PRESERVING YOUR BABY’S MILESTONES: THE ULTIMATE FIRST YEAR PLAN

Your baby’s first year is a whirlwind—one moment you’re marveling at their tiny newborn fingers, and the next, they’re celebrating their first birthday with cake-covered hands. It’s a year filled with incredible changes, fleeting milestones, and memories that deserve to be preserved forever. That’s exactly why I offer a comprehensive First Year Plan—a seamless way to document every special moment, from pregnancy to baby’s first birthday.

The First Year Plan includes four beautifully curated sessions: Maternity, Newborn, Family, and First Birthday. Each session is tailored to your vision, ensuring that you have an elegant, cohesive collection of images that tell the story of your baby’s journey. And the best part? All your favorite images come together in a handcrafted archival album—a stunning keepsake you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Baby Nathan: A Beautiful First Year Story 

Meet baby Nathan, the star of one of my most memorable First Year Plans. His mother, Nathaly, reached out to me during her second trimester, already envisioning how she wanted to capture her journey into motherhood. From that first conversation, I knew this was going to be a series of sessions filled with creativity, elegance, and sentimental value. Working with families who appreciate timeless imagery and artistic direction makes my job so rewarding, and Nathaly’s vision was nothing short of inspiring.

Maternity Session: A Fine Art Masterpiece 

Nathaly’s maternity session was nothing short of a dream. She envisioned a fine art-inspired photoshoot, something that looked like it belonged on the cover of a high-end magazine. With flowing gowns, dramatic lighting, and timeless elegance, we created breathtaking images that highlighted her beauty and the love she already had for her little one.

We selected multiple stunning backdrops to enhance the elegance of her portraits. She wore luxurious, draped fabrics that accentuated her growing belly, exuding an ethereal glow. Every shot captured her grace, strength, and the anticipation of meeting baby Nathan. The result? A maternity session that looked like it was pulled straight from an editorial spread, showcasing the beauty of motherhood in a way that was both sophisticated and deeply personal.

Newborn Session: Serenity and Sweet Moments 

When baby Nathan arrived, he was as calm and cooperative as could be. His newborn session was a peaceful experience, filled with soft neutrals and delicate textures. What made this session even more special? Their family dog made a guest appearance, adding an extra personal touch to their gallery. Including pets in a newborn session can bring warmth and authenticity, capturing the essence of a growing family.

We carefully posed Nathan in gentle, comfortable positions that highlighted his delicate features. The soft lighting and neutral tones created a serene atmosphere, making each image feel like a timeless work of art. The love between this family was palpable, and capturing those fleeting newborn moments ensured they’d always have a tangible memory of those first precious days.

Family Session: High Fashion Meets Real Life 

For their family session, Nathaly wanted something fashion-inspired and timeless, so we opted for black and white imagery that emphasized emotion, connection, and classic style. The entire family looked like they stepped off the pages of a fashion magazine, proving that you don’t have to be professional models to get stunning, high-end images.

We carefully curated the wardrobe, choosing elegant yet modern outfits that complemented each family member. Nathaly and her husband looked effortlessly chic, and even baby Nathan had his moment to shine. The goal was to capture more than just a portrait—to showcase their bond, their love, and their journey as a family.

With the right angles, expert lighting, and careful posing, we created a collection of portraits that will remain stylish and elegant for generations. Each image told a story of love, connection, and the unique style that this family embodied.

First Birthday Session: A Celebration of Growth 

When it was time to celebrate Nathan’s first birthday, we designed a session that was both neutral and full of meaningful details. His parents chose a metal car theme with greenery, giving the shoot a timeless, rustic feel. To make it even more personal, I created a backdrop featuring black and white images from Nathan’s first year, a visual reminder of how much he had grown.

The cake smash was designed to be as fun as possible—Nathan was curious, joyful, and completely in his element. The simple yet stylish backdrop allowed him to shine, and every giggle and little handprint in the frosting was captured with care. But the session didn’t stop there! After the cake smash, we moved to a bubble bath finale, where Nathan got to splash and play in a tiny tub, laughing as the bubbles floated around him. This part of the session was a perfect way to wrap up his first year with joyful, playful moments.

The Heirloom Album: A Timeless Keepsake 

One of the best parts of the First Year Plan is the stunning archival album that comes with it. Nathan’s family selected their favorite images from each session, curating a breathtaking collection that tells their unique story. This isn’t just a photo book—it’s a tangible legacy, a piece of art that will live on for generations to come. Imagine flipping through its pages with your child years from now, reliving those priceless moments together.

Printed on museum-quality paper with a luxurious, handcrafted cover, this album is built to last a lifetime. It’s more than just pictures—it’s a visual journey through Nathan’s first year, preserving the love, the laughter, and the tiny details that would otherwise fade with time.
