Your baby is precious and perfect, and you want to capture every moment! While having a camera handy is always a great idea, professional photos can add an artistic touch to these treasured memories. Hiring a professional photographer for every day might be a bit much, but their talent and quality can make those key milestones unforgettable. Let’s explore the best times to photograph your little one :)

Maternity sessions

Celebrate the beauty of your pregnancy! A maternity session is a wonderful way to capture the joy and glow of the expecting parent(s). I do offer baby plans that include this session, making it a great addition to your baby book or album.

Newborn Session

Those first days are magical and fleeting. Aim to have your newborn photographed within the first week, ideally before two weeks of age. This is when they are most comfortable and can be posed in those adorable, artistic shots. Capture those tiny toes and wrinkled backs before they grow and change!

3-4 Month Session

Your baby is now smiling and interacting! At this age, tummy time can lead to precious photos of your baby lifting their head and showing those sweet smiles. If your baby isn’t quite ready for tummy time, just wait a bit until they are.

6-month session

Sitting up, grabbing toys, and laughing—this age is full of milestones! It’s one of the best times to photograph your baby as they start to sit with some help. Simple props and outfits can add fun without overshadowing their growing personality.

9-12 Month Session

Between 9 and 12 months, your baby is growing and changing so quickly! Crawling, standing, maybe even walking—so many exciting milestones happen during this period. Waiting for that big one-year milestone is definitely worth it. Capture these special moments as your baby reaches this amazing age!

one year and beyond

Teeth, first steps, and endless giggles! Even if your baby isn’t walking yet, celebrating their first year is a must. Schedule a cake smash session around their first birthday to commemorate this fantastic milestone in your baby’s life.
