Lauren Milestone Baby Milestone Portraits for Ella Kate

Ella Kate is 7 months old! We did milestone portraits when her big brothers were this age, and as it always goes for the baby of busy families, time flies by and parents remember, “Oh, wait! I forgot to schedule xyz!”. So when her mom reached out and said “Ella is six months already! I think I’d like to do a milestone session and capture this sweet stage!”... I was happy to fit her in right away for a studio session. 

This is such a fun age for milestone portraits. At 6-7 months, babies have some great milestones and things to explore. They grab their toes, roll around, and get to play in our studio. I love playing peekaboo with them so we capture their laughs! One of the other things I love about these milestones is documenting their beautiful finger and elbow dimples. Babies so quickly grow out of this stage, so having portraits of their adorable smile and chunky fingers is special as years go by! 

The best part about these milestone sessions? You literally don’t have to bring a thing, so zero planning was required other than figuring out what time worked best around her nap schedule. Ella borrowed outfits and headbands from the studio, and her mom picked out all of her favorites when she arrived. It was an absolute breeze, completely stress-free. Instead, we just had lots of fun watching this sweet girl and her new skills and budding personality!

Six Month Milestone Portraits for Gabriella with Saratoga Springs Baby Photographer

Gabriella is already six months old! I can’t believe this sweet girl is already halfway through her first year. I feel like it was just yesterday that she was here for her newborn portraits. Gaby was so sweet in the studio for her new milestone portraits and I loved the chance to see her and her sister Giuliana again! 

Gaby is a tiny little peanut and was still able to fit into our newborn size outfits! Her big sister was the same at this age, and it’s adorable to see a baby so small and so strong sitting up on her own. There’s something so sweet and yet so powerful about these girls!  

For Gaby’s portraits, we incorporated some of the same elements that big sister Giuliana had in her portraits, too. I love being able to do that with siblings. It’s a wonderful way to create connections between portraits that will be displayed together. For Gaby’s portraits, we used the same Caden Lane personalized blanket from her newborn portraits. We also did another portrait of the sisters with the baby stroller, echoing a similar one that we created during the newborn session six months prior. It was a sweet moment to see again! We also included some of their mom’s bracelets in a few portraits, too. It is so special knowing that we’re creating a new set of heirlooms for Giuliana and her sister! 

It feels like I’m going to blink and Gaby will be back here for her cake smash session. I hope time slows down a little before then!

Six Month Milestone Portraits for Sofia

Sweet Sofia is 6 months old! I can’t believe this darling girl is already halfway to her first birthday. Her mom brought her by the studio recently for her six-month milestone portraits and I just had so much fun capturing this smily girl. Sofia was super happy for us the entire time, which made our session a blast. Honestly, this is my favorite age to photograph - because their little personalties really come to life!

During Sofia’s session, I felt like I was having a bit of a flashback. Her big sister, Ella, did milestone portraits with me in 2019. We actually used a similar color palette for Sofia, and mom even brought in the same peachy romper for baby sister to wear in one setup! It was so sweet and super special to know these sisters will have matching portraits from this big milestone session!

The rest of the outfits for Sofia were from our studio’s Baby Wardrobe. I loved the white and mauve outfits mom picked out, along with some of my favorite headbands. Sofia seemed to like them too and enjoyed showing off all of her new skills around the studio. Happy 6 months, Sofia!

Grayson is FIVE!

Our sweet Grayson is FIVE!

Five feels like such a huge milestone for our little guy, and I know that this year will bring so many exciting new changes & adventures for him. This birthday marks the transition away from the baby & toddler years, and into the big kid years. As a mom, I truly don’t know how time has slipped away so quickly. So of course, I wanted to celebrate his first five years with an extra special portrait session.


A few years ago I did a black & white photo setup for a client’s baby, and ever since then I’ve been hoping to create one for our little guy! I just love the contrast between the black & white backdrop and the vibrant, happy birthday boy. I went back through our photo archives from the past five years and printed all of my favorites into a photo backdrop for Grayson. I loved looking back through these memories, from his first day at the hospital to holidays and birthdays and silly toddler days at home. The hardest part was choosing which ones to include!

