From Newborn to First Birthday: Celebrating Milestones with an Indianapolis Child Photographer

I met this sweet boy when he was just days old. Bright eyes. Tiny fingers. Newborn perfection.

A Year of Milestones

His moms booked a Grow with Me package—four sessions during his first year. We started with his newborn session. Then a four-month milestone when he could hold his head up. Next was his sitter session at about seven months. And finally, this cake smash session to celebrate turning one.

Watching Him Grow

It’s amazing how much babies change in twelve short months. From sleepy snuggles to big smiles and giggles. I love watching little personalities come out at each milestone.

The Cake Smash Celebration

This session’s theme was Under the Sea. His cake was bright and colorful. He was all in—smashing, tasting, and laughing. Blue eyes sparkling the whole time.

Why Consistency Matters

Working with the same Indianapolis newborn photographer for a full year means every session feels comfortable and familiar. Kids warm up faster. Parents relax knowing exactly what to expect. And you get a complete story of your baby’s first year in pictures.

If you’re in the area and want to document your baby’s first year, I’d love to be your Indianapolis child photographer. Whether it’s a newborn session or a first birthday session in Indianapolis, these memories are worth capturing.
