Baby Milestone Session
Capturing the magical moments of your little one's growth and development is a joyous journey we embark on together. Our Baby Milestone Sessions are designed to celebrate those precious milestones in your baby's first year of life. From their tiny fingers and toes to their adorable giggles and curious expressions, each session is a cherished opportunity to freeze time and preserve these fleeting moments forever.
1-Month Session: A 1-month-old baby is often considered a "bigger newborn," and for detailed information about photographing babies at this stage, please refer to our newborn session.
3-Month Session: Celebrate the budding personality of your baby at three months old, capturing their adorable expressions as they start to discover the world around them.
6-Month Session: Embrace the milestones of sitting up and exploring with our six-month session, affectionately known as the "sitter session." Capture those delightful moments of curiosity and discovery as your little one begins to interact with their surroundings in new and exciting ways.
9-Month Session: Commemorate the milestone of crawling and reaching with our nine-month session, capturing the playful energy and emerging independence of your little explorer.
1-Year Session: Celebrate your baby's first trip around the sun. You are welcome to either choose portrait session on this page or the most popular cake smash & splash session for baby’s first birthday.

frequently asked questions
-
While the number of months serves as a general guideline, every baby develops at their own pace. It’s recommended to discuss with your photographer to determine the optimal timing for your milestone session based on your baby's individual milestones and development.
-
I highly recommend booking your session as early as possible to ensure availability.
-
Absolutely! Including parents and siblings in the session is a great way to capture family connections and create lasting memories. Just let your photographer know in advance so they can plan accordingly. Including extended family members incurs a fee.
-
Milestone sessions typically last approximately one hour, providing ample time for necessary breaks, outfit changes, and capturing a diverse array of poses and expressions. If siblings or family photos are included, the session may extend slightly longer to accommodate additional participants.
-
I usually offer a carefully selected range of props and accessories tailored to your preferences as indicated in the questionnaire. However, if you have any cherished items or heirlooms you wish to include in the photos, please inform me. I will strive to incorporate them if they complement the session's setting. Please note that I adhere to a minimalist approach in my portrait sessions, aiming to minimize distractions and focus on capturing the essence of your milestone moments.