Timeless Milestone Portraits in our Saratoga Springs Studio

‌I’ve been photographing this family since before Carter was even born, and they are just the sweetest! Their son Bennett was born on the exact same day as my baby girl, and now we have an extra special connection with our littlest ones. I loved welcoming them into the studio for his milestone portraits, and we captured so many happy portraits of this smiley baby boy. 

Big brother Carter was incredibly interested in the session, and he asked to have his turn in front of the camera again and again, so we were able to capture plenty of individual portraits showing his spunky personality, too! I’m all about making sure your little ones feel included - and if it means a few extra portraits for mom and dad, even better! 

For Bennett’s setup, we chose to use the white studio floor, the bed, and some fun chunky blankets. I just LOVE how they photograph. They’re a great pop of color against all of the neutrals for your baby. Mom and dad also chose some super sweet outfits for Bennett - including the sweet grey sweater he wore at the end. He looked so grown up!! 

I hope that these portraits are well-loved in their home as both boys grow!

Sitter Session Milestone Portraits in the Studio

‌Capturing milestone portraits might be one of my favorite parts of my job as a children's photographer here in Saratoga Springs! This winter was super busy at the studio with lots of families bringing their babies in for milestone portraits, especially with their second and third babies. All of them turned out to be so simple and classic… none more so than Jordan’s 8 month milestone portraits! 

I’ve actually photographed all three brothers’ milestone sessions, so seeing Jordan and his two big brothers, Jonas and Jacob, all together in the studio was a real treat! Jordan loved showing off his new skill: sitting up! He sat on the studio floor, on the blankets we gave him, and on the bed. It was perfect - and exactly what I want! I want to see what your babies are getting up to when they come in for their milestone portraits! He was so cute playing peek-a-boo and enjoying the little wooden toys in the studio. 

As I do with all of my milestone portraits, I kept the setups super simple so we could focus on Jordan (and his big brothers). Everything was neutral and mom chose some super cute blue outfits for our little guy to wear. The end result is SO timeless. I know these portraits will be cherished in their home for years to come!

Six Month Milestone Portraits for Baby Luke

Happy 6 months, Luke! Luke, along with his big sisters Nora and Margot, came to the studio recently to document his newest milestones. His big brother, Greyson, wasn’t able to join for this session but we hope to capture a few photos with him next time Luke is in the studio! I just adore the family. They’ve traveled 3 hours to my studio with three of these kiddos to capture their six month milestone portraits, so Luke’s portraits were very special to me.

Luke is Mama’s first baby boy, and she loved going through the studio’s Baby Wardrobe and choosing a few favorites for her son to wear in his portraits. All of these outfits are from the studio! I love how he looked in all of them. They’re all so classic - neutral colors, which I love - and he was so sweet.

Luke was soooooo smiley throughout the whole session. His sisters loved on him with full force and gave him all of the hugs and kisses and cuddles. Then once it was his turn for his individual portraits, his face simply lit up with the biggest smile! In so many of these he is looking off to the side at his mama, and I love the eyes and that sweet smile he has for her. How incredible is that? They’re going to have such special memories looking back at these portraits years from now.

Thank you for sharing another milestone session with me! I’m so happy I got see Baby Luke and his darling big sisters!!

6 month milestone portraits with Saratoga Springs Baby Photographer

I absolutely adore working with Jen and her boys. I’ve photographed all three boys since they were born. Each has had a newborn, milestone and first birthday session in my studio… well, Baby Rhys is only on his milestone session. He’s got another 6 months before he turns one! Either way, I love seeing them in my studio every few months. It’s a great time to catch up on what’s been going on - and I adore watching their boys grow up. They’re all so sweet!

During the milestone sessions, we always update a portrait of the brothers together. This time, since we were close to Halloween, it seemed fitting to do their photo in their costumes. The middle boy’s middle name is Draco, and we’ve always leaned into the dragon theme for his portraits. Naturally, the three boys are dragons for Halloween this year!! They were SO cute and excited to be in their costumes. I loved capturing that fun portrait of them.

It was good to see Rhys, too. I saw him for his newborn portraits 6 months ago. Now, he’s just the most mellow baby and so happy. He made my job easy with lots of easy smiles and sweet big eyes. Mom picked out the cutest little overalls for him. He looked like such a little man! I can’t believe he’ll be back for his one year session before long!

