The First Year Membership includes 3-4 sessions within the first 18 months of your babies life that will last a lifetime. Let’s dive into the details …
What a First Year Photo Membership Entails
The first year of your baby’s life is filled with incredible milestones, from the anticipation of pregnancy to those first tiny steps. A First Year Photo Membership is the perfect way to document these fleeting moments with a series of professional photography sessions designed to capture your growing family. This membership allows you to select three or four sessions throughout your baby’s first year, ensuring that every special stage is beautifully preserved.
Session Options to Capture Every Precious Moment
With a First Year Photo Membership, you have the flexibility to choose from a variety of sessions tailored to your family’s journey. Each session is designed to highlight a different milestone, creating a stunning visual story of your baby’s first year.
- Maternity Session – Celebrate the beauty of pregnancy with a maternity session that captures the excitement and love as you await your little one’s arrival.
- Fresh 48 Session – Taken within the first two days after birth, this intimate session documents those first sweet moments in the hospital or at home, capturing the tiny details and overwhelming joy of your baby’s arrival.
- Newborn Session – Typically done within the first two weeks of life, a newborn session focuses on the delicate and peaceful early days, highlighting those sleepy snuggles and tiny features.
- Milestone Session – Perfect for capturing key moments such as tummy time, sitting up, or the first birthday, milestone sessions showcase your baby’s development and growing personality.
- Family Session – As your baby reaches the one-year mark, a family session is a wonderful way to celebrate this first year together, capturing the love and connection between parents, siblings, and the little one.

Preserve Your Baby’s First Year with Timeless Photos
Your baby’s first year is a whirlwind of change and growth, and a First Year Photo Membership allows you to slow down and capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments. Whether you choose three or four sessions, you’ll have a stunning collection of images that tell the story of your baby’s first year, preserving these memories for a lifetime.
One of my favorite ways to use photos taken during the First Year Membership is with a timeless, curated photo album. Not only does it nicely display your images, but it’s something tangible that you’ll be able to cherish for a lifetime. I still remember flipping through old albums with my mom when I was little. Maybe it’s just me, but I love holding a physical product that is well made and full of the people and memories I treasure the most.
