There's something special about photographing a child through their first year. I've had the joy of capturing Kai's journey right here in Bunbury since he was just a few weeks old, starting with a cosy Christmas session when he was tiny enough to fit in a Santa sack, through a couple of sweet sessions in between, and now — his 8 month milestone session.

Eight months is such a fun stage to photograph. Kai has gone from a newborn to a little person with real opinions, a cheeky grin, and enough strength to sit up tall and reach for everything in sight. This session was all about capturing exactly who he is right now — because in a few short months, he'll be a completely different little human all over again.

Why Bunbury Families Love Milestone Sessions

If you've never booked a milestone session before, here's why so many Bunbury families are choosing them over one big, once-a-year shoot:

They're fast. Little ones have short attention spans, so these sessions are designed to be quick and relaxed — usually 15 to 20 minutes of shooting. No long, stressful studio marathons, just enough time to capture genuine smiles before nap time takes over.

They're affordable. Milestone sessions are priced to be booked again and again, so you can build a full library of your child's growth without breaking the budget. Have a look at my current specials for pricing.

They capture personality, not just poses. At 8 months, babies are bursting with character — the gummy grins, the concentrated frown when they're figuring something out, the delighted squeal when you play peekaboo. These sessions are built to catch those fleeting, true-to-them moments rather than stiff, posed portraits.

They tell a story over time. Looking back at Kai's Christmas session next to this one, the change is incredible. Milestone sessions, done every few months in the first year or two, create a beautiful timeline you'll treasure long after they're all grown up.
