​Q: What age is best for baby milestone photos?

A: Milestone sessions are most popular between 3–12 months old. Common ages include:

• 3–4 months (first smiles and tummy time)

• 6–8 months (sitting independently)

• 9–12 months (crawling, standing, and personality-filled expressions)

 

​Q: When should I book a baby milestone photography session?

A: I recommend booking your baby milestone session at least 1–2 months in advance to ensure availability around your ideal session date.

 

​Q: How long does a baby milestone session last?

A: Most milestone sessions usually last between 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your baby’s mood, outfit changes, and session milestone.

 

​Q: What should my baby wear for milestone photos?

A: Simple, neutral outfits photograph best and help keep the focus on your baby’s expressions and personality. Soft textures, earthy tones, and timeless pieces work beautifully.

 

​Q: Do you provide outfits or props for milestone sessions?

A: Yes. Tyler Bannister Photography offers a curated collection of simple props, blankets, seating, and age-appropriate styling pieces to complement your session naturally.

 

​Q: Can parents and siblings be included in baby milestone photos?

A: Absolutely. Parent and sibling photos can be included at the beginning of the milestone session. Please let me know when booking that you'd like to be included and have some timeless family portraits captured. This will take around 10-15 minutes of your total session time so not to tired your baby out before they take centre stage. 

 

​Q: What if my baby is shy, fussy, or doesn’t cooperate?

A: That’s completely normal. Milestone sessions are relaxed and baby-led where I capture what your baby allows me to. Some of the best images come from natural interactions and genuine expressions.

 

​Q: Where do milestone photography sessions take place?

A: Milestone sessions with Tyler Bannister Photography take place in my studio in Coventry. 

 

​Q: What is the best age for sitting milestone photos?

A: Around 6–8 months is ideal for sitter milestone sessions, when babies can usually sit independently but are not yet constantly on the move.

 

​Q: What if my baby can’t sit independently yet?

A: That’s perfectly okay. Every baby develops differently, and sessions are tailored around your child’s comfort and abilities. It might be that you wait a little longer until they can sit or you might decide to capture them just as they are at their current developmental stage. 

 

​Q: How soon will we receive our baby milestone photos?

A: Your soft-edited newborn preview gallery is delivered within 1 week after your session. Once you have selected your image package and payment has been received, your final gallery will be ready within 2 weeks for download, printing, and sharing.

 

​Q: Can I book multiple baby milestone sessions throughout my baby’s first year?

A: Yes. Many families book multiple baby milestone sessions to document their baby’s incredible growth throughout the first year. Have a look at Baby's First Year Bundle session which includes a total of 3 sessions (Newborn Full, 1 x Baby Milestone, and Cake Smash).
