capturing meaningful moments, not just ages
As a Nashville baby photographer, I’ve seen how quickly the first year flies by. Just when your little one masters one milestone, they’re already moving on to the next.
This season is full of growth, change, and wonder—and milestone photo sessions are the perfect way to remember every stage. Babies won’t fit in your arms forever, but the beautiful portraits that we capture will last a lifetime.
At Shannon Payne Photography, I know how busy raising babies can be, and I am here to take care of all the details for you.

Step 01
I take on a limited number of sessions to ensure a boutique, personalized experience for every family.
Milestone sessions are available to babies 4-12 months as well as toddler and children as they grow. We love celebrating all ages and milestones.
My calendar often books several months in advance. I recommend reserving your session date at least two months ahead of time.
If your baby hasn’t quite reached a developmental milestone as the date approaches, we’ll work together to adjust the timing as needed.
