Grow With Me Sessions: Who, What, Where and Why – Footsteps Photography, Child Photographer near RAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath

It is said that the first year of your baby’s life passes in the blink of an eye. While you’re in the midst of sleepless nights, constant feeds and lots of cooing and crying, it can feel like a day lasts a lifetime. But take it from those who have been there, this time is truly short. Your sweet little bundle is changing daily and all of a sudden, you’ll have a toddler on your hands! I am so lucky to be part of a great military community here in England but that means that many of my clients are living far away from friends and family back in the States. Grandparents, aunt, uncles, and cousins are missing out on the big milestones in your baby’s life. What better way to capture those special moments than booking a Grow With Me package?!

The Grow With Me sessions are unique to each child and can be tailored to your exact specifications. The idea is to document all the changes in the first year of life, ultimately culminating in a yummy smash cake session near baby’s first birthday. For size comparison, you can choose a prop to be used in each session and I will show you some creative ways that the prop can showcase the physical accomplishments of your little one. This vintage bed is a favorite as it makes a beautiful setting for a sleeping newborn, a supportive back rest for babies just learning to sit, and a great balance bar for those taking their first steps. Perhaps you have a special teddy or toy you purchased before baby was even born? These make for treasured mementos to be kept beyond the Grow With Me session and look beautiful when displayed on a shelf next to the finished pictures.

Grow With Me sessions are also incredibly affordable and an amazing deal when you consider what you get. You can book as many sessions as you’d like – I recommend a minimum of three sessions scheduled three to four months apart to really capture those exciting changes. And don’t forget there’s a repeat client discount! For around $150 a session (depending on how many you book), you will receive digital photos with the option of prints, booklets, and a custom-designed collage – the options are endless. These make a great gift for family and friends and will likely become a treasured family heirloom as the years go by.

So what are you waiting for?! Let’s capture all those gummy grins and chubby cheeks before it’s too late! Just click on the Contact tab above to schedule your Grow With Me session. I can’t wait to see your sweet babies and create special memories just for you!

Traveling Tot Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography, Child Photographer near RAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath

Turning one is fun and Noah‘s first birthday session was no exception. This little guy loves cars and trucks as well as exploring new places.

Noah wasn’t quite sure about the cake, opting instead to drive his cars through the frosting.

And as if cars and trucks weren’t enough, Noah was the epitome of a boy in these denim overalls. They were almost a perfect match to his sparkling blue eyes.

After a quick “call” on Dad’s cellphone, it was time for a few more bites of cake before calling it a day. Noah was hilarious making this very expressive face with each bite. Happy first birthday, Noah!!

Parisian Party Smash Cake Session – Footsteps Photography, Child Photographer near RAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath

Eliza’s one year Smash Cake session was a study in all things girly and sweet. We started with a British tea party where she was dressed to perfection in this ethereal mint and cream dress.

As you may have guessed by Eliza’s beautiful outfit, her mom works in fashion and made the stunning headbands you see in these photos. And what better setting for a little fashionista than the capitol of couture: Paris!

Eliza is one of the happiest babies I’ve had in a long time. Just look at her hamming it up for the camera!

This girl knows how to have her cake and eat it, too. Happy first birthday, Eliza!

Noah’s Ark 1 Year Grow With Me Session – Footsteps Photography, Child Photographer near RAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath

After a year of documenting this little guy from snuggly newborn to a toy munching butterball and a man on the move, Noah has finally made it to the big number ONE!

We met up at his house in order to capture some of his favorite things. You’ll notice he likes to chew the nose off his bear above – little goofball! And this bench is the perfect spot as it depict Noah and all the animals in his ark.

With two older brothers to look up to, Noah gets up to plenty of mischief. It’s hard to believe when you see this cute face, though. Happy first birthday, Noah!
