Welcoming a newborn into the family is a whirlwind of emotions and beautiful moments that pass by all too quickly. As mothers, we strive to capture every milestone, every smile, and every tiny detail, to soak it all in. Through my years of experience as a Sutherland Shire baby photographer, I know documenting a series of milestone stages throughout baby’s first year provides my clients with a beautiful story of their baby’s first year of life. These photographs become such cherished images to look back on as they grow.

BABIES DON’T STAY TINY FOR LONG

One of the key reasons many parents love the Baby’s First Year Collective is to document the remarkable changes babies undergo in their first year of life. From those tender newborn days to the first steps and beyond, each stage holds its own unique beauty, and goes by so so quickly!

A SEAMLESS AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR BABY

The experience is about documenting the story of your child from the very beginning, and celebrate the milestones, growth and change in their first year, and capturing their sweet personality throughout each session.
From the glow of anticipation in pregnancy, to the pureness of your newborn baby, where every tiny detail is lovingly captured, through to their first wobbly steps, each moment is crafted with care and attention. Your precious new baby is photographed within the relaxed atmosphere of the studio – never rushed – and ensuring both baby and family feel comfortable and at ease.

CAPTURING EACH MILESTONE IN A COHESIVE COLLECTION OF IMAGES

The series of sessions throughout baby’s first year allows you to capture the special milestones, in a collection of cohesive, timeless images.
With each milestone session, we capture the essence of each phase your baby is at, and all the smallest of details. The result is a stunning collection of images that showcase the baby’s growth, personality, and the love that surrounds them; images all work beautifully together as a set. This lends itself well for displaying your images on the walls or in a first year album, as each session’s images will blend together harmoniously to create incredible keepsakes of your baby’s first year.

THE PHOTOS ARE AS MUCH FOR YOU AS THEY ARE FOR YOUR BABY

Each session includes family photos, and photos of baby with each member of the family. The beautiful connections with each person, and the moments between you as a family as your baby grows, is something so special. You will be sure to treasure these images, but your baby will also be able to look back at the images of their first year and see the overwhelming love for them that started all the way back when they were still nestled in your womb.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT SARAH

As a lover of art, design, and the timeless craft of photography, I find my true bliss with a camera in hand, capturing moments that transcend the ordinary. 

From a young age, I eagerly borrowed my mother's Kodak cameras. Each click of the shutter ignited a profound curiosity within me, and couldn't wait to see what was revealed on the developed film. 
I've always been fascinated by the power of photography to capture raw emotion and preserve cherished memories, and how those humble photographs will tell our stories for generations to come.
