Milestone Sessions: What’s the big deal?

Friends, out of all the sessions I offer, Milestone Sessions are one of my most favorite. I absolutely love to walk alongside you on your journey from baby bump, newborn, and into these precious milestone moments. It's so fun for me as a photographer to go from those sleepy curled up newborn sessions to these where they are babbling and interactive, letting their big personalities out!

For those of you who may be new to the concept, what is a milestone photoshoot? Great question! You'll find hundreds of books discussing childhood development and milestones and that's where the idea comes from. It is, in literal definition, 'a roadside marker that lists the distance to a particular location.' Though in this case it's a marker of a significant moment or accomplishment in your infant's life. The basic examples being rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and of course coming into their bright smiles and blooming personality!

The most common time for milestone photos are 3 months, 6 months, and 9 month intervals with a first birthday photoshoot at the end. While these shoots can be themed like the majority of the ones I do, think less props and of the joy of interacting with your little one. Milestone photo shoots are exactly like the title sounds with the focus on your baby, and their special milestones. Is your three-month-old finding their toes? Does your six-month-old crack smiles now with those four teeth they worked so hard to grow? Or perhaps your nine-month-old is getting really into that one knee one foot crawl? These are milestones worth capturing and details that matter!

Every person is unique and that includes the time which milestones occur and how they present in each child. That's why every session is different and tailored to let your kiddos milestones shine where they are now and with what they've accomplished so far.