Baby Milestone Portraits with a Family Heirloom Dress

It was so good to see Baby Briar in the studio again! I met Baby Briar when she was a newborn – and I captured her mother’s maternity portraits, too. It’s always so special to then see those babies grow every few months when they come back to the studio for milestone portraits. For Briar’s six-month milestone portraits, we planned a classic and simple studio session. 

Briar’s mom chose a few outfits for the portraits – including a sweet pink romper I adore from the studio’s baby wardrobe. It was the perfect pop of color in Briar’s newborn portraits! And she looked so sweet. They also brought a family heirloom: a cream crocheted dress for Briar to wear. The dress was her grandmother’s, who wore it as a baby, and has now passed it between new babies in the family! It was so sweet – and it looked amazing with my Moses basket. 

Six-month milestone sessions are always a great time. Babies are learning to sit up, they’re laughing and have the sweetest smiles. I love watching them show off their new skills and explore the studio. I’m so happy to share these sweet milestone portraits with you today for Briar!!

Classic studio portraits with family heirloom dresses

Meet Annabelle! This sweet girl came to my studio for milestone portraits to celebrate a few things! First off, she’s 2.5 years old so we wanted to take the time to photograph her at this stage. Toddlers are so much fun. They’re talking, they’ve got sweet personalities and the best laughs and smiles. I’m so happy her mom decided to document this beautiful time in her childhood.

Annabelle’s mom also brought in two very special heirloom dresses for her session! The first was a dress that’s been passed down multiple generations from her grandmother’s Norwegian family. It’s a traditional Norwegian folk dress that Annabelle’s mother wore when she was little, too. For Annabelle’s family, it was important to photograph this sweet girl in her family’s dress. What a beautiful way to celebrate her family’s heritage, special traditions, and clothing. I created the Norwegian folk art backdrop especially for her session to complement the dress.

Her family also lives part of the year in Kenya, so they brought a second dress in to celebrate that part of her life. This beautiful white dress was sent by their neighbors there and Annabelle looked so sweet in it! Again, what a wonderful way to capture what’s going on in her family’s life right now.

We ended the session with a few classic Easter portraits in the studio. Annabelle had fun being her silly self during those - and I love how they came out!! Annabelle’s session is a great reminder that milestone portraits are truly about capturing what matters most to your family.

Beautiful Milestone Portraits in our Saratoga Springs Portrait Studio

Baby milestone sessions are always such a treat, and I love when families bring their little babies to the studio for portraits to capture their smiles, their personalities, and all of their milestones. There is so much that happens between the newborn stage and the first birthday, and I love capturing that for families to slow down time and remember forever!

Rolling over, sitting up, grabbing their toes, and shyly showing off their gummy smiles and their brand new baby teeth. All of these are such fleeting moments during your baby’s first year, and they all deserve to be beautifully documented.

Giuliana joined me at our Saratoga Springs studio for her 6 month portrait session, and this itty-bitty girl fit into some of our tiniest outfits in the studio’s Baby Wardrobe. We chose adorable headbands for her to coordinate with the colors in her nursery and with her newborn portraits, and started off with a few portraits on the studio’s boho egg chair. (See more portraits on this springtime prop here!)

I love all of these milestone portraits, and I’m excited to share them on the blog today! I hope you enjoy this sweet baby girl’s milestone session as much as I did!

Timeless Milestone Portraits for Baby Xander

Xander joined me at our Saratoga Springs portrait studio for his milestone session, and I loved capturing this sweet stage of sitting up, belly rolls, elbow dimples, and baby giggles. This is one of my favorite ages to photograph and I always love our milestone sessions that showcase your baby’s budding personality and their new skills that they are oh-so-proud of.

Your baby’s first year is an absolute whirlwind — and time seems to go especially fast if it’s your second baby, like Xander is! During these sessions we slow down time for just a moment and document their personality and this beautiful stage they are in.

From sitting up to tummy time, there are so many options with these portraits. They are the perfect transition between the newborn session and the first birthday cake smash, and we personalize the colors to fit your family’s style and decor.

Wondering what your baby should wear for their milestone portraits?

Let me help you!

