What are milestone sessions?
Milestone sessions are photography sessions that capture your child’s growth and development at different stages in their first year. These sessions are typically done around the following milestones:
3-4 months (when your baby can hold their head up on their own)
6 months (when your baby can sit unassisted)
9 months (when your baby can crawl)
12 months (when your baby can stand or take their first steps)
Milestone sessions can also be done to celebrate other special occasions, such as a first birthday or a holiday.
What should I wear to a milestone session?
The best thing to wear to a milestone session is something that is comfortable and timeless. Avoid busy patterns and opt for solid colors or simple patterns. You can also coordinate outfits with your family members.
What should I bring to a milestone session?
Here are a few things you may want to bring to your milestone session:
A few different outfits for your baby
Diapers and wipes
A bottle if your baby is bottle-fed
A pacifier
A blanket
Snacks for yourself and your family
What if my baby is fussy during the session?
Don’t worry! Babies are unpredictable, and it’s perfectly normal for them to get fussy during a photo session. The photographer will be experienced in working with babies and will do their best to capture great photos even if your baby isn’t cooperating all the time.
How long does a session last?
Milestone sessions usually last up to an hour. Some kiddos make it closer to 45 minutes. I have found that kids vary from day to day at these ages, and some days will be better than other. No worry, we will still have lots of great images if you little one doesn’t make it the full hour set aside for the session.
What happens if my child is sick?
As a parent, I know that kids seem to pick up germs everywhere and are sick frequently. If your child wakes up sick, let me know right away the morning of your session. We can reschedule your session, without a fee. I will send you my studio calendar and you can pick a new date and time. I have rescheduling dates build into my calendar, making rescheduling easy.
How can we (parents) assist with the shoot?
Parents play a vital role in ensuring a smooth and successful milestone photography session. Here’s how they can assist:
Before the Session:
During the Session:
Remember: The photographer is there to capture precious memories. By being prepared, patient, and actively involved, parents can significantly contribute to a fun and successful milestone photography session.
