A simple photo plan for baby's first year
Five moments. One album. That's the year.
1. The first days — in the hospital
Day one or two, before the swelling settles and the curl relaxes. This is the one you cannot redo, which is why we come to your room.
2. The first real smile — about six weeks
Not gas, the real thing. Phone, window light, get down to their level and wait.
3. Sitting up — about six months
Personality arrives. Plain background, something to hold, and take twenty frames.
4. First steps — around a year
Video is better than photos here. Film wide and let them walk toward you.
5. The first birthday
One posed portrait, then cake. That's plenty.
Then print it
Put these five in one small album. In twenty years nobody will scroll a phone from 2026 — but they will open a book.
