6 Baby Milestones You’ll Want Professionally Captured (And When to Do It)
The first year of your baby’s life is filled with so many moments you’ll want to remember forever. From their first smile to their very first word, these milestones fly by in the blink of an eye. That’s why I always tell moms: don’t wait! Let’s talk about six special milestones you’ll never regret capturing with professional photos for your baby.
Newborn Snuggles (Within the First 2 weeks)
Newborns change so quickly in those early days. Capturing them in the first couple weeks lets you freeze that fresh, tiny baby.
From their squishy little lips to the way they curl up as if they’re still in the womb, these are moments you’ll want to professionally document.
The First Smiles (Around 2 Months)
There’s nothing quite like seeing your baby’s first smiles. It’s a milestone that lights up your entire world.
Scheduling a session around 6-8 weeks can help you capture those sweet, gummy grins when they start responding to your voice.
Tummy Time (At About 4 Months)
By 3-4 months, babies are starting to hold up their heads during tummy time and are so much more alert.
This is a great time for capturing their growing personalities, their curious eyes, and those adorable little smiles as they discover the world around them.
Sitting Up (Between 6 and 8 Months)
When babies start sitting up on their own, it’s a game changer for photos!
They’re more interactive, full of wonder, and their little personalities are really starting to shine. Around 6-8 months is the perfect time to capture their sitter milestones.
Standing Tall (At About 10 Months)
Whether they’re pulling up to stand or standing on their own, this stage is filled with wonder.
Babies around 9-12 months love to explore, and these moments are perfect for milestone images that show their sense of curiosity and growing confidence.
The Big ONE (1-Year Cake Smash!)
The first birthday is a milestone worth documenting. A cake smash session is the ultimate way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday. From the curious pokes to full-on frosting blanketed face, these sessions are as fun as they are sweet.
Your baby’s first year is filled with many milestones that deserve to be remembered.
Professional photography ensures you have beautiful, high-quality memories in photos that you can look back on forever.
