year in the life ~ milwaukee’s childhood photographer

i am often asked what sort of “baby plan” i offer to document the milestones of baby’s first year.  six or seven years ago, i developed the ‘year in the life collection’ which was an instant hit and has proved to be very, very popular over the years.  in it’s current form, it involves 3 or 4 weekday sessions over the course of a bit more than a year, and a beautifully custom-designed coffee table book containing images from each session.   it’s really a wonderful way to capture a child’s first year (perhaps maternity, newborn, 7-8 months and one year) or even just your family over the seasons (building a snowman in the winter, puddle jumping in the spring, a lemonade stand in the summer, and the coveted fall colors portrait session in the fall).  i love seeing how families divvy up their sessions but most of all, i love getting to watch the babies grow up and for the older kids, seeing them often enough to develop a rapport with them.

so speaking of year in the life collections, this is this little dude’s 3rd session with me.  his first session was while he was in his mama’s belly, second was at just a few days old.

i want to eat him up! | milwaukee baby photographer

i love love love when clients choose the year in the life collection!  it’s 3-4 sessions over the course of a year and i love how well i get to know the family and the children in that time.  after the last session, we all sit down and go over all of the images and work on designing an amazing coffee table book that chronicles the year.  it’s great to lay out the images and see how much the family has changed.

a lot of families choose this option as a baby’s first year photo plan, but lots of other families take the opportunity to do four different concept sessions.  one outside (at a park, in their backyard, an urban session in the third ward), a documentary-style session at home, a birthday party, a cookie decorating day, a pajama party, whatever.  i love seeing how creative everyone gets!

here is a sweet little bub that is so cute i want to eat him up.  this is his third session in the year in the life collection.  we photographed him when he was still cozied up in his mama’s belly, and again when he was a teeny tiny delicious newborn.  now look how big he’s getting!
