Hidden Benefits of the First Year Collective

 

Your sweet little newborn will grow and change so much throughout the first year of her life.

You will truly be amazed at how much she goes and just how quickly the year will fly by. Documenting each of her important milestones during her first year is a gift for yourself and your child. You’ll be able to watch your baby grow through professional images throughout the rest of her life.

This is exactly why I created the First Year Collective with my clients in mind. This package includes 3-4 portrait sessions throughout your baby’s first year so that you are able to document each exciting milestone.

There are other hidden benefits of a First Year Collective that I would love to share with you.  But first, I’d love to properly introduce the First Year Collective.

What is the First Year Collective?

The First Year Collective is a popular choice for parents about to welcome a new baby, and it’s easy to see why. The Collective includes 3-4 portrait sessions over the first 18 months of your baby’s life. We work together to choose which milestones are important to you.

Each portrait session includes our signature full-service process, which includes wardrobe access, hair and makeup, along with artwork design and installation. By booking the First Year Collective, you’ll receive savings on the session fees, all while knowing your baby’s important milestones will be documented and preserved.

5 Hidden Benefits of the First Year Collective


1. Stress-Free Professional Milestone Documentation - Once we are booked, and you’re one of my First Collective Families, I take care of everything. We’ll decide which milestones you want to document and schedule your sessions. You won’t have to worry about where, when, and how. It’s all taken care of for you.

2. Less Time Worrying about Each Session - Instead of realizing you need to book a photographer for your six-month sitter session, I’ll contact you to check in and ensure we have everything set for the upcoming session.

3. Increases Child’s Self-Esteem - Photography is important for our children. Children who grow up with their portraits on the walls feel secure and have higher self-esteem. They know their importance in the family and can see their growth documented.

4. Consistent Portrait Artwork - Imagine seeing your child’s First Year Collective gallery wall in their playroom or in your living room. By working with the same photographer for these precious milestone sessions, these portraits will have a beautiful, consistent look that you’ll love to enjoy.

5. Done-for-You Portrait Artwork Design and Installation - I’m never sure who is happier when I arrive at my clients’ homes for portrait installations, you, me, or your partner. I handle all design, ordering, and installation with every session. You and your partner don’t have to lift a finger while I professionally hang your portraits exactly how you want them without stress.
