Capturing Baby's First Year
Most of my clients come to me for newborn photogs, and then a year later for a first birthday session. Many also choose to do a photo session 1/2 way through the year- known as a 6 month milestone, or sitter session, capturing gummy smiles and the sitting milestone. I love photographing babies of all ages, and it’s extra spe4cial when I get to see a family back through=out the year to document their baby’s growth. I’m always blown away by the changes that happen in that first year!
This little guy was a dream to photograph. A dreamy, sleepy, content newborn with the best chin dimple and sweet little smile. His family loves him so much and it was a pleasure to see them again at 6 months, and his 1st birthday!
At each stage I focus on the milestone baby has reached. Sleepy, curled up, tiny and new! At 6 months baby is smiling, making eye contact, sitting, grabbing toes. And at one year he may or may not be walking, but most likely standing with support, and moving around in any way he can!
I work to keep colours, tones, and even some props consistent throughout the sessions, so that all of the images will be beautiful displayed together, on the wall, or in an album. This family
did both- their absolute favourites framed for the wall, and a keepsake album that
tells a story of their son’s first year.
It’s a great idea to have your baby photographed at these three milestones, but why stop at three? Imagine having all of the growth and change in the first year captured. Imagine being able to flip through your baby’s first year album, re-living the first smile, laugh, the first tooth, first food, the evolution of movement- crawling, standing, first steps! If you are already a parent, you know how many firsts there are in that year. Let’s capture them!
A new way to capture your baby’s first year in photographs.
