The Baby's First Year Program is a series of portrait sessions designed to capture every milestone of your baby's first year — from newborn snuggles to first birthday cake smash. Instead of one standalone session, you get a beautifully consistent collection of portraits that tells the full story of your baby's growth, personality, and the love surrounding them.

It's one of the most meaningful series of sessions I offer, and clients who do it consistently tell me it's among their most treasured keepsakes.

The program includes four milestone sessions:

• Newborn Session (first 2 weeks) — every tiny detail, preserved

• 3-Month Session — first smiles and a personality beginning to bloom

• 6-Month Session (Sitter Session) — sitting up, exploring, and chubby-cheeked joy; includes extended family up to 6 members

• 1-Year Session with Cake Smash — a full celebration of your baby's first trip around the sun

• Optional Maternity Session (28–34 weeks) — celebrating the anticipation

During your second trimester — ideally between 20 and 28 weeks. This ensures you're secured for the maternity and newborn sessions (which need to be timed carefully), and gives us plenty of time to plan your experience. The program fee is paid in full before your first session. But don’t worry if you’re past your 28 weeks! You can sign up just before your newborn session if you prefer to skip your maternity session.

Both programs include all program sessions, priority booking, 10% off prints and products throughout the program, and a complimentary 12×36" framed wall art piece at the conclusion of the program.

• Classic — $1,250 (valued at $1,850): Includes all sessions and print credits toward images and products after each session.

• Premium — $3,150 (valued at $5,225): Everything in Classic, plus an 8” custom-designed containing 20 of your favorite images, plus the 20 corresponding digital images from eachsession.

Both are extraordinary investments in memories that will only grow more precious with time.

The Classic Program is $1,250 (a value of $1,850) and the Premium Program is $3,150 (a value of $5,225). The program fee is paid in full before your first session — after that, you only invest in the images you love after each session.

Payment plans are available for print and product purchases.

No need to worry — we build flexibility into the program from the start. Newborn sessions are scheduled around your actual due date and confirmed once baby arrives. If baby comes early or runs a bit late, we simply adjust. The whole program is designed around your baby's real milestones, not a rigid calendar. Just let me know and we'll make it work beautifully.

That’s okay. If you are still pregnant and would like to have your maternity portraits done, we will get you booked right away. We’ve done maternity portraits the day before the baby came! If you missed that window and your baby is born, that is okay too! The Maternity session is optional. The program fee is based on the four sessions from Newborn through the first year.

The ideal timeframe for a newborn session is typically within the first 10 days. However, you can have newborn portraits done up to a month or so after baby is born. The poses may change, but the experience does not.
