Your little one is growing faster than you can believe — one day they’re learning to crawl, the next they’re off to kindergarten, and before you know it, they’re too big for piggyback rides. Every stage of childhood is a milestone worth remembering, and at Kiwi Kids Photography, we love helping families capture those precious moments that tell your child’s story.

Why Milestone Portraits Matter

Milestone portraits aren’t just about cute smiles and adorable outfits (though we definitely love those, too). They’re about freezing a moment in time — the missing front tooth, the birthday crown, the favorite stuffed animal that never leaves their side. These are the memories you’ll look back on years from now and think, “How were they ever that little?”

A milestone portrait session is a beautiful way to document growth, personality, and joy. And when you see these portraits displayed on your wall or in an album, you’ll be reminded daily of how special these years truly are.

Our Current Milestone Portrait Special

Right now, we’re making it easier than ever to capture your child’s milestone moments!

✨ No session fee for in-studio milestone portraits.
✨ Or, enjoy ½ off the session fee for an outdoor child session or when you include your child in a family portrait.

Whether you prefer the classic charm of a studio portrait or the natural beauty of an outdoor setting, we’ll help you create timeless images you’ll treasure for years.

Let’s Make Memories Together

We know how quickly life moves when you’re raising kids — but these are the moments that deserve to be remembered. Let’s slow time down for just a little while and capture your child’s story in portraits that will make you smile for decades.

Good news, y’all: our Family Portrait Session Fee is 1/2 off — just $125 (regularly $250) for a limited time. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to update the wall gallery or prep your holiday cards, this is it.

Why fall in SA is the sweet spot

San Antonio’s fall brings softer light, warm golden grass, and those subtle Hill Country hues. Think mesquite greens, sun-baked limestone, and sunset oranges—perfect backdrops that make rich, cozy colors pop without clashing.

What to wear: color palettes that work

Here are foolproof combos that photograph beautifully against our local landscapes:

  • Deep Blues + Neutrals
    Navy, indigo, denim washes paired with black and grey layers create a timeless, polished look that flatters every skin tone.

  • “Fall Blood Red” + Jeans
    A saturated, wine/cranberry red top with classic denim is bold, seasonal, and stunning in golden-hour light. Balance with charcoal, tan, or ivory layers.

  • Burnt Orange + Jeans
    Muted rusts and coppers harmonize with oak and limestone. Add greys or denim jackets to ground the palette.

  • Black & Grey (with Texture)
    Monochrome never misses—just mix textures (knit, denim, suede) so the camera has dimension to play with.

Tip: Keep everyone in the same color story (shared tones and textures), not the same outfit. Coordinated > matching.

Western? Let’s ride.

If you’re feeling Texas-chic, lean into it:

  • Boots & Cowboy Hats: Go for clean, well-fitted pieces. Hats should be shaped and lint-free; boots conditioned.

  • Denim-on-denim works when washes vary.

  • Add turquoise or silver accents to tie looks together without stealing the show.

Styles & accessories for women (camera-approved)

  • Silhouettes: Midi dresses, tailored blouses with jeans, wrap or A-line styles that move. Avoid clingy ultra-thin jersey.

  • Layers: Cardigans, denim/leather jackets, structured blazers—layers add shape and depth.

  • Accessories: Simple hoops, stacked bracelets, a single statement necklace, or a silk scarf. If you choose a bold lip (cranberry/red), keep eye makeup soft and matte.

  • Footwear: Block-heel boots or sleek flats—comfortable enough to walk on grass.

  • Patterns: Keep them subtle (small florals, micro-checks). If one person wears a print, let others stay solid.

Pulling the whole family together

  • Choose 2–3 core colors (e.g., navy, grey, burnt orange) and 1 accent (blood red or metallic).

  • Mix solids + small patterns + texture (knit, suede, denim).

  • Keep logos minimal and avoid neon—bright fluorescents cast color onto skin.

Quick prep checklist

  • Steam outfits the day before, pack lint rollers and hair pins.

  • Empty pockets (no phone outlines or key bulges).

  • For little ones: backup tops and a small snack that won’t stain.

  • Plan hats/hair early—brim shadows are real; we’ll pose to keep eyes bright.

The offer (limited slots)

  • Session Fee: $125 (normally $250)

  • Perfect for: wall art, holiday cards, gifts, and updated head-to-toe family portraits

  • Booking is first-come, first-served during peak fall color.

If you’d like, tell us your palette (Blues/Black/Grey, Blood Red + Jeans, or Burnt Orange + Jeans—or Western!) and we’ll style the rest.

This season, the trend is all about rustic tones, natural textures, and artful displays. Think golden light filtering through oak trees, cozy layers of earthy fabrics, and the kind of portraits that don’t just sit in the cloud, but become part of your home.

The Class of 2026 is ready to step into the spotlight, and senior portraits are no longer just about “smile at the camera and hope for the best.” They’re about telling your story, capturing your vibe, and creating images you’ll still love 20 years from now. Whether you’re going for timeless elegance, bold creativity, or something totally outside the box, here are the top trends taking senior portraits to the next level this year.


1. Personalized Themes That Tell Your Story

Gone are the days of cookie-cutter backgrounds. Seniors are bringing props, outfits, and locations that show off their passions.
🎓 Love music? Bring your guitar or your band hoodie.
⚽ Soccer star? Let’s hit the field with your jersey and game ball.
🎨 Artist? Your portraits can be as creative as your canvas.
Your photos should scream you, not generic senior picture.


2. Editorial & Magazine-Inspired Looks

Think Vogue meets yearbook. High-fashion poses, bold lighting, and stylized outfits are making their way into senior portraits. Oversized blazers, monochrome fits, dramatic backdrops—if it looks like it belongs in a glossy magazine, it’s in.


3. Nature Is Back (But Make It Cinematic)

Outdoor portraits are timeless, but the 2026 spin is all about cinematic tones and moody lighting. Golden hour is king, and even cloudy days can bring an atmospheric look. Parks, wildflower fields, and even gritty urban alleyways are serving major main-character energy.


4. Retro Revival

From vintage cars to thrift-store finds, retro-inspired portraits are hot right now. The ‘70s warm tones, ‘90s grunge, and early 2000s Y2K vibes are all making appearances. Bonus points for retro sunglasses or Polaroid-style edits.


5. Multiple Outfit Changes = Multiple Vibes

Why choose between sporty, glam, and casual when you can have all three? Outfit variety is the easiest way to give your final gallery range and personality.


6. Creative Editing & Filters

Light flares, double exposure, black-and-white drama—edits are becoming part of the art form. Many seniors are asking for both clean, classic images and a set with bold, creative effects.


7. Legacy Pieces for the Future

Senior portraits are an investment, and 2026 grads are leaning toward products they can keep forever—framed wall portraits, heirloom albums, and high-quality prints. A digital gallery is nice, but holding your senior portrait in your hands? That’s next-level.


🎉 Bonus: August & September Special

If you book your Class of 2026 senior portraits in August or September, your session fee is completely waived—whether you choose a studio session or on-location shoot. That’s more budget for outfits, hair, makeup… or those epic wall portraits your parents will brag about forever.
