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!
