The Best Ages for a Studio Milestone Session

If you’re considering milestone photos for your little one, you’re making a wonderful choice! These sessions document the incredible growth and personality changes that happen in a baby’s first year. If you're in or near Jeffersonville, NY, my studio is the perfect place to create timeless portraits in a comfortable setting. Let’s break down the best ages for milestone photos and how to make the most of each session.

Best Ages for Milestone Photos

3-4 Months (Tummy Time Stage)At this age, babies start to lift their heads and give the cutest expressions. This session focuses on capturing bright eyes, emerging smiles, and the beginnings of personality. It’s perfect for families who may have missed the newborn window but still want to document early babyhood.

6-7 Months (Sitter Session)One of the most popular milestones, the sitter session happens when babies can sit up unassisted but aren’t quite crawling yet. This sweet spot allows for incredible photos with giggles, chubby cheeks, and playful curiosity. Babies at this stage are typically very engaged and full of expressions, making it an ideal time for a studio session.

One Year (Cake Smash or Classic Portraits)The big first birthday! A simple and classic portrait session, this is a milestone worth celebrating. One-year-olds are full of personality, curiosity, and energy, making for dynamic and memorable images.
