Houston Baby Milestone Photography

Tiny dimply fingers and toes, a million adorable expressions, and brand new tricks. This is what Houston Baby Milestone Photography is all about! Maybe you already enjoyed a newborn photography session, and you know just how valuable it is to have these moments captured. Or maybe life got too busy and you’re wanting to freeze these moments so you can remember them before your baby changes again. Either way, you will never regret booking a milestone session to document everything you love about the stage that your baby is in right now. In this blog post, I will explain:

What is a Houston Baby Milestone Session?

A milestone session is a short, twenty minute long session just for your baby. It’s their time to shine! During our time together, I will capture each sweet little feature: fingers, toes, lips, and plenty of full body poses so we can see their new tricks. New abilities like sitting up all by themselves (around six months old). Or pulling up to stand (around one year old).

Which Stages Should I Be Booking a Session For?

I recommend three months, six months, and one year. Or at least a combination of the three! At three months old, your tiny newborn as developed into a smiling cooing baby. They will likely have more rolls to squeeze, more expressions, and the ability to easily lay on their tummy and hold their little head up high! At or around six months old, babies can usually sit up by themselves (Or with mom very close by just in case we teeter over). Sometimes they are laughing more easily at this point as well! And at one year, babies can sometimes pull up on a rocking chair to stand or even take a few steps! At your one year old session, it is always encouraged to include a cake smash at the very end to celebrate babies upcoming birthday!

How should I prepare for a Houston Baby Milestone Photography Session?

First and foremost, always book in advance for two reasons: 1. Parents usually like to have their photos back in time to share with friends and family on baby’s actual milestone day. And 2. I book up two to three months in advance and I hate turning families away! How else should you prepare? Well, if you plan on enjoying a cake smash, I suggest bringing extra wipes, a change of clothes and maybe even an outfit change for you too, mom! Otherwise, I’ll provide everything else for you! I always bring along my white blanket for baby to lay or sit on, and a white rocking chair for 6+ month milestone sessions.
