Watch Me Grow

 These are easily my favorite child photography sessions. You are able to watch your child grow through the first year of their life. As your newborn grows, they will start reaching new milestones such as sitting, crawling, walking, and talking. Those milestones are great, but Ali’s favorite milestones are the personality driven milestones. She loves being able to see a baby recognize the face of their parents, smile, become shy, and watch their personalities develop. It brings photographers so much joy to be able to see their little clients grow up. Capturing those fleeting memories for parents is what drives Ali to do these different newborn, family, and child photography sessions. Ali’s expression sessions are just perfect for capturing these social milestones. These sessions can be done separately from a regular session, or they can be done during your session. This is one of my most popular requested photos for birth announcement cards as well as first birthday cards.

Grow baby, Grow!

The image above showcases an expression session done for the first six months of a child’s life. Do you see just how much a child changes between birth and six months? Children develop and grow so quickly in the first few years of their life. Growing quickly is one of the main reasons Ali became a Cedar Rapids child photography studio. Ali has grown to incorporate these images regularly into her studio session workflow. Expression images tend to be the thing that parents don’t know they want until they see it. 

Never Too Old

These expression sessions are not just for your child’s first year. These can be done anytime throughout your child’s life. These little sessions are just perfect for capturing the essence of their personality. This is the perfect little session, or addition to your session to allow their true spirit to show! It is so entertaining to see all their little expressions come out, and love watching parent’s reactions when looking through their expression images recognizing each look.
