Milestone sessions are important too!
Don't stop at newborn photography! Babies change so rapidly that it's important to capture each milestone throughout the year so you can compare the growth and fully enjoy every stage. From a completely helpless newborn to a walking, mischievous toddler with a full blown personality. It is incredible at how fast the first year will fly by. Feel free to blink but make sure you schedule a session to capture each stage of their growth. These sessions are typically for babies between 3 and 12 months, however every baby is different and these milestones will come at different days or weeks.
Here is a little peek at Max’s 10 month milestone session….
Between Newborn and three months… Your little one will be learning to hold their heads up and even roll over. Next is the 3-7month stage when they develop tummy and back muscles to help them sit. This is one of my favorite milestones… Stranger danger hasn’t quiet set in yet and they smile at the goofiest noises. Next comes the more mobile baby stage. From 7-10months babies go from sitting to rocking back and forth on their knees and before you know it they are crawling, standing and holding on and may start to pull themselves up onto furniture. Finally, the countdown is on to their first birthday and you’ve been imagining it since the day they were born. This is one of my most popular times to photograph. Baby gets their first taste of sweets and the celebrations begin. Congrats you just made it through your first year.
When is the best time to schedule? Book your sessions now and you'll have one less thing to think about! I will reach out when it’s time to start thinking about documenting the next big milestone.

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 your little one. I have plenty of headbands and tiebacks available, as well as a growing outfit supply for your little ones, boy or girl. Should you need assistance choosing something for your little one to wear, do not hesitate to reach out to me and I can send you a list of my favorite online shops, vendors and retailers that would best suit your little one’s session needs.
Milestone sessions take place in my studio in Torrance, CA and are between 20-40minutes. I usually schedule these sessions mid morning or early afternoon depending on baby’s nap schedule. Sessions range from $350-$425
