Seattle Baby Milestone Photographer
Babies grow and change so quickly during their first year. Milestone sessions are a way to pause and capture these sweet stages—from sitting up proudly to those joyful first birthday moments.
3 Month Milestone Session
Three months is such a sweet stage. Babies begin to notice the world around them, sharing their first smiles and curious expressions.
Because most babies are not sitting independently yet, this session focuses on simple moments — tummy time, tiny stretches on their back, or being gently held in their parents’ arms.
6 Month Milestone Session
Six months is such a joyful stage. Babies often begin sitting on their own and share the biggest smiles with everyone around them.
This session focuses on capturing those happy expressions, curious looks, and those adorable chubby rolls that parents never want to forget.
Because many babies can sit independently at this stage, we’re able to photograph playful sitting portraits, little giggles, and the personality that begins to shine through.
9 Month Milestone Session
Nine months is a stage full of curiosity and movement.
Many babies are crawling, pulling themselves forward, and exploring everything around them with bright eyes and playful smiles.
This session captures that sense of discovery — the little expressions, the concentration, and the joy that comes with learning something new.
1 Year Milestone Session
The first birthday is such a meaningful milestone — not just for your baby, but for you as parents too.
Your baby may be standing, taking their first steps, clapping proudly, or showing off those joyful one-year-old smiles. Some families choose to celebrate with a small cake smash, capturing those messy little hands and curious expressions.
This session is also a beautiful time for parents to step into the frame and celebrate everything you’ve made it through together during this first year.
