When you schedule your baby’s first year photos – newborn, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and one year sessions you will be able to document your baby’s growth. Your baby will begin smiling and laughing, rolling over, sitting up, crawling, clapping, standing, all the things! You want to make sure to show your baby these memories when they grow up.

2. Creating Heirlooms
Milestone Sessions encourage confidence through print
Professional images are high quality images you can print in any size. You can create an album, frame your prints, print on canvas and other platforms. You can also create calendars and other gifts for grandparents and family members. After your baby’s first year, printing an album of all the milestones to see in succession is rewarding. You and your baby will want to look at the photos together. When your baby turns one, they are ready to look at photos of themselves and will love it! When kids see their pictures in print and hanging in your home they develop self-esteem and confidence knowing they are important.

3. Make Your Baby’s Session Their Own
Milestone sessions document baby’s personality
Baby’s first year photos document your baby’s personality. By creating a session tailored toward their individuality, you will see all the smiles and laughter. You and your photographer can create fun sessions together. You can keep it simple by booking a studio session, and at home session, or an outdoor session. During these sessions you can document baby being natural and doing their thing. If you love a theme, you can create a theme session such as baby spa day, favorite character or book, or nine months in-n-out at In-n-Out Burger. Some people come up with great themes and others enjoy photographing the natural abilities of baby laughing, crawling, standing, and almost walking.
