Your baby's first year is filled with incredible moments that pass far too quickly.
One day they're curled up peacefully in your arms, and before you know it, they're smiling, sitting independently, crawling, taking their first steps, and celebrating their very first birthday.

These milestones happen in the blink of an eye, but the memories don't have to fade.
At Eva Magaña Photography, we specialize in creating timeless baby milestone and first birthday portraits that celebrate every stage of your little one's incredible first year. Through a personalized luxury portrait experience, we transform these fleeting moments into heirloom artwork your family will treasure for generations.

Many of our families begin their journey with maternity or newborn portraits and continue documenting each milestone throughout their baby's first year. Watching families return again and again as their children grow is one of the greatest joys of what we do.

For more than 22 years, families throughout San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country have trusted Eva to beautifully preserve these once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Located in our beautiful 1,700-square-foot studio in North San Antonio, we proudly serve families throughout Stone Oak, Boerne, Bulverde, Spring Branch, New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Fair Oaks Ranch, Garden Ridge, Shavano Park, The Dominion, Austin, and surrounding Texas communities.

One of the greatest joys of our studio is watching families grow year after year.

Many of our clients reserve their baby's milestone sessions during their newborn appointment, allowing us to thoughtfully plan and document each exciting stage of the first year.  By planning ahead, you'll have peace of mind knowing your baby's most important milestones are already reserved on our calendar, ensuring you never miss the opportunity to preserve these fleeting moments.

Many families choose to document:
-Newborn
-6-Month Milestone
-First Birthday (Some families include a mini family session with the first birthday/cake smash session).  

Some families also choose to include 3-month or 9-month sessions, creating a beautiful collection that tells the complete story of their baby's incredible first year.
Because availability is limited, we encourage families to reserve milestone sessions several months in advance whenever possible.

The first year is filled with unforgettable moments, each one deserving to be celebrated.

Popular milestone sessions include:
3 Month Portraits
Sweet expressions, growing awareness, and those first beautiful smiles.
6-7 Month Sitter Sessions
One of our favorite stages! Sitting independently, curious personalities, adorable expressions, and endless smiles.
9 Month Milestones
Crawling, standing, exploring, and showing off an amazing personality.
First Birthday Portraits/Cake Smash Sessions
Celebrate one of life's biggest milestones with timeless portraits that commemorate your baby's very first birthday. Cake smash sessions are a joyful, playful way to celebrate turning one with a custom-designed set that reflects your family's style.

Many of our families return throughout the first year, creating a timeless collection of portraits that beautifully tells the story of their baby's journey.

First Birthday Portraits

Your baby's first birthday is one of the biggest milestones your family will ever celebrate.  Whether you envision classic portraits, a beautifully styled birthday session, or a fun cake smash experience, we'll create a personalized session that captures your little one's personality while preserving memories your family will treasure forever.

Every first birthday session begins with a planning consultation (in-person or over the phone) where we'll discuss colors, styling, wardrobe, set design, and the artwork you'd love to display in your home.  This milestone only happens once, and it deserves to be celebrated beautifully.
