One Year of Baby Milestone Photos
If you’ve ever heard a friend, relative or even yourself lamenting the fact that you didn’t get more photos of specific baby milestones, then take note. Pixels On Paper Photography offers a “Baby’s First Year Photo Package” that we thoughtfully put together so that you’d never look back in regret. We’ve just recently wrapped up photographing a full year of photos for this recently turned one year old, Holten Parker.
Newborn Baby Photos
Newborn portraits are first, of course. You cannot have a Baby Package with no baby. Labor is over and now comes the fun part: raising this little angel through the first year. Don’t worry; you can do it and so too can you get those newborn portraits taken. Part of our studio is designed specifically for these sessions, with a lovely and private place to rest, nurse and change. We suggest that you bring in your new bundle sometime during their first 10 days. We make it easy on you! This isn’t our first rodeo.
Six Month Old Baby Photos
At six months, we bring families back in for more portraits or in this case an outdoor location. Babies are ready to sit up – making them perfect models – but they are not yet walking, so we can get them alert and happy, curious and surrounded by siblings, toys, lights or in a theme. At six months, they are incredibly responsive and some of the best portraits we get are at these sessions.
One Year Old Photos
At one year, it’s time for a party, so families who buy this package set up cake smashes, celebrate on location, at our studio, with a theme, costume changes – you name it. Kiddos at one year may or may not be walking, but they are alert, are showing their personalities and are ready for their close ups.
Holten comes from a long line of football heritage. In this case we used props from his one year birthday celebration to create a custom and unique football themed one year cake smash photo backdrop in our photography studio.
The full year baby photos package deal
For newborn, six month and one year sessions, clients receive a 10 x 10 custom designed album that includes all of your favorite images, as well as an 8 x 10 portrait from each session at the end of the year. If you choose to add a maternity shoot, it’s a minimal upgrade and completely worth it. The baby package also comes with a 20% discount on all card orders, so you can send announcements or holiday cards using these images and maximize your package.
We hope you’ll call us if your curious, have questions or want to chat about the news that you’re expecting (CONGRATULATIONS!).

Newborn Photos Magdelyn Gwynn
How do I love being behind the camera capturing shots of newborns? Let me count the ways, people!! This precious nugget is the daughter of a couple whose wedding we shot 6 years ago. Meghann and Josh had a gorgeous mountain top event that was outside, colorful and filled with so much joy. I remember it like it was yesterday. After their honeymoon, they continued to be pet parents, and proceeded into their new life with vigor and no real thoughts of parenting actual humans on the horizon.
Enter Magdelyn Gwynn. I imagine a movie director’s jump cut to today, where we all find ourselves besotted with Maggie. There were several moments during this newborn photography session that brought each of us to tears. She is absolutely precious in every way that newborns are, and these two are amazing parents.
Meghann shared that she had a theme in mind for the portraits when she contacted me, and together we worked to create it for the nursery and for these portraits. The palette was inspired by the couple’s trip to Hawaii, and along with the flowers and other accessories – including a purple heirloom blanket that was woven on an actual loom by a family member – made for some images that will become heirlooms themselves.
One of our favorite shots from their 2016 wedding (above) was inspiration for several images I took of Maggie. Wrapped up in her mom’s gown, she looks like a little angel floating in a bedding of clouds. We even used Meghann’s garter as a headband for Maggie. I love the effect. She looks crowned like a princess weighting to grow up to reign – and enjoy cheddar goldfish.
Maggie’s parents are App State alums and boosters, so we included Mountaineers paraphernalia, as well as a helmet of Josh’s from high school. It doesn’t ALL have to be frilly. Josh is already so incredibly in love with his daughter, but when we’d arranged her into the helmet and gear, he got a little emotional. I love how these images turned out too. Her little golden tutu and crossed legs are the cutest.
There will be more images of little Maggie to come in the months ahead, and I for one cannot wait to see her again. Welcome to the wide world, little dumpling.

Walker’s One Year Portrait Photos
Walker Tibbett DID IT! He made it to his first birthday and was helped along by the child favorite “Little Blue Truck” and all the fanfare and cuteness that comes with it. Walker belongs to the Joey and Brooke Tibbett – a couple we have photographed and loved for years!
Mom and Dad – while not featured in this particular blog – are two of the sweetest people we’ve met and had take advantage of our wedding and one year baby package, so we’ve been fans of theirs for a while. Their engagement portraits, wedding, Brooke’s maternity portraits, Walker’s newborn and 6 month images will tell you everything you need to know. There is love in abundance. [You know what? Don’t even look at those links. You’ll be overwhelmed…] This family and this kid pack on more cute than the average human can take.
If you missed the spoiler in the images, go back.
Joey and Brooke are expecting their second child and sweet Walker is going to be a big brother! Brooke bought the t-shirt and wanted it included to make the announcement. Congratulations, you guys and Happy Birthday to Walker.

Awww, Sweetness……..Baby Faces!
Gearing up for Valentine’s Day has me thinking about the unadulterated cuteness of the babies I’m honored to photograph. For maternity sessions, I am engaged in capturing the excitement and anticipation of the parents. After that, my time with newborns and babies is an embarrassment of riches. Their big eyes looking for friendly faces, if not meaning yet, their crazy cute features from lashes to teeny toes, the expressions they make, the outfits and settings mothers and I concoct, …. it’s all heaven. So here’s to baby faces I love.
If you are expecting or know someone who is, we hope you will contact us or encourage them to. Maternity, newborn, 6 month, one year portraits are my jam, as a photographer and a mom. I would love to meet and work with you to capture those memories and milestones.
