The Baby Plan

Capturing baby’s first year of life

“Today’s little moments become tomorrow’s precious memories.”

Your baby will change so much in their first year of life! Let us capture memories of each stage with The Baby Plan. 

WHAT IS THE BABY PLAN? And why you should choose one

A baby’s first year of life is magical and fleeting.  You don’t want to miss capturing and creating tangible memories to treasure for a lifetime.

As a mom of two, I know how busy your life will become after your baby arrives.  I understand you’ll want to remember each milestone, and I want to capture every precious detail for you. 

Imagine holding a beautiful, custom-designed album that includes memories of each stage of your baby’s first year of life.  How special would this album become to you over time?

The baby plan includes three photography sessions, including a newborn session and two milestone sessions.  We take care of every detail of each session, including planning, design, wardrobe, and scheduling, so you’ll have time to rest and enjoy your baby.  We know your child will treasure photographs that include you the most, which is why you’ll be pampered in the comfort of your home by our professional hair and makeup artist for the session of your choice!

BABY PLAN PACKAGE

$2,500

You’ll also receive one professional adult hair and makeup service to use during the session of your choice.  We recommend using this service during the newborn or first birthday session. 

Each portrait session includes one pre-session consultation, one ordering consultation, and 15 retouched digital files. A complete wardrobe is available for use during each photography session.

$500 is due at the time of booking to secure The Baby Plan.  The remainder of your three equal payments are due in full before each consecutive session.  The Baby Plan is non-transferable. 

NEWBORN SESSION

Newborn Sessions are held within 5-14 days of birth as this is the ideal time to achieve many newborn poses.  I allow as much time as needed for feeding, snuggling, and settling and never rush a newborn session.  I want to make sure that your newborn session is relaxed and comfortable for both you and your baby.

The Baby Plan includes a pre-session consultation to plan and prepare for your newborn session.  We want you to love each image we create of your precious baby, and this meeting is a crucial step.  You will also receive a guide to help you prepare for a successful newborn session.

Safety is our top priority during a newborn session.  Each baby is unique and will naturally mold into many newborn poses.  We will never force a baby into a position that is not comfortable for the baby.  If a specific pose or prop is requested, we will do our best to accommodate your wishes while ensuring your baby’s comfort and safety at all times during the newborn session.

MILESTONE SESSIONS

When it comes to photographing babies, timing is everything!  I always schedule milestone sessions right after the baby’s naptime in the morning.    

Wardrobe:  We have an extensive wardrobe collection in neutral colors available for newborns, babies, and young children.  Our outfits are timeless and natural to keep the focus on your little ones.  We hand launder each item in dye + scent-free baby detergent between each portrait session. 

You may choose between a tummy-time or sitter milestone session.

Tummy Time

The first significant milestone occurs when your baby can hold their head up with ease while on their tummy, typically around three months old.  At this time, babies start to respond to smiles and discover their bodies – especially those chubby little feet.  Toe-grabs and playful smiles create some of the cutest images!

Sitter

Babies begin sitting independently around six to nine months, and it’s an important milestone to document during the first year of life. We provide baby outfits and simple diaper covers to show off your baby’s chunky rolls and squishy, soft skin.

1st Birthday

 Let’s celebrate your baby’s first year of life with a custom first-birthday photography session in Austin, Texas! Our portrait party includes family and baby-only portraits.  We provide a small, custom-decorated cake for your baby to smash at the end of the first birthday photography session.
