Toddlers: 24 Months+

How often do you get LO's pictures taken?

I know in the first year we all get crazy snapping photos and then time seems so get in the way. I got my DS's photos taken at 3 mos., xmas 9 mos. and 15 mos(family photo). I am now going to wait awhile. What are your time lines for getting your LO's photos done?

Re: How often do you get LO's pictures taken?

  • I did every 3 months the first year, every 6 months the second year, and now plan to get family pics once a year around LO's b-day.

  • My sister is a photographer, so really whenever I want or if she gets new props she likes to use the girls for them.  If I didn't have her, then I would just do once a year after the first year.

  • We did professional pictures for newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year (which was also Christmas, we did 2 separate shoots).  I think I intended to take him at 18 months also, but didn't.  I didn't do a Christmas session this year because LO#2 will be here in a few weeks and he will have his 2 year photos done with her newborn photos.

  • My boys have spring birthdays 1.5 months apart.  We get pics taken then.  We also get another smaller session for fall or our holiday card.

     this! ... newborn, 3 mos, 6 mos, 9 mos, 1 yr, 18 mos, 2 yr and now 2.5. The only reason we did 18 mos and 2.5 is because it happens to fall in November when we have our Christmas portraits done.

  • I've never had them professionally done, but I take a lot of pictures, and average ~150 pics a month worth posting online.

  • We do them twice a year.  Near his spring birthday and then for holidays so it ends up about 6 months apart. Baby 2 is due a month after DS's birthday so it'll be easy to keep the same general timing each year.

  • We've done newborn, 6 months, 1 year. And then 2 year & newborn for DD2, 2.5 & 6 months, 3 year & 1 year. From now on we're only doing annual pictures right around the girls' birthdays.

  • What I've done is pictures for her birthday, our holiday card family photo and then I take her to Sears at Halloween to get her in her costume. I mostly do this because my MIL makes DDs costumes.


  • Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, and then every year.

  • I did newborn pix and then every year in the fall we do an outdoor shoot w a photographer so we get great pix of the kids and family shots and use them for holiday cards. I take a lot of photos myself and have a decent camera tho I am not super skilled but I always get some that turn out well to share.
  • We did newborn pics in the hospital (a nice surprise provided by the maternity ward!), family shots at one year, and just did in-home pro shots by a friend for Christmas. DD is a Valentine's baby, so we will do two year pics in a few weeks. I think we will keep doing birthday pics once a year, and I love our photographer friend so we will do holidays with her from now on, too.

    Otherwise, it's all iPhone pics :)
