The Baby Collective Explained; Capturing Your First Year Story

Nov 12

At Studio Brae, I believe that your baby’s first year isn’t just a season — it’s a beautifully unfolding story. Introducing The Baby Collective: a carefully crafted photo experience designed for families who want to preserve every milestone of that year with ease, intention, and timeless photographs.

Here’s how The Baby Collective helps you honor the journey, one moment at a time, and why it’s the perfect choice if you want to capture the whole story, not just a snapshot.

Why First Year Photography Matters

Your baby’s first year is full of “firsts”, first smile, first sit-up, first steps, first birthday candles. These moments may feel small in the moment, but when you look back, you’ll see how quickly time passed. At Studio Brae, I believe in preserving the little details: the fuzzy hair on the back of their neck, the gummy grin, the way their fingers curl.

Instead of one session, The Baby Collective gives you a framework to document this whole journey, so you don’t have to worry about scheduling each milestone separately or scrambling to coordinate when time flies.

What The Baby Collective Includes

The collection is designed to be simple, meaningful, and beautifully paced. You’ll get:

A newborn session (coming home or in-studio)
A sitter session (when your baby is able to sit)
A first-birthday or cake-smash session
A gallery of high-quality, edited images that flow together
A planning guide + wardrobe suggestions (so you arrive feeling calm and prepared)

Everything is styled with Studio Brae’s signature clean, warm, minimal aesthetic: no trendy overload, just timeless imagery you’ll love for years.

How It Works — The Simple, Stress-Free Process

1. Inquiry & Booking

You reach out, tell me your baby’s due date or milestone timing, and we secure your spot.

2. Session Planning

You’ll receive a session guide with details on wardrobe, locations, timing — everything you need so you can relax.

3. Sessions

We’ll capture each milestone in a calm, baby-led way that respects your pace. Whether in-home or in-studio, it’s all about your comfort and those genuine moments.

4. Gallery Delivery & Memories

After we’ve made memories, I curate your gallery. You’ll receive proof images quickly, choose your favorites, and I deliver your fully edited collection that flows as a story of your baby’s first year.

Why Choose The Baby Collective?

Ease & consistency — you won’t worry about booking separate sessions, or feeling behind as time passes.

Timeless aesthetic — your photos won’t look dated five years from now. They’re styled to feel classic and warm.

Intentional storytelling — each phase is acknowledged, each session builds on the last. Your baby’s story is captured from bump or newborn to first birthday.

For you, Mama — I’m a mama too. I know how fast this season moves, and this collection is designed to take the pressure off so you can just show up and enjoy the moment.
