Your baby’s first year is filled with more change, growth, and magic than any other time in their life. From tiny newborn stretches to first smiles, first rolls, first teeth, and first steps — it’s a year you can never get back.
Many parents start the year saying,
“I’ll remember this,”
but the truth is… it all goes by so quickly.
The Finch & Mae Baby Plan was created to preserve this incredibly fleeting season in a meaningful, beautiful, and effortless way — with warm, emotional, neutral imagery that grows with your baby.
If you’re looking for the best way to document your baby’s first year in Madison, Sun Prairie, Rio, Columbus, DeForest, or anywhere in south-central Wisconsin, this guide will walk you through:
✨ what the Baby Plan is
✨ what sessions are included
✨ why families LOVE it
✨ how payment plans work
✨ why it’s a better value than individual sessions
✨ and why it’s my #1 most booked offering
Let’s begin.
⭐️ Section 1: What Is the Baby Plan?
The Baby Plan is a year-long photography membership designed to document your baby’s biggest milestones — slow, sweet, intentional sessions throughout year one.
Families choose between:
2, 3, or 4 full sessions
such as:
✔ Maternity
✔ Newborn
✔ 3–4 month milestone
✔ 6–7 month sitter session
✔ 9–10 month personality session
✔ One Year / Cake Smash
You choose the sessions that matter most to your family.
The Baby Plan ensures nothing gets missed — and gives you a warm, seamless experience the entire year.
⭐️ Section 2: Why Year One Matters Most
Your baby will grow faster in Year One than at any other time in their entire childhood.
Here’s how quickly they change:
0–3 months:
Sleepy newborn expressions turn into early smiles and bright curiosity.
4–6 months:
Rolling, grabbing, interacting with you — the sweetest mini-stage.
6–7 months (Sitter Stage):
THE most beloved milestone.
Your baby is sitting, smiling, clapping, and full of personality.
9–10 months:
Wiggly, curious, playful — a magical transitional phase.
12 months:
Standing, crawling, sometimes walking… and so full of joy.
Each stage is unique, fleeting, and absolutely worth documenting.
⭐️ Section 3: What’s Included in the Finch & Mae Baby Plan
Every Baby Plan includes:
✨ Priority booking
✨ Flexible monthly payment plans
✨ Member access to Mini Sessions
✨ Full-service planning
✨ A calm, baby-led approach
✨ A soft, neutral, timeless aesthetic
✨ A special pricing structure not available outside the Plan
It’s designed to make your year both beautiful and stress-free.
⭐️ Section 4: Why Families LOVE the Baby Plan
1. It saves money
Booking each session individually costs significantly more.
Baby Plan families receive:
✔ bundled pricing
✔ session fee savings
✔ digital collection discounts
✔ exclusive member perks
Over the span of a year, it adds up to hundreds in value.
2. It guarantees availability
I photograph only a limited number of babies per month to ensure quality and flexibility.
Baby Plan members get priority scheduling — especially for newborn and sitter sessions, which book far in advance.
3. It keeps everything cohesive and timeless
Same photographer.
Same studio.
Same soft editing.
Same warm experience.
Your baby’s entire story flows together beautifully in one consistent, emotional collection.
4. It removes stress from your life
No more scrambling to book sessions last-minute.
Your year is planned and cared for from day one.
Parents tell me all the time,
“This made year one feel so much easier.”
5. It includes member mini session benefits
Baby Plan members receive:
✔ first access to Minis
✔ priority booking for holiday sessions
Minis book up FAST in Wisconsin — especially Christmas Minis — and Baby Plan families always get first pick.
6. It captures the moments you forget to remember
You think you’ll remember every detail…
but babies grow so quickly, those little things fade:
• their tiny toes
• the way they curl into you
• their gummy smile
• their soft baby rolls
• the way they laugh at 6 months
• the excitement at 1 year
The Baby Plan preserves every stage in a soft, emotional way.
⭐️ Section 5: What Each Milestone Session Looks Like
Newborn Session
Warm, slow, baby-led, filled with connection.
Neutral tones, family snuggles, swaddles, tiny details.
3–4 Month Milestone
Smiles, tummy time, early giggles, curiosity.
A beautiful stage most parents forget to document — but they LOVE the images.
Sitter Session (6–7 Months)
My personal favorite milestone.
Your baby is sitting unassisted, joyful, expressive, and so incredibly photogenic.
9–10 Month Session
More mobility, more expressions, more personality.
Perfect for capturing a transition between babyhood and toddlerhood.
One Year Session
Standing, clapping, exploring, laughing — plus the option for a cake smash or a timeless neutral setup without props.
⭐️ Section 6: Payment Plans Make It Easy
One of the biggest reasons parents join the Baby Plan:
monthly payment plans.
Instead of paying large session fees all at once, your Baby Plan can be paid:
✔ monthly
✔ automatically
✔ interest-free
This makes documenting year one accessible for every family — without sacrificing quality or memories.
You simply sign up once, and your year is taken care of.
⭐️ Section 7: The Value vs Booking Sessions Individually
If you book each session separately, you’ll pay:
• full session fees
• full digital collection prices
• full heirloom pricing
• individual scheduling
• no guaranteed availability
With the Baby Plan, you receive:
✔ discounted rates
✔ bundled sessions
✔ exclusive perks
✔ priority booking
✔ consistent styling
✔ full galleries
✔ a full-year experience
The Baby Plan is the best value I offer — and the most sentimental.
⭐️ Section 8: A Year You’ll Never Regret Documenting
Parents tell me all the time:
“I can’t believe how much they changed in a year.”
“This was the best decision we made.”
“I’m so glad we have every stage.”
You will never regret having these memories — only not having them.
