Baby Milestone Photography for 3, 6 & 9 Months in Edmonton

From their first gummy smile to sitting up on their own, every baby milestone is worth remembering. As a professional baby milestone photographer in Edmonton, I specialize in capturing these fleeting moments with a gentle, timeless, and natural style. Whether your baby is three months, six months, or celebrating their first birthday, each session is designed to highlight your little one’s unique growth and personality. Explore the gallery below to see how I document every milestone with soft tones, heartfelt emotion, and a relaxed, baby-led approach.

How Does a Baby Milestone Photography Session Work?

1. Get in Touch
Your baby milestone photography experience begins with a personalized consultation. Reach out and I’ll take time to answer your questions and learn more about your vision for your baby photo session. This is your opportunity to get to know me and see if I’m the right Edmonton baby milestone photographer to tell your baby’s growth.

2. Styling Consultation
Once your session is booked, we’ll plan every detail together, from lighting style to your baby’s outfits. You’ll enjoy full access to my curated client closet, allowing you to choose pieces that beautifully reflect your baby’s unique personality.

3. Session Day 

On the day of your baby’s milestone session, I’ll gently engage with your little one, allowing plenty of time for comfort, curiosity, and play. You’re welcome to relax and watch, or be involved with your baby as we capture genuine moments and sweet interactions.

4. Hand Retouching & Image Selection
Within 3 days of your session, you’ll receive a private selection gallery to choose your favourite baby milestone photos. Each selected image is hand-retouched by myself with care, enhancing your baby’s natural beauty while preserving the soft, timeless style you see throughout my baby milestone photography portfolio.

Baby Milestone Ages & Best Timing

We know how quickly these magical moments with your baby can slip by. That’s why our baby milestone photography sessions are designed to thoughtfully document each stage of your little one’s growth — from early smiles to their first birthday and beyond.

3 Months – Sweet Beginnings

At three months, babies begin to engage with the world around them through gentle expressions and curious glances. This milestone session focuses on capturing your baby’s delicate features, soft smiles, and those tiny details you never want to forget, using cozy setups and soft, natural lighting.

6–8 Months – Sitter Milestone

The sitter stage is one of the most popular milestone sessions. Around six to eight months, babies can sit with support, interact more, and show big personality. These sessions capture joyful expressions, first movements, and sweet, playful moments in a safe, comfortable studio environment.

12 Months – A First Birthday Milestone

Your baby’s first birthday is a beautiful milestone worth celebrating. These sessions focus on joyful, natural portraits that highlight your baby’s emerging personality and the incredible journey of their first year. (For cake smash or themed birthday sessions, we invite you to explore our dedicated cake smash photography experience.)

    Samantha was fantastic!she’s very detailed and works extremely well with the tiny bundles of joy. We were afraid we were too late into the booking process for newborns but she was very accommodating and made sure to keep in contact with instructions and information as needed leading up to (and after) the photoshoot. The photos came out spectacular and exactly as we had hoped!
    As a new parent, we were anxious as to how our baby would cope/cooperate, but Samantha is very skilled with calmly, safely and quickly working them into their poses. Highly recommended!

    Had a milestone session with Samantha and the whole experience was great. From the booking process to the photo session and payment, everything was easy and smooth. She reserves the whole day for you so the time for the session is very flexible and accommodating for the baby's schedule. I also appreciate how Samantha will try to fulfill all the wishes and ideas you might have for the photos.

    Samantha seems very experienced with babies. She is very patient and she even volunteers to feed and change my baby's diaper during the break time so we parents can get some rest. Her studio is clean and neat. The turnaround time for the photo was quick and the photos were beautiful.

    I would highly recommend her for your baby photos.

    My Wife and I reached out to Samantha to get pictures done for our Son's first birthday.

    From the initial discussion, the brainstorming of ideas, to the day of the photoshoot and the follow-up status updates post-photoshoot, the entire process with her was warm, thoughtful and professional.

    Samantha was able to execute on the specific theme and colours we wanted. She was accommodating around our schedules. Most importantly, she was gentle and playful with our Son during the actual photoshoot, putting my Wife and I at ease throughout it all.

    Samantha was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her for those needing professional Newborn Photography service.

    We chose Little One to take our baby's one-month-old photoshoot. We truly enjoyed the entire photoshoot experience—their professionalism was a delightful surprise!

    Before the photo shoot, they provided the preparation guide and discussed our preferred style in detail. They set up the scene in advance and maintained clear communication with us. The shooting environment was perfectly baby-friendly—with ideal temperature and humidity—ensuring our little one stayed comfortable throughout.

    The team patiently helped our baby to sleep, assisted with feeding, and carefully burped them. The entire process was handled with great expertise, and the staff were incredibly patient and caring toward our baby, who enjoyed the whole experience. We even picked up some valuable parenting tips from them!

    Little One is truly the top choice for new parents looking to capture their baby's precious moments!

    Samantha was fantastic for our newborn photos with our little girl. She was so gentle and careful with her, and the studio was so warm/peaceful that baby girl slept happily almost the entire time. The photos turned out amazing and the turn around was incredibly fast.

    We recently brought our three-month-old baby for his 100-day milestone session, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we stepped into the studio, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism.

    Will come back for another milestone session in the future!

    Frequently Asked Questions About Edmonton Baby Photography

    Planning a baby photoshoot might feel like a big task, especially when juggling the needs of your little one. That’s why we’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

    When’s the best time to schedule a baby photoshoot?

    It depends on the moments you want to capture! For milestones—like smiles, sitting up, or those first wobbly steps—sessions at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months are perfect.

    How can I prepare my baby for the photoshoot?

    A happy baby is a well-rested and well-fed baby! Bring along their favorite snacks, toys, or anything comforting. We also recommend dressing your little one in loose clothing before the session to avoid any marks on their skin.

    What should my baby wear?

    We’ve got plenty of adorable outfits and accessories in the studio, but feel free to bring anything you love. Simple, neutral tones or soft pastels work beautifully, keeping the focus on your baby.

    Can siblings or family members join?

    Absolutely! We love including parents and siblings in the session. These moments are about more than just your baby! They’re about celebrating the love and connection your family shares. We have family sessions for your to choose. 

    What if my baby gets fussy?

    No need to worry. We know babies have their own rhythms. Our sessions are completely flexible, with plenty of time for snuggles, feeding breaks, or even a quick nap if needed.

    What props and themes do you offer?

    Our baby milestone sessions are intentionally simple and natural. If you’re looking for a themed or cake smash session, we invite you to explore our dedicated cake smash photography experience.

    Milestone sessions are lifestyle-focused, designed to create a calm, safe, and neutral environment where your baby can explore freely and show their true personality. Rather than posed or themed images, these sessions focus on authentically documenting your baby’s milestones: from pushing up and sitting to crawling, standing, and early movement.

    How long will it take to receive the photos?

    You’ll get your professionally edited, high-resolution images within 15 days after you made the selection. 

    Can my baby sit up for the photos?

    If your baby is sitting independently at home, we’ll happily capture sitting portraits during your session. If not, that’s completely okay — we’ll never force poses. Each milestone session is guided by your baby’s comfort and abilities, allowing us to document authentic moments naturally.

    We’re here to guide you every step of the way. Contact us if you have more questions about your baby’s photoshoot session.
