Baby milestone client closet for Tina Krafts Photography | Washington D.C. baby photographer

BABY MILESTONE CLIENT CLOSET

 

Did you know that, in addition to photographing newborns in their first few weeks of life, I additionally offer baby portrait sessions for babies of all ages, and that I also have a carefully curated baby milestone client closet that is available for my clients’ use?  On that note,  I have finally had an opportunity to photograph most of my baby milestone client closet, so if you would like to see all of the adorable offerings for your little ones, you can click here, or go to the “Details” tab on my website homepage.  Trust me,  you should go check it out – there are so many darling little outfits (because, honestly, I’m a bit *too* obsessed with buying cute baby clothes)!  These are just a few examples of some of the pieces I have procured from boutiques and vendors all over the world.

As you will see in the milestone wardrobe gallery, my collection includes both neutral tones and a plethora of colors, and I have an equal number of backdrops to match.  And, as my baby milestone portrait sessions are approximately an hour in length, clients are not limited to a single outfit or color choice for their portraits, allowing for a significant variety of images.  And, just as with my newborn portrait sessions, I customize baby portrait sessions to reflect my clients’ vision, preferences, and specific requests.  Thus, portraits can be as simple as your little one on a solid color backdrop, emphasizing purely baby, such as in these images.

Or sessions might include seasonal elements or themes that reflect baby’s or parents’ personal interests.  (See sample images below.) I also often incorporate props, blankets, or toys that are meaningful to my little clients or their families.  Regardless of whether a milestone session includes a simple backdrop or a more elaborate theme, or whether the session includes zero or 20 props and accessories,  however, my primary objective in a baby portrait session is to capture those newly developing and precious baby expressions and skills.  Babies grow and change SO fast in their first year of life. Their impossibly tiny fingers and toes get bigger, their hair grows, and their first tiny teeth make an appearance.

Photographing milestones allows us to create a visual record of your baby’s growth and development, while simultaneously capturing his or her unique personality. Milestone sessions document the essence of who your baby is at different stages— his or her quirky expressions, curious gazes, and joyful reactions, a representation of your child’s unique character and spirit.

    Hi all!  As many of you who follow my blog have little ones at home (or are expecting little ones), I wanted to share this baby product safety recall with you.  More details are below, but the primary concern is a potential shock hazard from the power adapter if the plastic housing for the adapter comes off.  Hatch will replace your power adapter for free.

      DC newborn photographer | Spring baby portraits

      This little beauty was just over 2 weeks old when she came to see me for her newborn portraits (her incredibly sweet family drove almost an hour to have me take her newborn photos — I am so honored!).    As you will see from the images we captured, she was such a perfect little dream during her session; she gave us some of the most perfect expressions, including one of the cutest newborn smiles I have seen.  (I also adored her “what are you talking about, photographer lady” expression in the penultimate image I shared below.)
      Because this sweetheart was born in the Spring, we decided to incorporate both some springlike pastel colors and some floral accents.  Which image is your favorite?

        Newborn with big sister and parents | Washington DC newborn photographer

        Although every one of my newborn sessions is special, nothing makes my heart sing more than when my newborn clients return to me to photograph their second, third, or fourth child!  I truly view it as such an honor, and I just *love* seeing “my babies” all grown up and embracing their new roles as big sisters and big brothers.  Now that I have been in business for 10 years, I have had the wonderfully good fortune of photographing so many repeat clients in the past several years, including the lovely family featured here!  As you can see from the images below, this beautiful big sister just adores her little brother, and is so incredibly sweet with him. (Be sure to scroll through the images to the end, where you can find a photo of big sister as a newborn.)

        Another aspect that I loved about this session for my returning clients was that, at mom and dad’s request, we incorporated some elements that were similar to those we used in their daughter’s newborn session.  For example, we used a lot of neutral tones, and we included various star-themed images.  (This little guy’s nursery has a moon and stars theme so, naturally, I had to photograph him in a moon prop as well. :))  We even captured some photos of the two siblings in the same cozy angora outfit!

        It was such a delight for me to see this sweet family again, and I wish their growing family every happiness!

          Did you know we offer custom pet portraits at Tina Krafts Photography?
Because pets are family. Our furry babies are woven into our routines, our memories, and our hearts. They give us unconditional love, comfort on hard days, and joy in the quiet moments. A portrait session is a way to honor that bond, capturing their personality and the place they hold in our lives. Because family deserves to be remembered, paws and all. 🐾❤️

          I was SO excited to meet this absolutely perfect little guy earlier this week! I have known his mama for almost two decades, and I just adore her and her entire super sweet family. 
Congratulations, Z family - soooo happy for you!! ❤️
          It is such a privilege to have a job that allows me to meet the sweetest families and help them capture those first wondrous weeks with their new little one! 

This little guy is clearly surrounded by love. ❤️ I think you can tell from this image how much his big sister adores him, can't you? So sweet!
          Hope everyone is staying safe and warm today! How much snow did you get where you live?  We haven’t seen a plow yet, so I’m just hunkered down today doing some editing and prepping for sessions this week.

This little guy was one of my first newborns of 2026 - he was the absolute sweetest, and had the *best* expressions! Isn’t he the cutest?! 💚
