Baby Girl Milestone Photo Shoot

I have loved photographing this darling girl for her newborn, milestone, and first birthday!

As a Minneapolis-based newborn, baby, and child photographer, one of the most exciting things for me is seeing my little clients return for their milestone and birthday photoshoots.

There is something truly special about documenting a baby’s first year.


When it comes to baby photography, there's no denying that newborn sessions get all the attention. And for good reason! There's nothing quite like those first few weeks of a baby's life. But as any parent knows, the time flies by quickly, and before you know it, your little one is sitting up, crawling, and eventually walking. Capturing these milestones is just as important as capturing those newborn moments.

I always encourage my clients to schedule milestone sessions for their babies. These sessions typically are done when the baby is around 6-8 months old and then again near their first birthday. These sessions are such a wonderful way to capture your baby's fleeting milestones.

I recently photographed this sweet little girl for her milestone session, and it was an absolute joy. I had done her newborn session, so it was so special to see how much she had grown and changed in just a few short months. She was full of smiles and giggles, and we had so much fun playing with different props and backgrounds.

One of the things I love most about milestone sessions is that the babies do so well; they are quick and low-stress yet produce the most adorable images.

Of course, the most important thing is that the baby is comfortable and happy during the session. I always take the time to get to know my little clients and make sure they feel at ease. This helps me capture their true personalities and creates a fun, relaxed atmosphere for everyone involved.

As a parent, I know how quickly time flies and how important it is to capture those precious moments in your child's life. Milestone sessions are the perfect way to do that. Whether it's their first steps, their first words, or their first birthday, these sessions allow you to freeze those special moments in time and cherish them forever.

If you're considering scheduling a milestone session for your baby, I highly recommend it. Not only will you have beautiful photos to look back on, but you'll also create memories that you'll treasure for a lifetime. And who knows, maybe one day you'll look back on those photos and realize how much your little one has grown. My girls are now 11 years old and I’m so glad that I have images from all of their stages to look back on now.

The milestone and birthday sessions are so much fun for everyone and really capture those precious moments in your child's early life. So don't wait—schedule your baby's milestone session today and create memories that will last a lifetime.
