Baby looking at camera during 3 month milestone portraits.

3 month milestone portraits

I’m so excited to share these 3 month milestone portraits with you today. This little sweetie is part of my First-Year Collection Collective and this is his first session with me!

You must be wondering, what is your First-Year Collection Collective? It’s a photo session package that gives you complete flexibility and control to best fit your family. Within the first 18 months, you simply select which milestones you would like to capture.

An inside studio perfect for the winter

On this occasion, since it was still snowing outside, we picked a perfect location inside for his 3 month milestone portraits. Many clients like to take advantage of the Minneapolis natural light studio in the winter.

In reality, it’s an easy alternative to having the session in your home or bundling up for outside.

I loved the simplicity and fun of this 3 month milestone portraits session. In this case, Mom chose the perfect outfits for the family by keeping the clothing simple and the focus on the baby.

Oftentimes, bright colors and bold patterns can consequently take away from the focus of the portrait – which is your family. Given these points, I have free resources to help. Head over to my Pinterest to see boards that will help inspire and guide you.

Favorite photo with special moment

On this occasion, one of my very favorites is when he is in a simple white onesie and mom is holding him. During this moment she’s soaking it all in. The snuggles, the smell of her baby boy and all the love she has for him.

All in all, a really special moment that I’m delighted that is included in the 3 month milestone portraits.

Future milestone sessions

Later this summer I will be seeing this family of three again for their second session, which will be outdoors. I am already loving the variety of locations that will be included in his First-Year Collection Collective.

Lastly, scroll down to enjoy some of my favorites from the 3 month milestone portraits in the natural light studio.
