What Are Milestone Sessions?
Milestone sessions are a series of photography sessions that document key stages in your baby’s first year. Rather than waiting for a single annual photo, milestone sessions allow you to capture your baby’s development at regular intervals, creating a beautiful visual timeline of their growth. Typically, these sessions are scheduled at:

Newborn (0-2 weeks): Those precious, sleepy first days when your baby is still so tiny and new.
3 months: When babies begin to smile, respond to voices, and start showing more of their personality.
6 months: The time when many babies begin sitting up on their own and their expressions become even more animated.
9 months: At this stage, babies might be crawling, exploring their surroundings, and developing a strong sense of curiosity.
12 months (First Birthday): A major milestone that marks your baby’s transformation from infant to toddler—often celebrated with a cake smash!
Why Capture These Milestones?
Your baby’s first year is filled with rapid changes, and before you know it, they’re on to their next big moment. Here’s why milestone sessions are so valuable:

1. Preserve Each Stage of Development

Each milestone session highlights a new stage in your baby’s development. By capturing these key moments, you can look back and see how your baby has grown from a newborn to a one-year-old, preserving not only their physical growth but also their emerging personality.

2. Create a Timeless Keepsake

With a series of milestone photos, you’ll be able to create a timeless keepsake that can be cherished for years to come. Many parents enjoy displaying these milestone photos in their homes or creating a custom album that tells the story of their baby’s first year.

3. Celebrate the Small Moments

Milestone sessions aren’t just about the big firsts like walking or talking; they’re also about capturing the smaller, more intimate moments—like the way your baby’s eyes light up when they recognize your voice, or how they giggle when they play with their favorite toy.

4. Stress-Free and Fun

Because milestone sessions happen every few months, they allow you to document your baby’s growth without the pressure of trying to capture everything in one go. Each session is a short, relaxed experience, designed to be enjoyable for both you and your baby.
