FROM MATERNITY TO FIRST BIRTHDAY
Remember every milestone and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Our most common Baby’s First Year Bundle includes:
MATERNITY
(1 HOUR SESSION)
Commemorate your pregnancy by showcasing the beauty and miracle of life.
Suggested time is around 30 weeks.
NEWBORN
(2 HOUR SESSION)
This is tiniest and sleepiest they’ll ever be!
Newborn sessions require 2 hours to allow for feedings and soothing.
Suggested time frame is within the first two weeks.
100TH DAY OR 6 MONTH
(1 HOUR SESSION)
100th days old is cultural significance for some. Many families use this time to introduce their baby to the world. This is a great time to document your baby awake, unlike the newborn session, but while they are still very little.
6 months is my favorite time to document babies. Just when they’re starting to sit, we can have a lot of fun with poses. This is also when they tend to have their max baby chubs and is a great time to capture those arm and thigh rolls!
FIRST BIRTHDAY
(1 HOUR SESSION)
First Birthdays are special milestones not only for the baby, but for parents as well!
Make the session extra special with a custom set design that will highlight your baby’s personality.
Optional Add On: Cake Smash, Dohl, and Doljabi
Inquire about our custom dohl and doljabi set ups.

Rest assured, your baby is in good hands.
CLIENT LOVE
I wanted to hire someone who could capture “the story” behind the picture. Life’s big moments happen and then they’re gone. It’s so cliché but a good picture is worth a thousand words.
I think for most people (me included) worry about the cost. Often I think: do I really need to pay someone to take pictures? I can do this myself right? But I have never regretted paying for Caroline’s photos.
Her work speaks for itself, but also, her personality, warmth, creativity, and charm… they all helped to style, direct, and get the perfect shots for us.
Photography is so personal. It’s like a journal entry you’re giving the liberty to someone else to document your life. I appreciate Caroline’s energy and sincerity when shooting all of my life’s big beautiful moments.

FAQ
What should I Wear?
Our neutral color studio goes with any color. We recommend wearing light colored clothing if you like the “light and airy” look. Blacks can look good if it is fitted. We have robes and dresses as well that fit most, which you are welcomed to use. For kids and men, we recommend comfy clothing like soft pants/dresses. Avoid graphic tees. Go for a home/lounge vibe.
How do I schedule a newborn session before my baby’s born?
Choose a date close to your due date as a temporary placeholder. This will allow us to anticipate scheduling a shoot for you around that time. When your baby is born, contact us and we will coordinate a date within your baby’s first 2 weeks.
What if I need to reschedule?
No problem. Contact us within 24 hours and we can help you find a new date and time.
How long are the sessions?
With the exception of newborns, most sessions are an hour long. Newborns require 2 hours to give ample time for feedings and soothing. You can add additional time to any session if you plan to include extended family. Some like to include grandparents and their siblings’ families as well.
