Milestone Sessions…I Love These and You Should Too.
I love to photograph ALL the newborns and kiddos, but if I had to pick a favorite session, I think they may be milestone session. First, let's define milestone sessions...traditionally, they are when babies can sit (6 months-isH), when they can crawl (9 months-ish), first birthday, and every birthday after! (Because why not?)
As mamas, we know that our littles are constantly changing, and we are there to document it all with cell phone in hand! But let's be honest, cell phone images just don't always cut it. That is why I totally recommend milestone sessions for mamas with babies and toddlers. As a mom of three and a photographer, I just love these sessions! So I present to you, 'Five Reasons Milestone Sessions are my Favorite!'
Milestone sessions are short and sweet. Like 20-30 minutes short. Just enough time to capture the cuteness before little one is over me and my camera, and my singing.
Milestone sessions are FUN!! Like I said before, I will sing all the Encanto songs, dance, imitate Donald Duck, and do whatever else to make your little one laugh and smile. Is your kiddo more on the quiet side? No problem. I will let them warm up to me and the camera. Each child is different and some love all the attention, and others shy away from it. As a former Kinder teacher, I am pretty good at tailoring the environment to suite your individual child.
Also, these sessions are soooo simple! You don't have to coordinate a family in outfits (which is WORK!) It is simply about your little one. A sweet outfit or two, beautiful light, and those sweet smiles and quirks- that's all we need! My goal is to document who your little person is at this moment. If your babe needs to have Mickey by their side the whole time like Irene in these images, then great! My daughter insisted on having Moana while she was a flower girl in the wedding portraits, and I loved it! (the bride did too, I think?) But it tells a story and it is real.
Milestone session are affordable! With session times being shorter, and it centering around your sweet little boy or girl, there is just not a ton of work with these sessions. Therefore there is not a lot of investment required. Simple as that.
There you have it, why I just love milestone photography sessions. Whether you contact me to document your child's baby and toddler years, or another Las Vegas family photographer, these will be some of the sweetest portraits to look back on for years to come!
