Are you eager to document your journey of welcoming a new little one to your family? The First Year Collection is one of the most meaningful ways to document your baby’s story. From the quiet anticipation of pregnancy to the happy celebration of a first birthday, this season of life deserves to be remembered intentionally

At Rose and Oak Photography, I have the honor of walking alongside so many families year after year.

Watching your babies grow is one of the greatest gifts of this work. As a mom of four, I know just how quickly that first year passes. One moment you are cradling your bump, feeling those tiny kicks. The next, you are holding a sleepy newborn wrapped in soft neutral tones, breathing in that fresh baby smell. Not to mention when they start sitting up, crawling, walking!! All the things! 

That is exactly why I created this specific collection.

Over the span of 15 to 18 months, we will document three to four thoughtfully planned sessions. Most families choose to include a maternity session, a newborn session, a sitter session (around six months), and a first birthday session. (Yes, that can be the iconic cake smash session!) 

Why Choose The First Year Collection?

This experience was designed to reduce the mental load for busy families. When you book this package, your sessions are already in motion. You do not have to remember when to schedule each milestone. I will reach out to you when it is time. You can rest easy knowing your baby’s journey is being beautifully preserved along the way

Each milestone flows naturally into the next. The anticipatory maternity photos. The sleepy newborn portraits. The bright eyes and chubby legs at six months. The wobbly steps and joyful expressions at one year. Every stage matters. Every detail tells part of you & baby’s story.

Here’s a snapshot of what that would look like!

I documented baby B from bump to first year, and we had the most fun at every session. We even swapped donuts for the traditional cake smash photos, and it was a hit!

While I was pulling images for this post, I got chills just watching her grow up through these photos. Make sure you scroll all the way through to see her evolution. 

The First Year Collection is now available, and I would love to walk this season with you. You can inquire directly here to begin planning your baby’s story.
