Milestone Baby Session | Fleming Island Baby Photographer

It is always a little bittersweet when the little newborns that first came in to see me show up for their 1 year session. Time goes so quickly, and it feels like in a blink of an eye that those tiny, precious little newborns become tumbling toddlers. Brady came in to see me for his one year session. He had changed so much in the year since I saw him, but still just as handsome. As a 1 year old, Brady is full of personality and expressions! He was getting over a little cold but was still such a good sport for me.

When it came time for his cake smash, however, Brady was very unsure about the cake. Especially the frosting! This actually happens more than you may think during cake smashes. A cake and frosting are not only new food items for most babies, but they are new and unfamiliar textures as well. Brady was so fun to watch during cake because he would go from happy to crying for half a second if he touched, or even looked at, the cake. Sweet little man! Thank you so much for coming in to see me Brady!! Happy First Birthday!

Mandy | Fleming Island Newborn Photographer

Queen’s Harbor Yacht and Country Club Lifestyle Maternity Session

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the home of Mandy and Danny for their lifestyle maternity session. The time spent waiting to hold your little one in your arms is filled with emotions. Mandy and Danny are taking it all in stride. Mandy is so calm and relaxed for a first-time expectant mother. She is enjoying this time of wait. Danny is so loving, and knows how to make his wife smile the most beautiful, natural smile. I love lifestyle sessions for many reasons. To start, my clients are usually more relaxed in their own environment. This makes it so much easier to be relaxed and natural in front of the camera. Another reason I love lifestyle sessions is the resulting images. Having photos of you during life’s milestones in your own home surrounded by things you love creates a photograph that is even more meaningful. No matter where life takes you through the years, you will be able to look back at those photographs and remember right where you were at that time in your life.

I am so excited to meet Mandy and Danny’s new little love when she arrives. I truly enjoyed my time being welcomed into their home for the maternity session. And I am so thrilled that they enjoyed it as well. Here are the kind words that Mandy sent me after the session, “April, The pictures are awesome and exactly what we wanted! We are thrilled. I’m even more excited for you to do Caroline’s newborn session now.” Those are the kind of words that make my heart so happy, and reinforce why I love what I do. It is such an honor to capture life’s moments for my clients.

Milestone Sessions | Jacksonville Baby Photographer

During the first year of life, so many changes happen in our babies. Each stage is new and a little different than the last. We are excited to offer Milestone Sessions to capture all of those moments. Milestone sessions are a wonderful way to preserve each stage and capture your baby’s latest and greatest accomplishments. From discovering their toes to sitting up to pulling themselves up to stand. Typically, these milestones are around 3-4 months, 6-8 months and 12 months. However, these sessions should be scheduled based on your baby’s milestones rather than age.

Each Milestone Session is around 30 minutes long with one simple setup. The results are timeless images of your baby at different stages of the first year. Images you will cherish when your little one starts kindergarten and beyond.

Here are some examples of Milestone Sessions, and the various stages that are perfect for these sessions.

Rolling and Toe Grabbing – Approximately 4 Months Old

Sitting-Up – 8 Months Old

Standing/Walking – 12 Months Old

If you think you will want to book more than one Milestone Session for your baby, with or without a newborn session, joining the Baby Plan may be the best option for you. As a Baby Plan member, you’ll get priority booking on your sessions, complimentary session fees, and more! Please feel free to contact me to discuss which options will best meet your needs to capture your baby’s first year!
