6 Month Milestone Session | South Jersey Photographer

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a thousand times again, I absolutely LOVE when a client comes back to me and I get to watch their babies grow! It is my favorite part of this job, and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it.

Miss Layla came back to the studio last month for her 6 month sitter/milestone session and it was so much fun seeing her again! We also got some great shots of her and big sister, Juliet! Look at this fun comparison from 6 months ago until now!

A lot of people forget to document the 6 month age, they’ll book a newborn session and then a smash cake session at one year, but forget about all the fun milestones in between! DONT miss this session! 6 months is so much fun to capture because your baby’s personality is really starting to come out and we capture ALLLL the smiles! You’d be surprised how much they can change in just those 6 months between 6-12 months!

If you’re thinking of capturing your baby’s 6 month photos, lets chat about options! Our grow with me plan allows you to capture every milestone at a discounted price so you never miss a session!

Why you should consider booking a Mini Session | New Jersey Newborn and Portrait Photographer

Benefits of a Mini Session vs a Full Session

I LOVE meeting new families and connecting with my clients. Hanging out and making memories with my clients is one of the best parts of my job! One of my favorite ways to meet new clients is through mini sessions! Now, lets start off with what is a mini session?

Mini Sessions are about 15-20 minutes typically at a set location on a specific date (usually back to back) and include a small amount of digital images with their price. While it may seem like you are not getting a lot out of these sessions, I truly believe that mini sessions serve a special purpose and have a special place in my heart. Here’s a few reasons why—

1. They’re more affordable! Its no secret that life is EXPENSIVE these days and while I wish I could lower my prices for everyone, thats just not feasible. Full sessions are priced appropriately in order for photographers to make a livable wage and cover their costs, but we understand that it could be out of budget for some— so thats why mini sessions could be a great alternative to fit your budget while still being able to capture your beautiful family memories.

2. They’re quick! Quick sessions are great for a few reasons - Little kiddos have such a short attention span that sometimes a full hour is too much! A 20 minute session is the perfect amount of time for your kiddos to have some fun, get some snuggles and be done before throwing a fit to leave. And do not be fooled, you can get A LOT of images in this short amount of time. Your photographer will snap away and you will be shocked at how many amazing photos can come from these sweet sessions. Another great thing about these quick sessions is that they won’t take too much time out of your day. If you have something else going on that day, it can be pretty easy to squeeze these in super quick without throwing your whole day off!

3. They’re great for those who just want a few photos While having a whole gallery to choose from is great for most sessions, certain times you may only just want a couple photos for a holiday card, or to print on your wall. You might not always need a full gallery of images (although it can be SO hard to choose), so these are perfect for those situations!

4. They’re a great way to meet your photographer Sometimes it can be nice to meet and work with your photographer before full committing to a full session. Seeing how they interact with you and getting a taste of the experience will have you itching to come back!! ;)

So what do you think?? Whether you choose to book a full session or a mini session, I can’t wait to create beautiful memories for you and your family! If you’re still unsure about which option is best for you, reach out and we can chat!
