WHAT TO EXPECT WITH YOUR FIRST BIRTHDAY SESSION AT REFLECTIONS
Whether it’s letting your baby crawl or walk around, playing peek-a-boo, or enjoying giggles, we’ll create a relaxed atmosphere where you and your kids can be themselves.
You can relax while I take care of everything, from hair and makeup for you to wardrobe for the whole family. Come to my studio for quality family time and play with your baby, knowing your memories are being brought to life.
A week after your session, you’ll return to the studio to see your images, choose your favourites, and approve the designs. From there, I'll order and install your portrait artwork in your home.
“With being so busy as first time parents, it was amazing not needing to worry about what we were going to wear for the photos and not needing to worry about hair and makeup.
Karen made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire session and she was absolutely amazing with our little one. We truly enjoyed our experience!”
