Rockford Baby Photography: “My First Year”!

Capturing Baby’s First Year

Did you know I offer a My First Year plan?  Yup. Like whiskers on kittens it’s one of my favorite things. 

It’s a bundle of several sessions aimed to capture baby’s first year of life- where they grow and change the most! Scheduling, planning, and styling each of these milestone sessions is all taken care of by ME (because although new parents WANT to beautiful portraits of their baby, they’re tiiiiiiirrrrred.) Parents with a baby just want to get through the day without nodding off at the dinner table. The last thing usually on their minds is scheduling important dates in advance. That’s why I plan it all for them! 😉⁠

What it includes:

My First Year includes 3 once-in-a-lifetime milestone sessions for your baby…  First, capturing them when they begin to start SMILING- usually around 3 months or so. Next, capturing them when they are SITTING up all by themselves! This can be anywhere from 6-9 months. And finally, celebrating the biggest milestone of all- their first birthday!

The First Birthday is probably the most fun of all the sessions!  We start with classic 12 month portraits in the studio and then capture the joy and fun of a 1st birthday cakesmash, and a bubbly bath afterward.

What to Expect…

I reach out to you to schedule each session when the time comes.  I also custom style each session for you and your little one!  I have several go-to outfits for babies to wear. Or,  I can coordinate the set-ups to match an outfit you’ve already chosen!  You arrive with your little one and leave the rest to me!

Seriously- EVERYTHING is taken care of. I LOVE being able to continue to photograph these sweet babies as they grow and I like knowing that I’m helping my families achieve something that they’ll never have the opportunity for again.

Not only does the My First Year plan include ALL the images from ALL the sessions (with nothing more to buy!) You also receive a keepsake box and a set of archival prints for the entire year’s photos.   

Seeing these newborns grow so much during their first year is SUCH a blessing and a wonderful job perk!  The My First Year plan is- I think- the best way to remember those once-in-a-lifetime moments when your baby is small.  Because, unfortunately, you only get these days once.   


If you have a little one soon to arrive earthside, or a newborn who’s already starting to grow and change- don’t wait! Get in touch to capture baby’s first year!  See pricing details for the My First Year plan here.
