Capturing the milestones in your child's life is more than just taking pictures—it's about preserving precious memories that tell the story of their growth and development. Children grow up so quickly, and it can be easy to forget the small details as time passes. Photographs capture those fleeting moments, preserving the innocence, wonder, and joy of childhood. Milestone photographs are not just memories—they can also become beautiful pieces of art that adorn your home. Displaying these images on your walls adds a personal touch to your living space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with love and cherished memories.
I understand the unique joys and challenges that come with raising a child with special needs. As a mom of a special needs child myself, I have firsthand experience with the patience, understanding, and love that our children require. This personal journey has deeply informed my approach to photography, allowing me to create a welcoming and supportive environment for every family. With years of professional experience, I specialize in working with children with special needs, ensuring each session is tailored to meet the individual needs of your child. I take the time to get to know your child, understanding their preferences and creating a calm atmosphere. Whether it’s taking breaks when needed, providing a sensory-friendly space, or simply being patient and flexible, my goal is to make the experience enjoyable and comfortable for everyone involved. As a parent who understands the struggles and triumphs you face, I am committed to providing a compassionate and understanding experience, ensuring that your family's unique story is told through my lens.

Every stage of your child’s life is filled with magic—those first wobbly steps, cheeky grins, and the way their personality shines brighter with each passing day. At Precious Twenty-One Photography, my milestone and children’s portrait sessions are designed to capture these fleeting moments and turn them into memories you’ll treasure forever. These sessions are all about celebrating your child and the amazing little person they’re growing up to be. Whether we’re marking their first birthday, a big milestone like turning five, or simply capturing the joy of their everyday moments, every session is thoughtfully planned to reflect who they are right now. From the giggles to the serious expressions, it’s about preserving their personality in its truest form. When you book a milestone or children’s session with me, I’ll make sure it’s a fun and easy experience for everyone. My Woodbury studio is filled with playful props and backdrops, perfect for bringing out your child’s personality. Or, if you prefer, we can head outdoors to explore a favorite park or a beautiful location around the Twin Cities. The session will feel more like play than posing! I use a relaxed, child-led approach to help them feel at ease in front of the camera. Whether they’re shy, silly, or full of energy, I’ll work with their natural rhythm to capture those moments that make them them. These portraits aren’t just pictures—they’re a way to celebrate your child’s journey and create keepsakes that will grow more precious with time. Together, let’s create a collection of memories that showcase every beautiful stage of their childhood.
