DOCUMENTING YOUR CHILDS FIRST YEAR IN PHOTOS
Beyond the newborn photo session, it's important to plan to capture your child's first year of milestones. This first year is a special and fleeting time, and documenting it with photos is a wonderful way to preserve those memories and celebrate your child's growth and development.
One of the reasons it's important to capture your child's first year of milestones is that this time goes by so quickly. Babies grow and change at an incredible rate during their first year, and before you know it, they will be walking, talking, and exploring the world on their own. By taking photos at regular intervals throughout the year, you can document these changes and create a visual record of your child's growth and development.
A good time to schedule photo sessions during your child's first year is around 3 months, 6 months, and just before their first birthday. At 3 months, your baby will have changed a lot since their newborn photo session and will be more alert and interactive. This is a great age to capture their sweet smiles and adorable expressions. At 6 months, they will be starting to sit up and may even be starting to crawl. This is a fun age to capture their newfound mobility and curiosity. And, just before their first birthday, you can capture their personality and celebrate their first year with a cake smash session. This is a great opportunity to let your child have fun and get messy while celebrating this big milestone.
Another reason it's important to capture your child's first year of milestones is that these photos will be a special keepsake for your child. As they grow older, they will be able to look back at these photos and see how much they have changed and how much they have accomplished. These photos can also be shared with future generations, allowing them to see and understand the early stages of your child's life.
Furthermore, being in photos with your child is an important way to show them how much they mean to you. These photos serve as a tangible reminder of the love and connection between you and your child, and they can be a special keepsake for both of you to treasure.
