The Most Beloved Collection
The Baby's First Year Collective
The essential portrait collection for moms who never want to forget the baby stage.
Whether you are a mom who worries she’s missing so much while chasing that big career goal or a mom who feels like no amount of time with your baby is enough, our Baby’s First Year collective was designed exactly for YOU.
You’ve dreamed of having a baby since you were a little girl...
...But did you know that you only get ONE year in the baby stage (wait, what?!).
Your baby will change within a blink of an eye going from a tiny, helpless newborn to a walking, talking toddler in just one year. WOAH. You won’t believe how fast it all goes until you're celebrating your baby's first birthday.
I know, because I’ve experienced it twice over, and I regret not documenting more of my babies while they were actually a baby. And that’s exactly why I created the Baby’s First Year Collective to save other moms the heartache I’ve experienced upon realizing the baby days are over (cue the waterworks).
As part of the first year collective,
We will document your baby at every major milestone, capturing all those precious changes as your baby grows.
Our photos will transport you back to those magical feelings, from your heart overflowing with gratitude looking at your tiny baby who fits so perfectly in your arms to beaming with pride as your baby learns to walk holding your hands.
Choose 3 or 4 of our Bespoke Sessions below.
Maternity Session
Your pregnancy brings the most beautiful time in your life and the beginning of your baby’s story. This season in both of your lives deserves to be documented.
We promise to make you look and feel amazing while we capture this exciting season!
Newborn Session
Documenting all that new baby goodness that fades away oh so quickly. The wrinkly knees, the flaky skin, the way their tiny fingers wrap around yours, the way they snuggle right into your chest…we document it all.
We not only document your new tiny bundle of joy but your first family portraits.
6 Month Session
Also known as our "sitter session," it's the blissful baby stage where we capture all those quintessential baby habits- sitting, tummy time, grabbing their tiny feet, that gummy smile and how they adoringly giggle at Mom and Dad!
First Birthday Session
Your baby is now a walking, babbling, almost toddler!
Celebrate with classic portraits and a simple cake smash at the end of your session.
“I knew as a first time mom I wouldn't want to miss a single moment and the Collective offered us the opportunity to capture the milestone moments of our son's first year. It was the BEST decision because as a new parent all I want to do now is freeze time. The Collective is the next best thing.”

What's Included?
I know the stress of getting ready for your session while trying to wrangle your kids, which is why I’ve created a “day of” experience that will make you feel pampered and taken care of. On the day of your session, my hair and makeup artists will be at the ready for you, and when it is time for your session, you will get dressed in your freshly steamed wardrobe. ALL of our sessions include:
Wardrobe Styling
Hair & Makeup
Artwork Design
Wardrobe Styling
Personal styling with a curated wardrobe of over 300 dresses for mom and coordinating outfits for the whole family so you don’t have to stress about what to wear!
Hair & Makeup
We know moms are usually the last to get ready, rushing to throw on some mascara to get to your session on time. We will have our professional hair and makeup artist on hand to pamper you and make sure you look relaxed, rested, and beautiful for your session!
Artwork Design
Deciding what to do with your images can be very overwhelming, so together we will design the perfect artwork that best suits your home and your family.
Installation
Hanging frames can be quite a challenge, but don't worry we will take care of it all for you! Once your artwork is ready, we will set an appointment to come to your house to install your gallery for you!

“I feel genuinely lucky to be a collective member. Kristin and her team know exactly when to plan the sessions so that you capture each of your baby's most special milestones. After having completed one Collective with Kristin, I knew that it was something that I would do for all of my children.”
— Laura Meyerle
“Time flies by with a newborn, and I worried that with our second baby we would get caught up in all the craziness of life and only have our random iPhone pictures saved somewhere in a folder. The Collective guarantees that you have those memories of your baby in the moments you won't ever get back.”
