Your child’s first year passes unbelievably fast. Before you know it, they’re crawling, then standing, then walking. These firsts and special moments sometimes pass so quickly, you don’t have a chance to get these milestone photos.
Scheduling regular milestone photo sessions throughout your little one’s first year allows you to have images marking each major change. From holding their head up to sitting to standing and walking, these baby monthly milestone photos sessions are the perfect way to capture your baby’s growth and development throughout their first year.
The 6-Month Milestone Photos Session
At this age, your baby should have the strength sit up on their own and push up with their arms. They will also have more expressive reactions and smile a lot more, making this time the perfect opportunity to follow up your newborn photos with new images like these once in their lifetime milestone photos. You’ll be amazed at how much your child has changed in those 5-6 months! When your baby reaches six months, they should be expert at sitting up on their own and may be attempting a crawl but haven’t taken off just yet. This stage of your little one’s life offers tons of new poses to capture and is the perfect time to book a photo session as it’s midway between their birth and their first birthday.

Capture the memories in an album
There are so many things you can do with images, like milestone photos, beyond sharing them with family and friends on social media. You can have canvases or prints made to hang in your home or even create an album for each session. Albums are a great way to have a physical copy of the memories that matter most to you and provide you and your child with something to look back on together in the years to come.
