Baby’s First Year Photos

I adore having clients that sign up for my “Baby’s First Year” package! I get to see these little ones grow, change, and develop their personalities throughout the year, and we celebrate with a cake smash at the end! From maternity, to newborn session I get to know moms and dads, and through the rest of the year we all are in awe of how much these tiny ones grow in just one year! No matter how many babies I see grow, I am still astounded by how much their little personalities develop each time I see them!

This family opted out of a maternity session for their Baby’s First Year package, so we came up with a custom package to fit! Here are a few of my favorites from the last year! I saw this little peanut for her newborn session, two milestone mini sessions, and we celebrated the year with a fun filled cake smash! I will definitely miss seeing this sweetheart every few months!!

Milestone mini session, 7 month old baby R

This little man is such a charmer! His mama is a former student of mine, from FOREVER ago when I was a science teacher. I am loving that so many of my students are all grown up and starting families of their own!

Baby R is 7 months old, and just as cute as can be. We were able to fly through so many different set ups, outfits and more during his mini session…he was such a champ! Milestone sessions are such a fun way to capture those fleeting milestones during baby’s first year. I recommend at least coming in once baby is sitting unassisted if you are trying to decide on ONE major milestone for photos. Between newborn, sitting, and a one year cake smash, mamas are always shocked by how much their little one has grown and changed. The job is definitely a bittersweet reminder of how quickly time marches by, but I just love watching my littles grow!!

I have a studio stocked with props, outfits, backdrops, snacks, and more! You literally just need to bring baby, and I can take care of the rest. Obviously, you are welcome to bring along any items, outfits, etc that you would like included in your session..but if you’d rather have me take over the styling, I’ll be thrilled to do so!

Babies are my jam, and I have so much fun getting to know each little one’s distinct personality. Milestone sessions are quick, easy, and super fun! Shoot me an email if you are looking to book a milestone mini session for your little one! Mini sessions are held during the week, and I typically have one day a month that I run all of my minis. Milestone minis are for babies between 3-13 months old, are 20 minutes in studio.

Milestone Mini Session, 6 month photo shoot Mill Creek, WA

This little many is so sweet! I met him at his newborn session, and I was PREEEEETY sure he was a ginger. His hair was super short, but there was a hint of red there. He showed up for his 6 month photo session with a full head of red hair, and I am smitten. He is seriously so adorable!

Milestone sessions are such a fast, fun way to capture the fleeting moments and HUGE milestones of baby’s first year. Some of my favorite milestones to photograph are baby sitting up unassisted, baby standing, first smiles, first teeth, crawling, walking, obviously baby’s first taste of cake for their first birthday!

I have an entire studio filled with gorgeous layers, props, outfits, hats (I have a weakness for babies in animal hats. Current collection of animal hats includes 5 bear hats, two fox hats, three deer hats, three bunny hats, a koala hat, a sheep hat, two kitten hats…clearly, I have a problem).

Milestone mini sessions are available to all of my previous NEWBORN clients, and are a discounted session. Not to worry if you missed the opportunity to book a newborn session with me, I absolutely offer full sessions for all ages!

Winter Mini Sessions, Mill Creek Christmas Minis

Mini sessions are such a fun way to update your family portraits! Winter Mini Sessions are BOOKING NOW, and will be held on November 19th in my gorgeous Mill Creek Studio.

We will have two different sets for minis this year. One side will have a swing, wrapped with greenery and red berry floral garlands. The swing side of the set will be ideal for kiddos, and beautiful individual images of each kid. We will be placing blocks under the swings for tiny clients, so it won’t swing out from under them, but the bigger kiddos will be able to swing away.

The other side of the studio will have a beautiful white queen sized bed nestled into the giant studio window. The white headboard wil be wrapped with beautiful white magnolia and greenery garlands. The entire family will be able to snuggle up on the bed. This set will look adorable with winter pjs, or dressed in your best, both will be adorable!

Sessions will be 15 minutes long, and include your choice of 3 digital files from your online gallery. You will also recieve THREE accordion mini albums, which make great gifts! The accordion mini albums have a soft leather cover, and the images will be selected by Melissa to best fit the sizes/layout of the album. Keep one for yourself, and gift the other two to grandparents! Mini sessions are $175, plus tax. Sign up for your mini session HERE These spots tend to fill SUPER fast, so snag your spot now.

Winter Mini Sessions, 2016. Mill creek photographer June Bug Photography.

I had SO MUCH FUN with this year’s mini sessions! We had two very different set ups, which was perfect! We had a snowy, mountain top, tree filled set up (complete with snowballs!) and a very neutral couch set up as well.

My mini sessions always book before I actually go public with them, as I send out a newsletter to all my wonderful clients. This year, both my fall minis and winter minis booked solid before I had a chance to open them up to everyone else. I might need to add a few days of minis next year, and I had MANY people who weren’t able to snag a spot…and I hate turing people away!

My clients are seriously the best, and I had a total blast seeing everyone and how much your kiddos have grown!

Fall Family Mini Session Marathon!!

In an effort to spend more time with my own family, I’ve decided to limit the number of weekend days I work…which is super difficult, because fall/winter is definitely BUSY SEASON for photographers! In order to fit in all of my wonderful clients, I ran a special family mini session day…and it was a total blast! I ended up photographing 11 different families, and it was so fun to see so many of my favorite families. I was definitely tired at the end of the day, but it was such a great day!!

Here are some of my favorites!

Adorable family session, Mill Creek family photographer June Bug Photography

This little lady is homeschooled, and comes to me each year for an updated school photo. I have a special place in my heart for homeschooling families, as I worked for many years at a Homeschool Resource Center.

She is simply the sweetest, and has the BEST IDEAS. She spotted my unicorn headband as soon as she walked in the door, and I promised her that she would get a chance to wear it. We got through the “traditional” poses, and then she totally rocked the unicorn headband. Like, ROCKED IT.

I couldn’t let the session end without getting little brother in front of the camera, and the two of them are just the sweetest together. I love working with such happy, loving, fun families. Love it!

Baby Photography Session: 3 months, Snohomish County Photography.

Baby Photography Session, Snohomish County Photography.

Baby A is already 3 months old, and I am so excited I get to see her every few months for the next year! She is part of my “baby plan”, which means she will be dropping by for mini-milestone sessions throughout her first year. She is simply precious, and so calm! She has the most stunning eyelashes I have EVER seen, this girl is a beauty. Just started downloading their images from today, and this one stopped me in my tracks. Such a gorgeous girl!

I was lucky enough to meet this family for baby’s newborn session, and she has grown so much in just 3 short months. I love to compare photos from the different sessions, it is such a great reminder of how fast they grow! Want to make sure you capture those fleeting moments? Book the “baby plan” with me, and you can rest assured that you will have gorgeous images of each of those adorable milestones.

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:
