Your young one has reached a milestone! Babies go through so many changes in their first year. Now, they’re shining with personality. From their time as a newborn, babies are active, playful and full of smiles.
Baby sessions are always fun. From cake smashes, birthday parties, or milestone occasions, here is the time to get creative. Hold on to these moments through a milestone session.
Tips From Albina
It’s natural to be nervous, but your loved one is in good hands…ours! Besides being there the whole time, put your mind at ease with our FAQs.
When to Book
For us to accommodate the best experience, please reach out 1-2 months before your upcoming milestone.
Common milestones are captured during 3-4 months and 6-9 months when they are able to stay up by the tummies and when they are able to sit up on their own. Any photoshoot during their first year is a milestone session.
Note: Occasionally there is availability for last-minute bookings. While I have several annual clients booking family and special occasion sessions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
What to Expect
A beautiful portrait of your child is much more than just a smile. It is carefully created through lighting, textures & post production – it’s truly a piece of art.
You will get access to my baby/children’s closet of gorgeous gowns and outfits with you and advise on colors & clothing that will compliment your child best.
An average baby session is approximately 1 hour.
Looking to have a photoshoot with the whole family? Lovely! For inquiries, please contact me directly at info@photosbyalbina.com.
How to Prepare
It’s always helpful to do some photography research! Anything on my Facebook page is available to incorporate. Backdrops, props, poses, it’s all here for your use.
What Comes After?
Your photo-viewing appointment will be scheduled a few weeks after your photoshoot. This usually takes an hour and this is the time to select your favorites and package options.
Capturing the image is only half of the experience. While the images may look great on your phone or desktop, there is just no comparison between a digital image and a beautifully-framed wall portrait.
We’ll also explore my recommendation of prints, canvases, wall art and albums.
Let me use my experience and expertise to create classic portraits of your children, and their children will look back on for generations to come!
Packages & Pricing
Shooting locations can occur anywhere from my studio, or a beautiful and meaningful outdoor location. New England is full of treasured parks, beaches and scenic areas. It’s not uncommon to travel for the picturesque location.
Capturing this time with your loved one on camera is a beautiful memory to have. While we don’t ask you to commit to package type before seeing the photos, we kindly ask to pay the sitting fee in full on the day of the photoshoot.
