Memphis portrait photographer for today's busy mom who wants gorgeous images and timeless fine art (without the hassle).

HOME OF THE BABY'S FIRST YEAR COLLECTIVE

the simplest + most refined way to

artfully document your baby's first year

Your baby's first year goes by in a blur. One moment you're waiting to meet them, and the next you're chasing a giggling toddler.

The First Year Collective is designed to make sure every milestone of that incredible first year is beautifully preserved...without you ever having to stress about scheduling or planning.

 

The collection includes three or four seamless sessions that can include:

• Maternity

• Newborn

• Six Months

• First Birthday

 

It's the simplest and most refined way to capture your baby's story from bump to first birthday. With each session, I'll handle all the details...wardrobe, hair + makeup for you, and the gentle guidance that makes your photos feel natural and timeless. At the end of the year, you'll have not just a gallery of images, but a collection of finished fine artwork for your home...a tangible legacy of your baby's first chapter.

kind Words from a memphis newborn photography client

If you need a newborn photographer, I cannot recommend Whitney enough. She truly goes above and beyond and doesn't miss a single detail. Whitney is the greatest and I'm so glad I chose her to capture these moments!
