The First Year Collection: Denver Maternity, Newborn & Baby Milestone Photography
The first year with a baby passes quickly — often in a blur of growth, change, and small moments you wish you could hold onto a little longer. The First Year Collection is a photography subscription designed to document your baby’s first year in an honest, calm, and meaningful way.
As a Denver maternity and newborn photographer, I created this collection for families who want consistent, story-driven images from pregnancy through their baby’s first birthday — without the stress of booking separate sessions every time.
What’s Included in the First Year Collection
This collection includes four milestone sessions that document your family’s first year together:
Maternity Session
A relaxed maternity photography session focused on connection, movement, and the anticipation before your baby arrives. This can be just you or you and your partner/family.
Newborn Session
Your newborn session can take place in your home, outdoors, or at the hospital (availability permitting). These sessions focus on natural moments — feeding, holding, soothing, and learning each other — rather than rigid posing.
6-Month Session
Often a favorite stage. At six months, babies are curious, expressive, and starting to show their personalities. This session captures smiles, interaction, and connection.
One-Year Session
Your baby’s first birthday session celebrates a full year of growth — whether that looks like cuddles, movement, or playful exploration.
Together, these sessions create a cohesive visual story of your baby’s first year.