8 Month Milestone Portraits in our Saratoga Springs Baby Photography Studio

Miles joined me at our Saratoga Springs portrait studio for his milestone session, and I loved capturing these portraits of this adorable little guy! He is officially in the sitter stage and it is one of my favorite stages to photograph in baby’s first year —though by the time this blog post is published, he’ll likely be crawling and starting to chase after his big sister!

I love simple neutral outfits for babies, and these gray overalls and white rompers were perfect to keep the focus on Miles and his cute little expressions, baby rolls, and features! He was a happy little guy, and we captured so many sweet portraits of him that really showcase his personality and this stage of babyhood. I’m so happy to got that thumb-sucking portrait where he is grabbing his toes because it is perfectly, 100% baby!

Twinkle Lights and Peonies - A Beautiful Baby Milestone Session

It’s been quiet in the studio lately with everything going on with the COVID-19 pandemic, and I miss all of the regular baby cuddles and giggles that I normally get to enjoy every week! Thankfully I have a bunch of adorable sessions that still need to be shared, and this adorable baby girl tops the list this week!

Mia came to our Saratoga Springs portrait studio for her 5-month baby milestone session. We keep the focus on the baby for these portrait sessions with simple backdrops and colors to let her personality shine. I loved incorporating a hint of spring with some gorgeous florals and twinkle lights, too!

Mia is such a happy and smiley baby girl! I absolutely loved her session, and we captured so many unique expressions. This is one of my favorite ages to photograph, and this little girl absolutely rocked her session.

Classic Milestone Portraits for Baby Henri

We added a few new outfits to our studio’s Baby Wardrobe, and I was excited that Henri was the first baby to model them! This sweet boy enjoyed his six-month milestone session at the studio, and we captured so many gorgeous portraits of him.

He has such a serious and inquisitive gaze, but he could definitely break out into a smile and be 100% silly, too! This sweet boy was so much fun and he had us all laughing with his giggles!

At six months old, some babies are sitting up assisted, and others can sit on their own without any support. Some are comfortable on their tummies, and others prefer laying on their backs and playing with their toes. Every baby is different, which is what I love so much about these milestone sessions. We capture your little one just as they are, celebrating all of their recently acquired skills, smiles, and first teeth.

A Baby Milestone Portrait Session with Christmas Trees

Although it’s early January, we can share one last Christmas session on the blog, right?

I absolutely loved that this family chose to incorporate holiday lights & colors into their son’s milestone portraits, and we made it a whole family session to celebrate their little 6 month old!

Of course baby Ronan slept through the first part of the session, and these cozy family portraits are just so cute with him all curled up in his daddy’s arms!

Best of 2019 Milestone Sessions

As we continue our “Best of 2019” blog series, I’m excited to share our favorite milestone sessions from the year! I absolutely LOVE milestone sessions. As a photographer it is so hard to choose what my favorite type of session is, but I must say that milestones come close! This age is always one of the sweetest when babies are developing their personalities, smiling, reacting, and trying out new skills!

Scroll through and enjoy a look into some of my favorite milestone session moments from the studio & outdoors!

Poppy's Milestone Session at Yaddo in Saratoga Springs

Meet Poppy.

She’s two years old, filled with spunk, and such a joy to be around. She has the sweetest laugh, and her eyes twinkle when she smiles. She is an absolute chatterbox, and I was amazed at how well-spoken this sweet little girl was. We had such a great time during her milestone session at Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, and I loved getting to know her family while capturing these fall portraits for them.

Holiday Portraits for the Whole Family plus a 6 Month Milestone Session

When your baby turns 6 months at the same time as our annual holiday portrait event, you combine your family’s holiday portraits with a milestone session at the studio, of course!

I loved seeing this sweet family again, and I can’t even believe how much David has grown since his newborn session!

We did a few more casual sibling portraits on the studio bed so that they would have some photos to hang on their walls year-round, and then lots of individual portraits of the baby to focus on all of his new skills and his blossoming personality!

Carter's Milestone Portraits - A Sitter Session at our Saratoga Springs Portrait Studio

Does this little cutie look familiar? That’s because he’s one of our Baby Plan clients, and he had the cutest newborn session earlier this year! Do you remember the photo of him posing with his great-grandfather’s coal mining helmet? It was one of my favorite stories ever!
