The Most Important Milestones For Classic Portraits

Why Document Milestones?

Because you don’t want to forget a thing! The nights may be long but the years are painfully short. Each stage of your child’s development marks a moment in time that you’ll never witness again. Milestone photography is the best way to always remember the little details, and “milestones” that happen in the first year of life and every year that follows. Babies change so rapidly, and you will want to remember the growth, and capture every stage. Milestone photography is also a gift for your child. For they will love looking back at these images, and seeing all of their “firsts.”

First Year Milestones

Here are some of the major milestones that are most commonly documented during the first year of life. From newborn to the big one, so much happens in between these short periods of time. From the tiny hairs on your newborns ears, to the way your baby can show you how old they are with their pointer finger, and a big smile, these are the moments you want to invest in documenting. Pick a few or pick all!! You won’t regret it!
