The Collective

a heartfelt journey

It’s all in the details…..

“The Collective,” where every moment of your precious first year is cherished and celebrated. Embrace the magic of those early days, from the anticipation of maternity to the joy of baby’s first steps and everything in between.

In “The Collective,” we offer you the freedom to curate your own story, selecting from a combination of two or more sessions that hold special meaning to you. Whether it’s the tender moments of maternity, the innocence of newborn smiles, the playful tummy time, the excitement of sitting up, or the monumental first-year milestones, we’re here to capture it all.

For a creative fee of $900, you’ll enjoy up to four signature sessions over the course of 18 months, either in my cozy studio, in your home, or amidst the beauty of your favorite outdoor location. It’s a tailor-made experience designed to beautifully document your little one’s journey through their first year of life.

As a member of “The Collective,” you’ll become part of my exclusive family, with sweet member benefits and incentives. Say goodbye to additional creative fees, enjoy a generous 20% discount on our stunning wall art, albums, and digital collections. Plus, with priority scheduling, you’ll never have to worry about missing out on capturing those precious moments.

And the perks don’t stop there. From seasonal sessions to special Santa visits and the tender moments of my Annual Celebrate Motherhood Event, I am here to make every memory count.

When it comes to preserving your memories, I believe in quality and authenticity. That’s why you’ll have the opportunity to purchase digital files and artwork after each session, ensuring that every precious moment is preserved for a lifetime.

And what better way to commemorate “The Collective” than with a beautiful end-of-the-year album or a stunning series of wall art serving as a timeless tribute to your journey together?

For the sentimental mama, who wants to hold onto every little detail…

THIS IS WHY I’VE PUT TOGETHER

THIS SWEET JOURNEY

Babies don’t keep

You want to hold on to every precious moment, but you know that if you blink, it might slip away. It’s incredible how much a baby transforms in just a year. She evolves from a tiny, delicate bundle nestled in your arms to a lively little person bursting with personality, and it happens so fast that you can hardly keep up.

The First Year Collective is perfect for moms who want to cherish every moment. You never want to forget how she felt snuggled up in your arms, or the way her eyes lit up with pure joy when she saw you smile. You treasure every milestone, from her first time sitting up, to crawling, and then walking on her own with those tiny, determined steps.

You want to remember the challenging days, but savor the sweet ones. Because this journey you’re on, mama? It’s something truly special.

Capturing moments when babies can sit up on their own is a joyous occasion filled with smiles and unique personalities! Typically occurring between 6-8 months of age, this stage is perfect for cherishing those adorable features like chubby thighs, cheeks, and tiny feet.
