Milestones

Each little stage is such a big moment.  Those days are fleeting, let me help you remember the moments between newborn and first birthday.

baby’s first year really flies by

As a milestone photographer, I love watching your kids grow up before my eyes. To make the most of these photographs, I suggest booking your sessions around these classic milestones:

3-4 months

This is a fun age where they are smiling and giggling, but to get the most variety out of this milestone you want to make sure they can lift their heads to look forward when propped up on their elbows

6-7 months

To get the most variety here you want them sitting on their own, but not quite crawling away.  This session I capture those sitting moments (even if it’s with help), playing with toes, big smiles, and tummy time, which they are not superstars at, and might be pushing up in preparation to crawl.

8-9 months

They’re accomplished crawlers and just able to pull themselves up on furniture and stand with support  Here we will do supported standing poses and sitting positions.

Mt Clemens 6 month session | Isla

Isla has grown so much! It was so fun to hang out with her at her 6 month session. I'm not completely sure the feeling was mutual, but I really enjoyed it. She's a total doll, and I worked really hard to try for smiles. While she wasn't super smiley, she did deliver...

6 Month Sitter Session | Syren

Sweet Syren came back to the studio for her 6 month sitter session. I love seeing my newborn clients at this stage. They are so sweet and giggle freely. She wasn't sitting up 100% yet, but she was so good when she laid on her back or belly. The best part was that I...

Carter was at the studio again, this time for his 2 year photos. This kid is so cute, I'm so lucky to be his Macomb Milestone Photographer. This age can be hard (ok, fine, any age can be hard). But coming to the studio with an open mindset really makes all the...

Macomb Milestone Photographer | Carter

Macomb Milestone Photographer | Carter

Ahhh sweet, sweet little Carter. I had no idea what I'd get as Carter's Macomb Milestone Photographer. He came in for his 18 month photos, and it can be a hard age. I find that after 6 months there is always a risk of some stranger danger. They are trying to be...
