maybe you're wondering...

"What's the difference between a milestone session and a one year session?"

Milestone sessions are available at any age really!  I do photograph a lot of babies at the six month mark... which is a very sweet milestone.  I do have a lot of clients return every year near their child's birthday to capture the changes that happen each year.  All of these are considered "milestone sessions".

Six Month Photography Sessions

I truly ADORE the 6 month stage and this is a great milestone to capture in addition to a one year session.. Your baby is growing, and their personality is starting to make its way to the surface. I highly recommend capturing portraits at the six month and one year milestones. You'll see a huge difference in those six months! And at one year, you have survived 365 days of parenthood! 

I love this stage because they are usually just starting to sit up, but they can’t run away from us yet! The smiles are the best at this age.  

yearly children's milestone sessions

I have many clients who return to me each year to capture portraits of their little ones.  After the one year cake smash sessions, they will often return for 2 years, 3 years and beyond.  Any age is a great age to capture in a portrait.

frequently asked questions...

When should i schedule A MILESTOnE session?

If you've already done a newborn session and you want to capture baby's first year, I think the 6-7 month range is the sweetest.  If they are sitting up with assistance, or independently, that is ideal.  Then, of course, a one year cake smash session is a necessity!  And many parents will come back year after year during their child's birthday month for yearly milestone portraits.

Should I do more than one session during baby's first year?

Its definitely up to each family.  Babies change a lot from newborn to six months to one year.  Its so fun to capture their sweet, emerging personalities along the way.  I promise you won't regret being in the pictures.  The first year goes by quickly and its so special to have these images.
