Can we just take a moment to talk about how special 9 month milestone sessions are? My most booked sessions are 1st birthday photoshoots, followed closely by child and newborn sessions—but 9 months out? It’s such a special age that deserves its own celebration!

Think about it: babies spend 9 months growing in the womb, so celebrating 9 months out is a beautiful full-circle moment. It’s that sweet in-between phase where their little personalities are really shining. They’re sitting, crawling, waving, babbling—and it’s all just too cute for words!

This gorgeous baby girl has been in front of my camera since she was a newborn, and getting to see her now—waving, crawling, and saying “hi” and “buh-bye”—was the cutest thing ever. She’s clearly trying her best to keep up with her four adoring older siblings, who were more than happy to jump in for some sibling shots.

If you’re thinking about booking photos for your little one, don’t skip the 9 month milestone. These are the moments that go by way too fast—and I promise, you’ll be so glad you documented them.
