Baby's First Year
The whole first year,
held forever.
Your baby will change more this year than any other.
In-home sessions across your baby’s first year, designed for families who want more than a single milestone captured but the feeling of the whole season preserved. The quiet newborn days. The emerging personality. The way your home holds it all.
Preserved as a cohesive collection of photographs, or as a cinematic video you’ll press play on for decades.
WATCH THEM GROW RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES
A single newborn session is beautiful.
The entire year is something else.
Instead of thumbing through thousands of phone photos and videos looking for glimpses of them at their littlest–let’s keep those memories safe.
Before long your kiddo will be looking back in gleeful disbelief, seeing who they were not so long ago. When they could only babble and wiggle and snuggle you.
Multiple sessions across one year, in your home, with the same photographer who knows your family. The story builds on itself in a way a single session never could.
HOW IT WORKS
Choose from these important milestones - maternity through 18 months
-
The quiet, expectant weeks before they arrive. A beautiful starting point for families who want the full story from the very beginning.
-
That tucked-up, brand-new phase. The scrunch, the stretches, the way they sleep through everything. This is where most families begin.
-
Around 6-7 months. They're watching everything, reaching for things, getting their hands on food for the first time. Joyful, messy, wonderful.
-
Around 12-18 months. The baby who couldn't hold their head up is running laps around the same home where we started. Worth every minute of waiting for.
Common combinations: Maternity + newborn only. Newborn + sitting up + first birthday. All four for the complete story. Whatever makes sense for where you are right now - we'll plan it together.
Two ways to
hold the year.
Both options include in-home sessions and a complete photo gallery from each visit.

A book that

Not a USB. Not a download link. Something you can hold, open, and press play on - every year on their birthday, for the rest of your life.
As your family grows, future sessions can be loaded onto the same book. One keepsake that holds every chapter.

Let's talk about
your family.
I take on a limited number of families each year. If you're expecting, newly postpartum, or your baby is still in their first few months - now is a good time to reach out.
