Welcoming a new baby into the family is one of life’s most beautiful and transformative experiences. Every little detail, from tiny fingers to to first smiles feels like a miracle worth celebrating. While no parent wants to forget these moments, the reality is that time moves fast and babies grow faster.

This is where a baby photography plan comes in. Not only does a Baby Plan help preserve these memories but it also allows families to document their baby’s journey.

Babies go through remarkable changes in their first year. From the sleepiness of newborn days to the expressions of early toddlerhood, each stage has its own unique beauty. The Baby Plan ensures that milestones are being captured. This can be maternity, newborn, sitting up, crawling and their first steps.

Most parents these days take plenty of pictures on their phones, however, there is something special about having a professional photographer document your baby’s growth.

Booking multiple photography sessions throughout a year can be a daunting task but when you book the Baby Plan, you are guaranteed to get multiple sessions booked at one time. With a Baby Plan, you are telling the story of your baby’s first year.

The Baby Plan is designed in one of two collections.

Maternity | Newborn | 6 Months | One Year Portraits + Cake Smash

or

Newborn | 6 Months | One Year Portraits + Cake Smash

The Baby Plan offers multiple perks to you throughout your baby’s first year and beyond. Some of the perks are:

Prints and products are the kind of keepsakes that you will cherish forever. They make stunning gifts for grandparents, and close family. You can get a variety of wall art made such as framed prints, canvases, metal art, and more. It doesn’t end there though because we love a good album, brag book, memory box and linen boxes filled with beautiful prints.

There is something truly magical about celebrating a baby’s first birthday. It is a joyful milestone for not just the little one but for their entire family. I have been lucky enough to watch this sweet boy grow since he was in his mama’s belly. One of the most greatest traditions is a One Year Cake Smash Portrait Session. It is messy, fun-filled and a great way for babies to experience cake.

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Mav’s cake smash session and let me tell you, he was all smiles.

For Mav’s session, mama and I worked together to decide what outfits to go with (mama had some ideas and they were absolutely perfect). When we knew the colors of the outfit that mama wanted him in for the cake smash portion, I sent the photo off to my local baker that I use for every cake smash.

Cake Smashes always take place in the Rio, WI Studio and are minimalistic and clean setup. The focus is entirely on baby and it honestly makes for the most classic and beautiful portraits. I love that Mav’s parents also chose to do the Parent Add-On where they can jump in front of the camera as well to get some beautiful family portraits to really add to the excitement of their baby turning one. The fact that mom and dad stood in my studio one year ago with a brand new baby and then again one year later was so exciting.

The cake itself was perfect as always, Nikki- my baker had made the cake absolutely perfect and matches Mav’s outfit wonderfully.

Cake Smashes are truly a unique way to mark your baby’s first year. They are a blend of celebration, exploration, and joy. I not only tell parents that we are celebrating their baby’s first birthday but them. They made it through their first year with their baby and that is worth celebrating too!
