Preserving Your Most Important Life Milestones

Part of being a mom is caring for and nurturing your children.  It is what we do.  This is demonstrated in many ways.  In this digital age with cameras literally in our hands all day long, we have become accustomed to snapping a photo of our children doing what they do everyday.  These pictures are great for capturing spontaneous moments and are always fun to look at and show our friends. These images often get discarded, not intentionally, but while fun, most of the time they are not compelling enough to be printed or saved other than for as long as we have our current cell phone.  

However, when those all important milestone events are approaching, you know the ones you think about and plan weeks in advance to make it a special, memorable time for your child.  As a smart mom, part of your planning will include professional photography to to document and cherish life's most precious moments.  Choosing to hire a professional photographer will allow you to be in the moment with your child and know that you have a professional who is capturing this special time, whether you schedule a professional photography session or hire the photographer to photograph your event. 

Here are some important milestones that you will be glad you preserved:

1)  Newborn - a professional photographer will understand the importance of timing and scheduling for newborn sessions. They will create a safe and comfortable environment for the baby.  They will use posing techniques to showcase the delicate features of your newborn.

2)  3 months, 6 months, 9, months and 1 year  - 

 - Documenting the first smile, giggle, and other developmental milestones.

5)  10-13 years - Tween Years!  It is important for your child's self-esteem during these trying years to treat them to a photography session just to celebrate them.  You might even consider having a photo session party with 3 or 4 of their friends.  Let them dress up, have fun, be themselves! 

6) High School graduation - It will be here before you know it.
