(Carson Valley Baby, Child & Family Photographer)

Life moves fast, and some moments are simply too special to let slip away. Milestone photography sessions are all about celebrating both the big and small moments in your journey—from your baby’s first year to birthday portraits, school milestones, and beyond. Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy mini milestone session or a full adventure photo experience, Sage River Photography has options for every milestone.

What Is a Milestone Photography Session?

A milestone session is a professional photoshoot designed to honor special moments in life. From baby milestone sessions during the first year to birthdays, school achievements, and personal celebrations, these sessions give you timeless, beautiful images to look back on.

✔️ Mini & Petite Sessions are perfect for quick updates, announcements, or yearly portraits.

✔️ Adventure Milestone Sessions turn your milestone into an unforgettable experience at a location that reflects your story and style.

First-Year Baby Milestone Photography

Your baby’s first year is filled with so many changes! From their first giggle to first steps, these priceless moments deserve to be documented with love and care.

3 Months – The Personality Phase

Capture bright eyes, smiles, and early interactions—perfect for your baby’s 3-month milestone photos.

6 Months – Sitting Up & Full of Expression

Six-month-old babies are often sitting independently and full of joy. A perfect stage for 6-month baby milestone photography!

9 Months – Standing with Support

Babies around 9 months are more mobile and curious. This milestone is packed with personality and movement—great for fun and candid portraits.
