Introducing the Grow With Me Collection: Capturing Your Baby's First Year with Elizabeth Lang Photography

The first year of your baby's life is filled with incredible changes, and as a parent, you want to make sure these fleeting moments are captured forever. From the first days of your newborn to the excitement of their first birthday, every stage is so special. That’s why I’m thrilled to offer my Grow With Me Collection here at Elizabeth Lang Photography. This collection is designed to capture all of those precious milestones in your baby’s first year—starting from their newborn session and continuing through their 1st birthday celebration.

As a Surrey-based photographer just outside Vancouver, I understand how quickly your baby grows, and the Grow With Me Collection ensures that no milestone is missed. Let's dive into each stage of the journey and how we can document these moments together.


1. Newborn Session: The First Chapter of Your Baby's Story

The newborn session is the beginning of your baby’s photographic journey. Typically scheduled in the first two weeks, this session is all about capturing your baby’s tiniest details—perfectly curled hands, soft baby features, and the sleepy serenity that newborns radiate.

In my cozy studio, I’ll gently guide your baby into sweet, peaceful poses and use soft, neutral tones to create timeless photos that you’ll cherish forever. I also encourage incorporating sentimental props, like family heirlooms, blankets, or special items, which can add even more meaning to your photos. This session will create beautiful memories of the very beginning of your baby's life.

What to Expect:

  • Timeless poses like sleeping shots, hands and feet details, and family portraits.
  • Incorporating meaningful props (like a family heirloom or vintage blanket).
  • A warm and comfortable atmosphere, designed for your baby’s comfort.
  • Duration is 2- 3 hours long.

2. 4-Month Milestone: Baby’s Growing Personality

By the time your baby reaches 4 months, their personality is starting to shine. At this stage, your little one is likely smiling, holding their head up, and showing their budding curiosity about the world. It’s a perfect time to schedule a 4-month photoshoot, which focuses on capturing those genuine smiles, early tummy time, and moments of bonding with you.

At this age, your baby may still be a little wobbly but eager to engage. I love to capture moments of your baby looking at you with love, interacting with their surroundings, and having fun with tummy time. The session will include both individual shots of your baby as well as parent poses where we can celebrate the bond you share.

What to Expect:

  • Bright smiles, tummy time poses, and playful expressions.
  • Parent and baby shots to document the growing connection.
  • A short and relaxed session that focuses on your baby’s developmental milestones.
  • Duration 30-45 Minutes.

3. 7-8 Month Milestone: Sitting, Crawling, and Becoming Mobile

By 7-8 months, your baby is likely sitting up on their own, starting to crawl, and becoming more independent. These milestones are so exciting to capture! Your baby will be more interactive and curious, and this is when I love documenting those first moments of mobility—whether it's sitting upright, starting to crawl, or exploring their world in new ways.

The 7-8 month session is all about capturing your baby’s growing independence and personality. This is also when we’ll take a mix of individual portraits as well as family photos, celebrating how far your baby has come. The best part? The joy your baby brings as they interact with you, play, and start showing off their unique personality.

What to Expect:

  • Sitting, crawling, and exploring moments.
  • Fun family portraits as you interact with your baby.
  • A relaxed session focused on capturing playful, authentic moments.
  • Duration 30-45 Minutes.

4. 1st Birthday Milestone: The Big Celebration

The 1st birthday photoshoot is a true milestone. At this stage, your baby is no longer a newborn, but a curious, excited one-year-old with a personality all their own. This session is a celebration of everything they’ve learned and grown into in the past year, and it’s also a wonderful way to commemorate their big first birthday.

The 1st birthday session is often the most joyful. Whether you choose a cake smash or prefer a simple, clean look with family portraits, this session is about celebrating your baby's first year of life with photos that you'll treasure forever. If your baby is standing or walking by this age, I’ll capture those moments of movement and independence as well. Plus, we'll include plenty of photos with you, as parents, to document the love and bond you share as a family.

What to Expect:

  • Family portraits, cake smash (if desired), and candid moments of your baby’s personality.
  • Milestone moments, like standing or walking, and big birthday smiles.
  • A session that captures the joy of your baby turning one.
  • Duration: Around 45 minutes to 1 hour.
