FIRST BIRTHDAY PHOTOGRAPHY IN WOODSTOCK, ONTARIO
Celebrate your baby's first year with milestone photos (and a little cake, of course!)
Congrats, you made it through the first year of parenthood (because documenting this milestone is as much about your baby as it is about you).
Can you believe your baby is almost one already?
Whether it’s your first or third baby, you’ll love looking back on their first birthday photos for years to come.
I'll have everything ready for your family on your session day: hair and makeup for you, wardrobe for everyone, and a studio ready with everything your little one could want (so we can focus on having fun!).

One Year Baby Photography Sessions on the Blog:
So, you’re wondering…
-
Reach out around 3 months before your baby’s first birthday (so when your baby is around 8-9 months!).
-
Absolutely! All first year sessions include a tiny cake for your little one to enjoy and mark this milestone. Some families choose not to include cake, and that’s okay, too! It all depends on what is right for your family. Some families choose an in-studio session with family portraits, cake and a bath. Other families choose a simple family session to commemorate this milestone. During our discovery call we can chat about what’s right for your family!
-
Access to our studio wardrobe is included for your baby’s first birthday session! I have an extensive studio wardrobe with hundreds of pieces for the whole family, including beautiful dresses for mom, shirts for dad and the most adorable outfits for your little one. I usually recommend choosing 2 or 3 outfits for variety.
-
A resounding, YES! All of our sessions are family sessions so including all of your immediate family is HIGHLY encouraged. I am truly a toddler whisperer and will ensure the session is fun for older siblings as well.
-
Yes, I do! The First Year Membership is a membership program for families looking to document their baby’s first year. Families save when they book 3 or 4 Signature Sessions during their baby’s first 18 months. Members save big on session fees and receive a $250 album credit per session as well as birth announcements. You can learn more about the First Year Membership here.

Sessions are photographed outdoors at our favourite meadow or in my private studio in North Woodstock. Outdoor sessions are scheduled a couple of hours before sunset for that beautiful warm light you see throughout my portfolio. Studio sessions scheduling can be a little more flexible so we can shoot around your little one’s naptime. Each type of session has its benefits and we can chat more about what’s best for you during your discovery call.
-
Absolutely! On the morning of your session, Sarah, our professional hair & makeup artist, will come to your home to get you ready. Sarah is incredible at what she does and will ensure you don’t have to fret about getting yourself ready on session day. After a relaxing morning in her chair, you can come to the studio in your comfies and all your wardrobe pieces will be washed, steamed and waiting for you.
-
I pride myself on a quick turnaround time, and will have your proofs ready 7-10 days after your session day. Immediately after your session we’ll book a time for you to return for your ordering appointment and select your favourites. One week after your session is typically when this is scheduled. If you purchase digitals, you will leave the ordering appointment with your final images. Artwork & albums are typically ready for installation/delivery 6-12 weeks after your ordering appointment.
-
Absolutely! Digital collections are available for purchase. You have the option of digital downloads, a USB, or both. Digital collections are always high resolution (no watermarks or web-only restrictions, here) and you can take them to your lab of choice to be printed in any size. The majority of families I work with actually earn their digital collection for free after a qualifying purchase of artwork, album or gallery wall.
-
My job isn’t complete until you are holding your memories in your hands. After your session we’ll meet at the studio where you’ll see your images for the first time. During our appointment we’ll select your favourite memories and collaborate on designing framed artwork, gallery walls or albums. My newborn clients love being able to build an album over multiple photo sessions to tell the story of your baby’s first year.
-
I have LOTS of experience photographing multiples, and I’d never dream of charging extra for a twins, triplets or beyond session! We will ensure your session is captured in the most relaxed way possible (even if your hands are quite literally full). I will ensure your babies have solo images as well as those adorable sibling images, too!
