Baby's First Year of Photos

It’s all about the treasuring the memories you make.

Now that they are on the way, you’re going to want to capture your baby’s first year with beautiful photos!

Welcome to parenthood. Whether this is your first or fifth baby, this marks a transformation into a new you and a new chapter in your life.

Adding a child to your family creates a forever change in your home and in your heart. I’m here to capture the love you have for your latest addition, first while you are pregnant, and then once they enter the world.

Each baby comes into the world with a story to tell. This story unfolds quickly through the first days and weeks. My ambition is to help you preserve the memories that are made from the moment you find out you are pregnant, through all of life’s changes and especially with a bundle of photos documenting baby’s first year. So allow me to join you on this journey to motherhood, and I will provide you with lasting memories and images you will cherish.

The Experience

Each session will first be thoughtfully planned with Jenn, the owner and photographer. Everything is prepared before your arrival, and we’ll be ready to make the magic happen when you enter the studio. Each session is unique and is about you and your growing family.

Following your session, images are professionally edited and you are invited to a review and ordering appointment to complete your purchase.

Your experience would not be complete without beautiful artwork to enjoy daily in your home. Your purchase of tangible artwork is an investment that your children will grow to value and enjoy throughout the years. This is their story as well as yours, and it is a gift to have it written on the walls of your home.

A variety of tangible heirloom artwork is available and may be customized to best fit your desires.

Choose from Italian made folio boxes, modern heirloom albums, and stunning wall displays.

Tangible Art to Cherish for Life

Newborn Photography Pricing for Framed Newborn Photos

We stand behind our belief that everyone should walk away from their experience with physical printed products that can be enjoyed without any additional work. This is why we believe high quality tangible products should be printed for each session. These pieces of art have a longevity that ever changing digital media does not. That said, we live in a digital world, and digital images are also available for purchase.

    “As a child, I often had a camera in my hand. My mom, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother all enjoyed taking photographs of the world around them. Many of those photos were passed on to me and I was able to unfold a whole story of my ancestor's lives back to the 1800s. That's what I love most about this career - preserving memories for lifetimes.”
