Your Baby’s First Year Goes By Fast — These Photos Help You Remember Every Stage

Your baby grows more in their first year than any other time in their life. The changes feel huge — new expressions, new abilities, new little quirks that make their personality shine.

Milestone sessions with Finch & Mae Photography help you slow down and capture each chapter in a way that feels soft, sentimental, and truly timeless.

4 Months
• Big smiles
• Tummy-time push-ups
• Bright, curious eyes

6–7 Months (Sitter Session)
• Sitting independently
• Giggly, expressive faces
• Sweet chubby thighs and arm rolls

9 Months
• Crawling, standing with help
• Playful personality
• Constant movement (but so fun!)

12 Months (First Birthday + Cake Smash)
• Baby’s final “baby” stage
• Walking, clapping, waving
• Minimal cake smash celebration in the studio

A Simple, Stress-Free Studio Experience

My Rio, WI studio is fully designed for babies and families — warm, cozy, and minimal so the focus stays on your child. Parents don’t need to bring anything; I have wardrobe, blankets, wooden toys, and everything needed for a cohesive gallery.

Perfect for Baby Plan Families

Milestones are included throughout the Finch & Mae Baby Plan, which covers your baby’s entire first year with flexible sessions and beautiful heirloom products.
