The first year of your baby’s life is a season unlike any other.

It’s not just about watching them grow—it’s about how quickly everything changes.

One day you’re holding a sleepy newborn who fits perfectly in the crook of your arm. A few months later, they’re smiling, rolling, sitting, and suddenly they’re a small person reaching for you with intention. Before you know it, you’re planning a first birthday and wondering how the year disappeared so fast.

That’s why the first year deserves more than just one photo session.

The First Year Isn’t One Moment—It’s Many

So often, parents book a newborn session and think, that’s enough.

And while newborn photos are incredibly important and meaningful, they capture only the beginning chapter of a much bigger story.

Your baby’s first year includes tiny, curled newborn days, bright, curious eye contact around 3–4 months, sitting, giggles, and personality shining through at 6–8 months, and standing, clapping, cake smashing, and celebrating one whole year!

Each stage is fleeting. Each stage looks different. And once it’s gone, it doesn’t come back.

Newborn Photos Capture Details—Milestone Photos Capture Growth

Newborn sessions are about those tiny, brand new details:

tiny fingers and toes,  flaky skin, the sleepy, curled up poses…

Milestone sessions are about growth:
the way your baby smiles and giggles, their shyness or sense of curiosity  and all the developmental milestones they’ve newly mastered.

By documenting more than one stage, you’re not just photographing your baby’s arrival—you’re capturing the full story of their first year.

Babies Change More in One Year Than Any Other Time

There is no other year in your child’s life where growth happens THIS fast.

Their face changes. Their expressions change. Their personality unfolds right in front of you. Looking back at multiple sessions from their first year allows you to see that transformation in a way a single session never could.

Photos Become More Meaningful Over Time

In the early days of becoming a new parent, photos feel SO special. You take millions it feels likes!

Years later, they feel priceless.

One day, they will become reminders of how small your baby once was, proof of how much love surrounded them from the very beginning, and images your child will one day cherish.

When you document the first year intentionally, you’re creating a visual legacy—not just for now, but for the future.

The First Year Is Worth Remembering Fully

You’ll never regret having too many photos of your baby - However, you WILL  regret not capturing more of the moments that mattered most.

The first year isn’t just about milestones—it’s about becoming a family, learning each other, and watching your baby grow.

And that story deserves more than just one photo session.
