bump to birthday packages

info & investment

…because this season is priceless, full of all your baby’s firsts. First breaths, first smiles, first steps, and all the tiny moments in between that shape their incredible journey through their first year of life. These fleeting milestones deserve to be cherished and remembered forever.

…because what you’re doing is profound. You’re nurturing, loving, and guiding your baby as they grow and change before your eyes. It’s a season of transformation, not just for them, but for you as well, as you embrace the joys and challenges of parenthood.

…because it’s a story worth telling. From the anticipation of their arrival to the many ‘firsts’ you’ll experience together, these moments are the building blocks of their childhood—and the memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Your baby’s first year will fly by faster than you can imagine, filled with growth, wonder, and love. You deserve to capture and celebrate this magical time, preserving every precious detail so you can relive it for years to come.

How It Works

1. COMMIT

The Bump to Birthday package is the perfect way to capture every stage of your baby’s first year while saving on the cost of your sessions. By choosing this package, you’re locking in a significant discount compared to booking each session individually—all without compromising on the quality or quantity.

Click the button below to get the ball rolling.
(Please select your estimated due date as the date.)

2. Plan

Using your estimated due date as a guide, we’ll penciling in sessions according to the following timeline:

  • Maternity – 32-35 weeks
  • Newborn – within baby’s 1st month, usually around 10-14 days.
  • Sitter – around 6-9 months
  • Cake Smash / 1 Year Old – Baby’s birth month next year.

6-8 weeks before each session, I’ll touch base to finalize a date and give specific guidance to help you style, plan, and prepare for each session.

3. Create

During each session I invite you to let go and have fun, focus on being present in the moment and revel in the milestones and magic of baby’s first year. Priceless memories and images will naturally follow. 

4. Select

10 business days after each session you will receive a link to your proofing gallery. Review the proofs and select your favorite images to add to your final gallery. Need more images? Add them a la carte or upgrade to the next package.

5. Deliver

No more than 4 weeks after you make your selections, your gallery will be updated with your finished images. I recommend viewing them for the first time as a family to relive the memory and feel the love. Enjoy!
