Atlanta Baby Photographer
Whether your little one is hitting their first big milestones or diving into their first birthday cake, milestone and cake smash sessions are the perfect way to celebrate these joyful stages. I believe that every step, no matter how big or small, is worth capturing and cherishing. These sessions are relaxed, fun-filled experiences where your child can explore, play, and just be themselves, while you enjoy the moment.
At the end, you'll receive a gallery of candid moments alongside classic portraits that you'll treasure for years to come. Don't want to plan all of the details? All sessions at Scarlet Oak Photography include access to my client closet for moms and babies, as well as personalized style guidance for the whole family. All you need to do is show up, and I'll take care of the rest!

The Process
Prep for Your Shoot
I love to make the process of planning your session super easy! I have a Location Guide which can help you pick a beautiful spot for your session and A Session Guide to help you know everything you need to know about planning process and what goes into our session. Stressed about planning outfits for the family? Don't worry! I also have the option for complimentary styling for your session, and can suggest color schemes, outfits, and even give you direct links to purchase outfits so the planning stress is gone, and all you need to do is press check-out.
I'll send you "all-the-things" for your big day - location ideas, outfit inspo, you name it!
the Big Day
Here's where the fun begins! On our session day, we will meet at the chosen location and begin making beautiful memories. I love to let the children take the lead, and incorporate play into our sessions to get the genuine smiles and authentic personalities weaved into our session. You will be given prompts to elicit real connection between your family, rather than simply stiff and awkward posing.
the day has arrived and it's time to get those amazing photos you've been dreaming of!
Gallery Delivery
After our session, you can expect to receive your full gallery of images within 2 weeks. Can't wait? I also give sneak peeks for all of my sessions within 48 hours, so you have an image or share with your friends and family and build excitement for the full gallery reveal!
I know you are dying to see those photos and it'll be worth the wait!
Print Ordering
Though you are given a full gallery of images and a print release, purchasing prints through Scarlet Oak Photography is the best way to ensure the highest, heirloom quality prints and albums. I use a professional print lab for all of my prints and products, ensuring you receive the truest color tones and clarity in your images, as well as the highest quality of paper choices to allow your images to last generations.
Want to get your favorites printed to display in your home? I got you, mama!

"We had the most amazing experience with Emily taking our daughter's 1-year-old cake smash photos. You will not find a more organized, personable, or dedicated photographer to take your family photos. The only issue you will find is deciding which photos to frame as they all turned out incredible!!" -Bethany M.
I highly recommend Scarlet Oak Photography, LLC!
"We've used her services twice and have been exceptionally satisfied both times. She is professional and knowledgeable, and truly cares that her clients have beautiful images captured. I would highly recommend her!" -Diana G.
Emily captures such beautiful photos of our family.
Milestone and Birthday sessions are often scheduled within a month of their birthday/milestone date. This allows time for you to have your portraits back to display at your child's birthday party, or to be able to share with family or social media during your child's 3 month, 6 month or 9 month milestone date.
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION?
When booking a session with Scarlet Oak Photography, you do not need to stress about what to wear. Not only to I send all of my clients a style guide for inspiration, I offer a client closet for moms and babies, and can also offer complimentary and custom styling advice for the entire family.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
I would love to photograph your you and your wherever you feel most comfortable. Have a sentimental location in mind? Always dreamed of a family session in the mountains? I would love to make that happen for you!
Don't want to worry about the unpredictable Georgia weather? Prefer the look a a studio session? I would love to have you at my cozy, private studio here in Cumming.
what location should i choose?
I typically have openings for milestone and birthday sessions year round! To ensure availability, I suggest booking at least 1-2 months in advance.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?
Yes! I travel to document family sessions all the time. I would love to meet you in a location that is sentimental to you, but also have a list of my favorite locations to share with you as well. I do, however, try to stay within 1 hour of my studio in Cumming, GA.
do you travel?
Click the "Get In Touch" button below on the Investment section of this page and I would love to send you my entire pricing and session guide. If you have more detailed questions and would prefer to talk to me directly, I would be more than happy to set up a consultation call for you as well.
HOW CAN I GET A QUOTE?
All of my sessions require a non-refundable retainer of $200. This holds your session date for you and ensures my availability for your newborn session.
