Commemorate 12 Months of Milestones with the Babies By Jackie Milestone Photography Experience York, Leeds, Harrogate, Hull

Babies grow and change so quickly in their first year, from tiny sleepy bundles, to smiling, laughing, crawling and playing, and sometimes on to walking and talking.

Our Milestones Sessions are perfect to capture each progression.

What is a Milestone Session?

These sessions are designed to capture those all important developmental milestones through the first year, for example, laughing for the first time, sitting unaided, crawling, standing, perhaps even walking.

Many families book a 'sitter session' for around 6 months old and then a 'first birthday session' for 11-12 months, but you can choose to capture as many of these big moments as you like.

At your Consultation Appointment you and your baby will meet Jackie, tour the studio, choose your favourite colours and props from our selection, consider how you will display your final art pieces, and book your milestone photo session(s).

What to expect from a Milestone Session

As babies and young children can have short attention spans Jackie keeps 'Milestone' photo sessions short and sweet. The sessions last no more than an hour and take place in our beautiful studio in Hemingbrough, where we have everything we need to keep you and your baby comfortable.

We will plan the styling for your photo shoot at your Consultation Appointment, so when you arrive everything will be ready for you.

In addition to beautiful portraits of your baby, we will also include some updated Family Portraits!

HOW OLD SHOULD MY BABY BE FOR A MILESTONE SESSION?

Our milestone photo sessions suit babies of any age from 3-12 months. The most popular sessions are:

- Awake / Tummy Session (around 3-4 months)

- Sitter / Crawler Session (around 6-8 months)

- Standing / Walking Session (around 12 months)

(Every child will develop at their own pace, so these ages are just a guideline).

Do I have to BOOK THREE MILESTONE SESSIONS?

The images from our milestone sessions are a beautiful record of the huge changes your baby will go through in their first year. They are booked as individual sessions so you can tailor them to suit your family. You can book as many as you like!

CAN I BOOK A CAKE SMASH FOR MY BABY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY?

Of course! I mean, what's a birthday without cake?

Our Smash & Splash add-on is the perfect accessory to your baby's twelve month milestone session: a bespoke balloon arch backdrop, a birthday cake for your baby to smash, eat, and get messy with; then a little clean up in my cute tin bath and lots of splashing.

FOLLOWING YOUR SESSION

Your ordering appointment will be booked at the end of your photo session.

At your ordering appointment you will select your favourite images and choose how you want to display them from our range of beautiful, hand-crafted wall art pieces, prints and albums from the world's best suppliers.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY APPOINTMENT?

Milestone sessions usually take place on a Saturday, and appointment slots do fill fast, so we recommend contacting the studio to reserve your appointment at least a month in advance.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The milestone session fee is £100, with products starting at £150 and collections from £690. The Smash and Splash add-on is £100. See our Pricing page for more information.

DO YOU OFFER GIFT VOUCHERS?

Yes! A milestone photo session makes the perfect gift, perhaps as a Christmas, birthday, Mothers Day or Fathers Day present.

We also offer gift vouchers in any amount over £50 to be put towards any of our products or sessions.
