First Year Milestones


The first year of a child's life is filled with change and that change happens before you know it. In the blink of an eye, your sleepy, snuggly newborn transitions to a tummy-timer, to a bright eyed, giggly crawler and sitter; and then, when you least expect it - to a cruiser and walker! Years from now when the perfectly curated outfits and nurseries are packed away and you are carpooling to soccer practices and mall trips, those captured memories of your child's early years will be beyond priceless - trust me! As a mom, and a photographer, I can tell you how meaningful professionally captured moments can be. My house is filled with photos and albums to remind me of each stage of my children's little lives and (once they are generally out of earshot,) I love remembering the early years. I would be honored to help provide the same captured memories for you and your family.


I offer custom First Year Milestones Packages for families that want to invest in professional photography to document their child's first year. Additionally, Milestone Packages are a wonderful gift for expecting parents.


A standard Milestone Package will include:

A 60 minute Newborn Session in your home.

A 45 minute 6 month Sitter session 

A 45 minute first year Walker session

A professionally curated photo album

**Additional sessions may be included such as a Maternity Session and a 3 month Tummy Timer session. At the end conclusion of your Milestone Package, I will work with you to create an beautiful, professional quality album of your favorite images from each session.  


Pricing starts at $1000 for the 3 session Milestone package. Contact me today and we can discuss your wants for your Milestone Photography to create a package that is right for your family.

The Process



01.


Purchase your custom package


Contact me and we will set up a time to discuss your wants for your package. You will review and sign a contract for my services and make your payment. Payment is due in full at the time of contract to receive all of your booking links and the discounted price per photos session available in a First Year Milestone package.



02.


Book each session


You will receive booking links for each of the session types included in your contract. You will select the date/time that works best for your family and schedule them directly. Once booked, you will receive a questionnaire to help me learn about you, your family, your wants for the session, location choice and more. This helps me get to know you and prepare to deliver the images you are hoping for.



03.


Your session day & gallery delivery


Let's have fun! I will help you with your poses and getting you at ease in front of the camera. Come well rested, fed and hydrated so your personalities shine!

Approximately 2-3 weeks after your session, you will receive your gallery of edited images from our session which are available for you to download at high resolution. You are able to purchase prints and wall art directly from your gallery.



04.


Custom album creation


After your last session in your First Year Milestone package, you will review the galleries from all of your sessions to pick your favorite images. We will work together to create a custom album to commemorate your child's first year. Included in your Milestone Package pricing is an album with a specific number of layouts (pages). You may expand your album layouts or purchase additional album copies for gifts for family members, if you wish.
