How to Capture Baby’s First Year in Photos: A Guide to Baby’s First Year Photography
The first year of your baby’s life is packed with moments you’ll want to remember forever. That’s where Baby’s First Year Photography comes in! From maternity photos to that messy and adorable first birthday cake smash, this type of photography is all about preserving the milestones that make your baby’s first year so special.
As 2024 wraps up, it’s the perfect time to plan for 2025. My Baby’s First Year Plan is designed to make capturing these moments easy, stress-free, and oh-so-memorable. Let’s dive into what this plan includes and why it’s perfect for your family.
Step 1: Start with a Maternity Session
Maternity sessions are the starting point for your Baby’s First Year Photography journey. They’re a celebration of your pregnancy and the beginning of your family’s story. You’ll cherish these photos as much as the ones of your little one once they arrive.
Pro tip: Schedule your maternity session between 28-34 weeks so you can show off your bump while feeling comfortable and radiant.
Step 2: Newborn Photos (Because They’re Only This Tiny Once)
Newborn sessions are the heart of Baby’s First Year Photography. Taken within the first two weeks, these photos capture your baby’s smallest and sweetest details—those tiny fingers, sleepy yawns, and the way they curl up just perfectly.
Trust me, you’ll never regret having these photos. They’re the ones you’ll look back on years from now when it’s hard to believe they were ever this small.
Step 3: Milestone Session: Anytime Between Newborn and One Year
Your baby’s first year is full of incredible changes, and a milestone session is the perfect way to capture one of them. Whether it’s their first laugh at 4 months, sitting up at 6 months, or crawling at 9 months, this session celebrates your baby’s unique journey.
One of the best parts of my Baby’s First Year Photography plan is its flexibility. You get to choose when this session happens, based on what feels most special to you.
Step 4: Cake Smash: Because Turning One Deserves a Celebration
A cake smash session is the grand finale of the Baby’s First Year Photography journey. These sessions are messy, fun, and absolutely adorable. We’ll set up a creative theme, let your baby dive into a cake, and capture every giggle and frosting-covered grin.
Pro tip: These photos make amazing first birthday invitations or thank-you cards!
