Newborn & First Year

  • You’re a parent who wants more than a staged, picture-perfect photo of your baby in a studio prop. You want to remember what life really looked and felt like in these first months and years; the tiny yawns, the quiet moments, the joy and exhaustion all wrapped together.

    Maybe you love the idea of photos taken at home, where you’re most comfortable. Maybe you’re picturing milestone sessions to capture their first laugh, first steps, or first birthday. Above all, you want images that feel true to your family, not someone else’s idea of perfect.

  • A calm, unhurried session tailored to your baby’s needs. We’ll create a mix of gentle, natural portraits and authentic, candid moments of feeding, cuddles, playtime, whatever feels most like your family.

    Every package includes:

    • A full gallery of usable, fully edited, high-resolution images

    • Private online gallery with unlimited downloads

    • Printing rights and web-ready versions

    • Sneak peeks within a few days, full gallery in 2–3 weeks

  • For newborn sessions, I recommend booking during your third trimester and scheduling the session within the first 2–3 weeks after birth; when babies are still very sleepy and snuggly. First Year milestone sessions are often scheduled at:

    • 3 months: holding their head up, early smiles, more alert expressions

    • 6 months: sitting up, smiling, showing personality

    • 1 year: first steps, cake smash, or first birthday celebration

  • Your home is often the most comfortable and meaningful place for newborn and milestone photos; it’s where your story is unfolding. We can also shoot outdoors or in another location that feels special to you. I keep my gear minimal so I can move easily and keep the focus on your baby, not the setup.

  • The first year goes by faster than you think. I love photographing newborns and first-year milestones because I know how quickly the little details fade; the curl of their toes, the way they fit in your arms, the expressions that only last a few months. I want you to have images that will transport you back to this exact moment in your life, even decades from now.

    • Newborn Session (90+ minutes): $500–$600

    • Milestone Session (45–60 minutes): $400–$500

    • First-Year Package (newborn + 6 months + 1 year): $1,200–$1,400 (includes $100 savings per session)

    Payment plans are available, and all packages include your full gallery with no extra fees per image.

  • One of my biggest passions is making professional photography more affordable and accessible, without sacrificing quality. That’s why booking a newborn or first-year session isn’t just about one day of photos. It’s about opening the door to years of memories captured at a price that makes sense for real life.

    Here’s what you’ll have access to after your first session, until your child turns 18 years old:

    • Discounted Milestone Event Coverage // Capture your child’s big moments, from birthdays and graduations to award ceremonies and after-school performances, at a special rate: $250 for up to 2 hours (normally $400).

    • High School Senior Portrait Discount // When your child reaches their senior year of high school, you’ll receive 25% off any senior portrait session (or $150 off, whichever is greater). This discount applies to any package you choose, and you’ll also have the option to add a free cap & gown mini session as part of your shoot.

    My goal is to make it easier for you to keep documenting your story as it unfolds, because your milestones deserve to be remembered, and your budget deserves some breathing room.
