Your little nugget is having her first birthday soon and you just realized you have no professional images of her, expect for those newborn pictures you captured in those precious early days. It’s just the three of you now. Your little family has grown and changed so much in the last year; you’re missing something though…beautiful images of this new family to proudly display in your home.

Of course, you probably have millions of cellphone pics of her and even some selfies of the three of you. Maybe you even put together that Shutterfly photobook for grandma for Christmas, but what you’re really missing are those precious natural moments professionally captured, beautifully printed and mounted and hanging on the walls of your home.

You’re probably wondering to yourself, “Where did a year go?” It’s OK … it happens to all of us. So many things happening, so many things changing in that short period, it just slips your mind or you tell yourself, “I’ll get to it next month.” Before you know it, the next month and the next month and the next have come and gone and now here you are planning her first birthday and you have no images to represent your beautiful family of three.

We understand and want you to know that’s ok. There is no better time than now to capture your little one in professional photos. Guess what? You get to be in the photos too! Make it a new family tradition to have professional family photos made each year! One day, you’ll be able to look back at how precious your little one was at each stage of her life. These will also be pictures that she will cherish as she grows up and heads out into the world to embark on her own life adventure. She’ll have all these beautiful nuggets of memories in her pocket to reflect back on and know that she will always have you by her side, just like when she was a little girl.

So it’s time … you’ve thought about it today. Don’t let the busyness of your daily “to-do list” or the “I’ll do it tomorrows” stop you this time. Just pick up the phone and reach out to us. We’d love to capture your family before time goes by and she is out the door and the memories start to fade from one year to the next. Keep them alive with the beautiful images that you will cherish for many years to come … just like this family did! And you know what? Baby Stella loves her images. A series of four are hung over her changing table and every night Stella likes counting and kissing all the Stellas before she goes to sleep. It doesn’t get any cuter than that! I’m sure she will cherish them just as much when she is ready to leave the nest.
