Why You Should Book the First Year Collection for Your Baby’s Milestones

First Year Photography Collection - maternity, newborn, and milestone package

Why You Should Book the First Year Collection to Capture Your Baby’s Milestones

The first year of your baby’s life is a whirlwind of growth, change, and precious moments that seem to fly by. From the excitement of pregnancy to the sleepy newborn days and those first wobbly steps, each stage is worth capturing. But with a busy life and a little one to care for, it’s easy to let these milestones slip by without professional photos.

That’s where my First Year Collection comes in. This specially curated package includes three sessions—maternity, newborn, and either a milestone or family session—so you can preserve your baby’s journey from bump to first birthday. If you’re wondering whether this collection is right for you, here’s why it’s the perfect choice for busy parents who want to document their baby’s story beautifully and effortlessly.

Never Miss a Milestone

The first year is full of once-in-a-lifetime moments. By booking the First Year Collection, you won’t have to worry about remembering to schedule each session separately. Your baby’s journey will be thoughtfully documented from pregnancy through their first birthday, ensuring you never miss capturing:

✔ Your beautiful maternity glow and the excitement of expecting your baby
✔ The precious, fleeting newborn stage with all the tiny details
✔ A milestone session (typically at 6 months or their first birthday) to celebrate their personality and growth

With everything scheduled in advance, you can relax knowing you’ll have a complete set of timeless images to cherish.

A Stress-Free Photography Experience

Let’s be honest—life with a new baby is busy. Between adjusting to parenthood, sleepless nights, and all the first-year “firsts,” planning multiple photoshoots can feel overwhelming. With the First Year Collection, we take the stress out of the process by:

✔ Pre-scheduling your sessions so you don’t have to think about it later
✔ Providing wardrobe guidance and styling support for each stage
✔ Creating a seamless, relaxed experience so you can enjoy the moments instead of stressing about logistics

By booking your sessions together, you can focus on making memories while I take care of capturing them.

A Consistent & Cohesive Look for Your Baby’s Photos

Choosing one photographer for all your baby’s milestones ensures a beautiful, cohesive collection of images. From the lighting and editing style to the posing and overall aesthetic, each session will complement the others, making your photos perfect for:

✔ A custom heirloom album showcasing the entire first-year journey
✔ A matching wall gallery in your home with professional prints
✔ A timeless baby book to pass down for generations

Instead of piecing together images with varying styles, you’ll have a consistent and polished collection of memories.

A Cost-Effective Way to Capture the First Year

Professional photography is an investment, but the First Year Collection offers exclusive savings when you book all three sessions together. Instead of paying full price for each session separately, this bundle gives you a discounted rate, making it a budget-friendly way to document this special time without compromising on quality.

✔ More value for your investment
✔ No surprise costs later on
✔ Access to premium products and heirloom keepsakes

You get the full first-year experience with stunning, high-quality images at a better price than booking individual sessions.

A Tangible Way to Preserve Your Baby’s Story

Digital photos are great for sharing on social media, but nothing compares to holding your memories in your hands. With the First Year Collection, you’ll have access to:

✔ Fine art albums to tell your baby’s story from start to finish
✔ Framed prints and wall art to display in your home
✔ Professional-quality prints that last for generations

Instead of letting your baby’s photos sit on a hard drive, you’ll have beautiful, tangible keepsakes to treasure forever.

Who Is the First Year Collection For?

✔ Expecting parents who want to document the full journey
✔ Busy moms and dads who want a stress-free photography experience
✔ Families who love the idea of a consistent, polished photo collection
✔ Parents who want to save money on professional photography without sacrificing quality

If this sounds like you, booking the First Year Collection is the perfect way to ensure that every special moment of your baby’s first year is beautifully preserved.

Ever thought about opening up your own photography studio? I started as a Boston newborn photographer with a pop up set up in my living room, moved to a (tiny) dedicated home studio in a guest room, and finally moved to my dream studio location 3.5 years ago. Learn from my experience with these tips on how to do it yourself! (Link in stories and bio)

As I prep for a 7 week old at the studio… I’m often asked, “how old should my baby be for newborn photos?” Every photographer has a different opinion for the perfect age for newborn photography. My personal preference is 2 weeks. BUT, while there was a time that I felt pretty strongly about this, I really don’t care that much how old your baby is when I photograph them anymore. I’ve actually heard of photographers turning clients away because their babies were “too old.” Is your baby a month old right now? Two months? Email me! We’ll have a great time and get gorgeous photos, no matter how old your baby is for newborn photos. #bostonnewbornphotographer #newbornphotography #bostonfamilyphotographer #familyphotographer #newbornphotographer #motherhood #familyphotography #bostonnewbornphotography #babyphotography #bostonfamilyphotography
