That first year with your baby?
It’s a blur of love, late nights, growth spurts, and “how are they already doing THAT?” moments. Learn more about why first-year milestones matter and how the Grow With Me Collection makes it easy for you to keep those moments forever.
As a mom of four, I know firsthand how fast the newborn stage fades—and how quickly each new milestone appears. One day you’re marveling at their first gummy smile, and the next they’re sitting up on their own and reaching for the spoon you’re holding.
That’s why milestone photography is so close to my heart.
These sessions aren’t just about cute outfits and big grins (though we get plenty of those too!). They’re about documenting your baby’s journey—chapter by chapter—before those fleeting moments are gone.
During your baby’s first year, there are a few standout stages that deserve their own spotlight:
📸 3-Month “Smiling” Session:
This is when your baby starts connecting. They’re alert, starting to hold their head up, responding to your voice, and flashing that heart-melting smile that says “I know you.”
📸 6–8 Month “Sitter” Session:
Baby is sitting on their own now—usually without crawling away just yet! Their personality is blossoming, their cheeks are round, and their expressions are priceless.
📸 12 Month “Cake Smash” Session:
They’re ONE. They’ve grown so much. This session is equal parts milestone and celebration—messy, joyful, and completely unforgettable.
Each of these stages tells part of your baby’s story. Together, they capture the magic of their first year of life.
Let’s be honest—life with a baby is busy. It’s easy to mean to schedule sessions… and then suddenly realize months have passed.
That’s why I created the Grow With Me Collection:
To give you the gift of peace of mind
To make sure these stages don’t slip by undocumented
And to offer more value than booking separately
With this collection, you don’t have to remember when to schedule. I’ll do that for you—reaching out at just the right times to help you plan each session. You’ll receive consistent, beautifully edited galleries that flow together and tell a complete story.
Plus? It’s a more affordable option than booking sessions one at a time—because I want this experience to feel accessible, meaningful, and stress-free.

By the end of your Grow With Me journey, you’ll have a full set of professional images capturing your baby’s first year milestones—ready to be framed, shared, or turned into an heirloom album.
But more than that, you’ll have tangible proof of their growth, your love, and all the little in-between moments that mean so much.
If your baby is just starting to smile, now is the perfect time to start. I’d love to help you tell their story.
