The First Year Collective is a photography membership designed to document your baby’s first year with ease and intention. Based in Northwest Arkansas, this experience includes multiple milestone sessions in either our Bentonville studio, outdoors, or your home, depending on the season and your preferences. From those early months to the first birthday, every detail is thoughtfully handled so you can stay present and enjoy this fleeting year.
Savor every milestone... BECAUSE YOUR BABY DESERVES THE BEST.
Baby's First Year Photography Membership in Northwest Arkansas
You want to remember every sweet little detail, but you know that if you blink, you'll miss it. It’s amazing how much a baby changes in a year. She goes from a tiny thing sleeping in your arms to a little person full of personality before you can even begin to wrap your head around what’s happening.
The first Year Collective is perfect for moms who never want to forget a moment. You never want to forget how she felt snuggled up in your arms. How amazing it was when her eyes lit up with joy when she saw you smile. How proud you were at each milestone, from sitting to crawling, to walking on her own.
You want to remember the hard days, but savor the sweet ones.
Because this journey that you’re on, mama?
It’s pretty extraordinary.
Stephanie has documented every milestone of our lives and we couldn't be more thrilled!
By six months, your baby will have doubled in size.

Or, maybe you want to create a baby book of your sweet infant that documents each milestone, but putting it together yourself sounds like a daunting task.
The First Year Collective allows you to document each milestone and turn it into custom artwork, thoughtfully designed and installed, so your baby’s story lives beautifully in your home.
Watch your Baby Grow
You may already picture a wall in your home that tells the story of your family, but finding the time or knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.

Choose a signature session either in studio or outdoors. Most maternity sessions take place between 32-34 weeks, and First Year Collective clients receive priority access to our limited outdoor dates.
Newborn sessions take place in our Bentonville studio, designed so you can simply arrive and relax. We typically photograph newborns between the first 5-14 days to ensure best results.
6 Months
first birthday
Often a favorite for parents, milestone sessions capture your baby’s personality as it begins to shine. Whether they’re sitting, laughing, or proudly showing off those rolls, this stage often becomes your family’s first portrait.
Your sweet little babe is now a toddler- he'll seem like a completely different baby than he was at his six month session! A studio cake smash is also included with your First Year Collective to document this sweet milestone.
The First Year Collective is customizable and we regularly photograph other milestones as well. Get in touch and we'll create the perfect collective for you!
I was nervous taking photos with a newborn, but Stephanie made the whole experience quick and easy. My anxiety at our 6 month and 1 year photos was nonexistent because I had seen the magic Stephanie can work!
I loved that she has wardrobe... that was huge in lowering my stress level and lessening the never-ending “to-do” list. Her makeup artist is fantastic too.
We have a beautiful album and also had Stephanie create a feature wall of photos for us that can continue to grow as we add to our family.
Truly cannot say enough positive things about our experience!
