Every Chapter, Beautifully Remembered
From maternity and newborn photography to milestone sessions and first birthday portraits, this collection tells the story of your family’s first year together. Each session flows seamlessly into the next, capturing every milestone — the anticipation, the first smiles, the first steps. My goal is to make this journey effortless and meaningful, so you can be fully present while I document the moments you’ll want to relive forever. These images come together as a love story — your story — told through every stage of growth.

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
First Year photography sessions can take place in my New Richmond photography studio, outdoors throughout the St. Croix Valley, or occasionally in your home for a more relaxed lifestyle approach.

Absolutely. Heirloom Year photography sessions are centered around connection and storytelling, so parents and siblings are always encouraged to participate throughout the journey.
can parents and siblings be included?
Most milestone photography sessions take place around 3–4 months, 6–8 months when baby is sitting independently, and again around the first birthday, though every collection can be customized to fit your family.
WHEN ARE MILESTONE SESSIONS SCHEDULED?
Heirloom Year photography sessions are gently paced and vary depending on the milestone being documented, allowing plenty of time for connection, breaks, movement, and a relaxed experience throughout every stage of your baby’s first year.
HOW LONG DOES EACH SESSION LAST?
The Heirloom Year includes a series of maternity, newborn, milestone, and first birthday photography sessions designed to beautifully document your baby’s first year from beginning to first steps.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE HEIRLOOM YEAR?
Baby’s first year changes incredibly quickly, and the Heirloom Year allows families to preserve each chapter — from anticipation and newborn snuggles to first smiles and first steps — through one beautifully connected story.
WHY DO FAMILIES CHOOSE THE HEIRLOOM YEAR?
Most families reserve their Heirloom Year photography collection during the second trimester to ensure availability for maternity, newborn, and milestone sessions throughout baby’s first year.
