NYC Family Photography milestone sessions are perfect for any family with a young baby. They are a great way to capture your baby’s features but when is the best time to do this type of session? The best time is between 6 months to 2 years old.
During this time, your baby's changes so much and they become very interested in their surroundings. They’re interacting with you, smiling, laughing, clapping and sometimes walking. It’s such a fun, busy time!
Including a cake smash during the session is such a joy! Some babies dive right into their cake. Whereas others may take a while to dig in. Regardless of their reaction, it's always fun to see! Whether or not there's a cake smash, milestone sessions are best when mom and dad are involved. Your baby should be celebrated but you should be too. You survived your first year of parenthood!
These sessions can be done in the studio or outdoors however, the studio is a contained area that may be better for younger babies. Outdoor milestones sessions are possible and still deliver beautiful results.
Here are some images from two sessions of my own little one. One for his first birthday and another a year later. It did not disappoint and having these images is so special!
