Lizzy Yates Photography: Little Rock Newborn , Child and Family Photographer » Little Rock Photographer Lizzy Yates {Newborn, Children, Seniors and Families}

I am a big advocate of the “first year package.” I know that everyone says it goes fast, but until you are in it you can’t understand. Often times you don’t even feel it happening.

I don’t believe that first year packages need to be done at assigned ages. In fact, I think that doing so can be a disservice to my clients. For example, the truth is that a newborn and three month old are entirely different. The biggest difference is that the 3 month old is awake and wiggly.

Instead, I tell clients that we should do sessions based on milestones. For example pushing up, sitting, pulling up etc. That way you document the ages but your images look different and show the growth of your little one.

I also firmly believe that getting pictures done shouldn’t be stressful or something that you dread. I want people to actually look forward to them. That’s why I do not require that the “first year package,” be used in its entirety within a year. Life gets crazy!

When I am hired to photograph a birth I sometimes, only half joking, say that I am mostly being paid to capture one image. The image where the baby crosses the line from one place to the other. When they emerge into what is surely a blinding light. It is truly one of the coolest things to witness.

Sometimes there is a lot of pressure for kids to be perfect during pictures.  To behave, to sit, to smile.  Well for me, its not about perfect.  It is about getting pictures that my clients love and that reflect their lives and the personalities of their family.

This is my favorite kind of image.  He was running around, he was busy, he wasn’t real interested in photos….and he loves his dad.  So we get this!  I love it.
