How the First Year Collective Is More than Newborn Photos
Clients returning to work with me again is such a gift and a privilege.
I feel as though I get a front-row seat to watch your family grow. From the maternity session to the first year portrait session, I’m right there with you, documenting your baby growing up.
From finding out you’re pregnant to celebrating your baby’s first birthday, there are so many beautiful moments in between. Not only do I get to watch your baby grow, but I watch you grow as a mom, too. You deserve to be documented alongside your baby’s major milestones because you’re part of his story, too.
There’s a lot of pressure on moms to document their baby’s milestones perfectly when she’s just trying to enjoy every moment with her baby. I want to take the pressure off moms, so they can savour each milestone with their baby. Not be stuck behind the camera themselves.
This is why I created the First Year Collective. This collection of sessions throughout your baby’s first year documents each major milestone with a full-service, stress-free experience. If you’re curious about what a First Year Collective looks like, I’d love to introduce you to the beautiful Murphy family that trusted me to document their maternity, newborn, six-month, and first year portrait sessions.
I’ll share a few images from each of these sessions as well as why you might choose this for your family.
Building Lasting Relationships with Your Photographer
Working with just one photographer who is there to capture all of your life’s biggest milestones cultivates a bond and trust that grows throughout the journey. This relationship allows for a deeper understanding of the family's unique dynamics and personal preferences, resulting in authentic and natural portraits.
Comfortable, Stress-Free Photography Sessions
A full-service photography studio offers a controlled and comfortable environment for families. The Murphy family featured in this blog found this aspect particularly beneficial, providing a seamless and stress-free experience. From the choice of wardrobe to the ambiance and comfort of the studio, every detail is taken care of to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable session, allowing the family a stress-free and enjoyable experience.
Capture all the Milestones that Matter
Think of the The First Year Collective as a magical time capsule, designed to capture the growth and joy of your family as it unfolds across four special sessions. It usually begins, as with the Murphy family, with the excited anticipation of a new arrival and ends with triumphant first steps, giggles, and cake. This approach guarantees you won’t miss a thing when it comes to your family’s story.
Cohesive, Done-for-You Portrait Artwork
During the first year of your baby’s life, the last thing you need to be doing is trying to design and print your own artwork. My full-service process takes that entire project off your plate and creates professionally designed and printed portrait artwork that will last a lifetime. You get to enjoy more baby snuggles (and hopefully time for yourself) while also enjoying the benefit of portraits on the walls or in albums without doing any work.
