Attention all Mandeville parents with precious little ones – it’s time to get ready for their milestone photography session!
A milestone photo shoot focuses on capturing the significant developmental stages or “milestones” in your child’s life. These sessions are a way for you to document and celebrate the rapid changes and progressions in our little one’s growth and development.
As a mom and a photographer, I know how important and precious these milestone moments are.
I want to share some tips on how to prepare your baby for their milestone photography session to ensure we capture those unforgettable moments in the most beautiful way.
Schedule Around Your Baby’s Routine
Babies are happiest when they are well-rested and fed. Try to schedule the session around your baby’s nap and feeding times. A happy baby equals a smooth photoshoot and beautiful, natural photos.
Choosing the Perfect Outfit for Your Milestone Photography Session
Clothing choices can really make a difference in your photos. Choose an outfit (or a lot of outfits) that highlight your baby’s natural cuteness.
If you’re unsure, just get in touch with me and I can help you choose the one that will photograph best. If you book a session with me I literally have hundreds of children’s clothes to choose from. Every milestone photography session comes with an in person consultation where we “style” their session.
Bring Familiar Toys to Your Milestone Photo Shoot
Bringing a favorite toy or a special blanket can help make your baby feel more comfortable in a new environment. Plus, these personal items add a lovely, sentimental touch to your milestone portraits.
Keep it Simple
Remember, the focus of these photos are your beautiful baby and their milestones. It’s best to avoid overly busy backgrounds or too many props. Simplicity is key to creating timeless photographs.
Relax and Have Fun with Your Milestone Photography Session
Your baby can pick up on your energy. If you’re relaxed and having fun, chances are your baby will too!
Don’t worry about getting the perfect shot – that’s my job. Your job is to enjoy this special moment with your little one.
