Last week, I shared all about Family Milestone Sessions. This week, I’m sharing a bit more info on the best time to book those (or any baby milestone session).
Clients and prospective clients alike always ask the best questions. The one I get the most often is when is the best age to book a milestone session for baby. My answer depends a bit on the situation, but here are my best tips for discerning when the best time might be for you!
Best Age to Book a Milestone Session for Baby | NC Baby Photographer
Did you know milestone sessions aren’t just to document baby up to age one? Personally, I feel up to the age of ten is perfect for milestone sessions. There are so many important moments in your child’s first decade, and they don’t stop after the baby and toddler years. I love helping you celebrate your babies each year, and we certainly don’t have to call it quits after the cake smash session. Milestone sessions are the perfect way to continue documenting their life, long after the sleepless newborn nights and first steps.
Whether you opt for the Signature Session experience or a Simplicity Session, milestones are a fabulous way to keep those gallery walls updated and ensure your little ones’ first chapters of life are well preserved.
The Typical Baby Milestones
If you’re wondering when to book your baby’s milestones, our favorites to document are around 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. These don’t have to be exact, of course. The three-month session is when baby starts to roll over and be more expressive. The six-month session is when they’re learning to sit up on their own. The nine-month session is typically when they become more mobile, and the twelve-month session is their first birthday, and sometimes babies are already walking by then. There are so many special moments to document in your baby’s first year. These are just my suggestions! Plus, these adorable birthday hats are available in pink and blue for 1/2 and 1st birthdays from the studio wardrobe.
Tatum’s One Year Milestone
Tatum wore the most adorable two-piece set for her six-month session! Mom loved this outfit so much that she bought it in every milestone size, from newborn photos to first year! We can’t wait to see her again soon for her one-year session!
