A Baby’s First Year in Photos: Must-Have Milestones for Families in Delray Beach, Coral Springs & Broward County

Every parent wants to freeze time during that magical first year. From the first sleepy newborn cuddles to cake-covered giggles on their first birthday, professional milestone sessions are the perfect way to capture it all. If you’re a parent in Delray Beach, Coral Springs, or anywhere in Broward County, here’s your complete guide to photographing your baby’s biggest milestones.

Documenting your baby’s first year with timeless, professional photography helps you hold onto every detail—those tiny toes, gummy grins, and sleepy snuggles—forever. Here are the must-capture stages and tips to make the most of each session.

1. Newborn Session (5–14 Days Old)

The first two weeks are pure magic. Babies are usually extra sleepy and curled up, allowing us to create those iconic posed newborn portraits you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Sessions take place in my Deerfield Beach studio, where your little one will stay warm, cozy, and safely posed with soft wraps, delicate props, and timeless styling.

Popular with families from:

• Parkland

• Pompano Beach

• Coconut Creek

• Weston

2. Tummy Time / 3-Month Milestone

At this age, your baby is alert, starting to hold their head up, and showing off those amazing expressions. This is a short, sweet session filled with chubby cheeks, big eyes, and early personality.

3. Sitter Session (6–8 Months)

One of the most overlooked but absolutely adorable sessions! Around this age, babies can sit up unassisted and LOVE to smile. It’s the perfect window to capture curiosity and joy—especially in cozy, neutral setups or colorful spring backdrops for South Florida families.

Families in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Margate often book sitter sessions right after their newborn portraits.

4. First Birthday / Cake Smash (11–13 Months)

You’ve made it one whole year—and what better way to celebrate than with a messy, magical cake smash session? These sessions can be themed, styled to match your baby's personality, or kept minimalist and clean. I offer custom setups and a beautiful prep guide to help plan every detail.

Popular for:

• Cake smash photographer Boca Raton

• First birthday photoshoot Delray Beach

• Cake smash Coral Springs

• One-year-old portraits in Plantation
