Grow With Me Baby Plan
Many families choose to continue documenting their baby’s milestones throughout the first year.
Our Grow With Me Baby Plan includes the Signature Newborn Experience along with three milestone sessions that capture how your baby grows during their first year.
The plan includes:
• Newborn Session – the Signature Newborn Experience within the first 5–14 days

• Sitter Session (6–9 months) – once baby can sit independently and personality shines
• First Birthday Session – celebrating your baby turning one year old
Together, these sessions create a cohesive collection of portraits that beautifully document your baby’s first year.

Every session is guided by your baby’s comfort, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and natural transitions between setups.
