Corona Baby Photographer | Capturing Milestones: A Heartfelt Toddler Photoshoot with Ben

August 30, 2024 Amy Dawnelle

Every year, like clockwork, Ben and his parents arrive at my Murrieta studio for his milestone photoshoot. I've been photographing Ben since he was a sleepy little newborn, and it's been such a joy to watch him grow up right before my lens. Now, at three years old, Ben is a ball of energy and personality, and I look forward to our annual photoshoot more than I can express.

As a baby photographer, nothing brings me more joy than capturing the milestones of these little ones. And with Ben, it's always a blast. The moment he walks into my portrait studio in Murrieta, he’s already on the move—dancing, spinning, and jumping on every posing prop he can find. He’s a total ham, and I absolutely love it!

During this year’s session, we started with some classic shots, but it quickly turned into one of our usual playful sessions. Ben couldn’t resist climbing on the wooden boxes, turning it into his personal stage. He performed the cutest little dance, and I was there to capture every twirl and jump. Those moments—his wide smile, the glint of excitement in his eyes—are the ones that make baby photography so special.

We moved around the photo studio, trying out different props and backdrops, and every new setup brought out a different side of Ben. Whether he was dancing or striking a silly pose, each shot was filled with pure joy. That’s what I love most about baby photoshoots—they’re not just about getting the perfect shot; they’re about capturing the essence of a child’s personality at that moment in time.

Ben’s mom and I always chat during the sessions, sharing laughs and stories about his latest antics. It’s in these conversations that I’m reminded of how important these photos are—not just for today but for the future. These images are a celebration of Ben’s growth, a way to freeze time and hold onto the memories of his childhood.

Why Milestone Photography Matters

As a mother of three myself, I know how quickly time flies. One minute you’re rocking them to sleep, and the next, they’re off to college. That’s why baby photography is so important. These sessions are not just about taking pictures—they’re about creating memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Every year, when Ben comes in for his photoshoot, we’re capturing another chapter in his story, a story that his family will treasure forever.
