These simple milestone sessions are perfect for documenting your little one’s milestones within the first year — like tummy time, smiles, giggles, toe grabbing, sitting and standing. I want to capture these fleeting moments so that you can cherish them long after they’re gone. These sessions are typically for babies between 3 and 12 months, however it is not necessary to schedule right at 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. I want you to schedule whenever you feel like you want to capture your babies progress. Every baby is different and that is what makes them special.
What I love the most about these sessions is the simplicity. I aim to keep props limited so that all of the attention on your baby and not a busy backdrop. Outfits should be kept simple (rompers, diaper covers, shorts, bare feet, SMALL delicate headbands, etc.) so that we can focus on those squishy arms, belly rolls, big eyes and tiny fingers & toes.
2-4 months
Sometimes we don't realize we want a newborn session until a few months post-partum. The 2-4 month mark is a great option if you missed the sleepy newborn stage. Around this age, babies are still tiny and limited to moving around. They are still mastering tummy time and holding their heads up for shorts periods. Baby is typically giving cute smiles to family and that is something we can capture in the studio. Along with the smiles, we can photograph baby on their back and tummy, lying in a prop and in parents' arms.
6-8 months
Baby is already halfway through the first year! So much growth and development has happened in such a short period of time. The most memorable being, sitting up and crawling. Both make stunning milestone images. The big smile, laughs, and sitter props will make a large variety in your gallery that you will cherish forever.
12-13 months
The first birthday is the biggest milestone of all and one of the most popular times to photograph baby. It's crazy to know that a full year has passed, but there is so much to celebrate, too! At 12 months, baby is often able to stand up on their own, even if holding on to a chair or stool. Both of my packages come with a traditional wooden backdrop with a prop and a cake smash. You have two options to choose from for the cake smash pictures. One being simplistic and the other being a custom theme. That can be anything that you want (if the backdrop is available).
