Austin Texas Milestone Sessions

These milestone sessions capture the fleeting stages of your child’s early years — from first smiles to first birthdays and beyond. Designed for babies and toddlers up to age four, each session highlights the wonder, joy, and personality that make this season so special.

Baby's First Year Beyond Captured by Austin Newborn Photography


At Austin Newborn Photography, we understand just how quickly babies grow and change. That's why we offer a variety of milestone portrait sessions to help you document your baby's first year and beyond. From tummy time to sitter sessions to crawler sessions and a celebratory cake smash, our team is here to capture all of the important milestones along the way.


Our tummy time sessions, held between 3-5 months, are a great way to capture your baby's facial expressions and early movements as they start to lift their head and support themselves. During the sitter sessions, held between 6-8 months, we'll capture your baby's cute smiles and giggles as they begin to sit up and interact with the world around them. The crawler sessions, held around 9 months, highlight your baby's newfound mobility and adventurous spirit. And finally, the one year cake smash is a fun and messy way to celebrate your baby's first birthday and the end of their first year.


But our services don't stop there. We also offer older baby sessions upon request, and are happy to provide a cake smash session for your little one up to 3 years of age. Whether you're looking to document your baby's first year or their toddler years, our team is here to help you capture these special moments and create lasting memories.


So why wait? Let Austin Newborn Photography help you document your baby's growth and milestones beyond their first year. Contact us today to schedule your session and preserve these precious memories for years to come.


We also, upon request, book older baby sessions. We will happily photography a cake smash session for your little one's up to 3 years. Just contact us for more information.
