You should make a list of milestones for classic portraits to capture the key moments of your child’s life. These make for some of the best and most important photos in your child’s life. You want to be sure that you capture all these milestones so that you don't rue missing out on them and lament being a careless parent. These are precious moments that will never come back. Only photos can save them so that you cherish them for life. So, you should be well prepared for these milestones.

Newborn

The most important moment in your baby’s life? The birthday of course. Take photos of the newborn alone and together with parents and grandparents.

First Smile

Your baby will have a lovely smile within a few months of being born. Don't miss out on these innocent heartwarming smiles. That toothless charming, adorable smile will be best in their entire lifetime. So, stay ready and start snapping when it finally happens.

First Teeth

You should also take photos when the first tooth appears. That always makes for an exceptional smile.

Sitting, Crawling and Walking

These are some of the most special moments in your baby’s development so make sure that you catch ‘em all. You will be glad you did not miss out on them.

Sitting for the first time, the first few faltering crawls and first unsteady steps are heartwarming special moments. Just make sure that another adult is close by for the baby’s safety.

First Day At School

Starting school marks a new chapter in your child’s life. So, get it on reel or the digital camera if that’s your thing.

Every Year

Ideally you should take pictures every year of your growing kids to record their changing looks, growth, and height.

Take loads of pictures especially on birthdays, special occasions, and class promotions.

Senior Photos

Senior photos are so vital since they show your child transitioning into adult life and becoming a grown up. You can appreciate how quickly your sweetheart has grown up suddenly.

From babbling babies to dating champs. Now that's a mind-blowing change if you think about it.

Graduation

Graduation of any sort be it high school, college or postgraduate is always an important milestone to record.

There are other milestones that you would like to record like marriage and of course when YOU finally become grandparents.
