There’s something magical about watching a family grow! Having the privilege to capture these moments is something I cherish deeply as a photographer. This month, I enjoyed photographing my adorable niece, Lucy, at her three-month milestone session right here in my studio in Downtown Kankakee.
At just three months old, Lucy is already showing us who she is – vocal, expressive, and all with a bit of sass. It’s these early expressions of personality that make milestone sessions so precious.
Lucy’s big sister, Sofia, first stole our hearts back in 2018. Since Lucy was born, it’s been a joy to see parts of Sofia reflected in Lucy. While many say Lucy is Sofia’s twin, I see so much more. In her eyes and sweet smiles, I see glimpses of my sister and my dad, a beautiful reminder of the strong family ties that bind us.
Milestone sessions like these are not just about capturing how much a little one has grown physically… They are also a beautiful opportunity to document the growing personality that make each little one unique. These first-year milestone sessions offer time to pause, giving families like ours memories to hold onto as the years pass.
Here’s why I believe in the importance of capturing these first-year milestones:
- Documenting Growth: The first year is filled with rapid changes not just in size but in motor skills and personality.
- Celebrating Milestones: Each session marks a milestone in not just the baby’s life but the family’s journey as well.
- Creating Memories: Photos from these sessions become part of the family’s visual legacy, cherished for generations to come.
As we continue to watch Lucy grow, these photos will serve as beautiful reminders of her tiny features and big personality at this moment in time. I look forward to capturing all of her milestones, celebrating each little step along the way.
Stay tuned for more adventures from Lucy’s first year! And remember, it’s never too early to start planning how you want to capture your little one’s first-year milestones!
