The First Year Story

I’ve been dreaming up something new, and I’d love to make it part of your family’s story.

The First Year Story is a way to document that whole wild, beautiful first year, starting with pregnancy and ending with that very special first birthday.

We’ll capture the big things, of course, but also all those little things you swear you’ll remember and somehow change so quickly: your growing belly, those sleepy newborn days at home, their little personality starting to come through, the first year of growing, changing, and becoming a tiny little person.

And there’s something really nice about having it all planned ahead. You don’t have to remember to book a photographer when the next milestone rolls around, wonder if they’ll have availability, or suddenly realize, “Oh my goodness, they’re turning one!”

It’s already taken care of. You get to enjoy the year, and I’ll be there to photograph it along the way.

THE INVESTMENT

The full First Year Story is $1,000 + GST and includes four sessions:

Maternity

A relaxed outdoor session in Calgary.

Newborn

An intimate session at home, just as you are in those early days.

Halfway to One

A little snapshot of who your baby is becoming.

First Birthday

A fun, messy, very one-year-old cake smash to finish the story.

The regular value of the four sessions is $1,305, but the First Year Story is $1,000 + GST.

You can split the investment into two payments: 50% when you book and 50% on your final session.

Take a peek through this gallery, featuring a cute cake smash session just for fun. If you’re a couple who’d love to document your journey from pregnancy to that first birthday, let’s connect!

I’d love to spend a little bit of this first year with you.

Four milestones

The story of the first year

A collection of four sessions that together document the journey from pregnancy through your baby's first birthday.

Chapter 01 · Third trimester

Maternity

A quiet portrait of the beginning: light, movement, and the anticipation of who is coming.

Chapter 02 · First two weeks

Newborn

Soft, unhurried moments at home while everything is still new. Skin, breath, and small hands.

Chapter 03 · Around six months

Six-Month Session

First smiles, sitting up, discovering the world. A session made for the in-between.

Chapter 04 · The first year, complete

First Birthday Session

A celebration of the year: a cake, bare feet, the smallest hands you'll ever remember this size.
