Bringing a newborn into the world is one of life’s most tender, fleeting, and awe-inspiring experiences. Those first few weeks fly by in a haze of snuggles, soft cries, sleepless nights, and endless love – and before you know it, your once-tiny baby is rolling over, sitting up, and taking their first steps. That’s why you should consider First Year Membership for your newborn here at JCrane Photography. Because those changes? They happen fast. And you deserve to remember it all.

More Than Just a Session – It’s a Story

A membership is more than a series of photo shoots. It’s a way to document your baby’s full story, from sleepy newborn days to the squishy milestones at 6 months, and all the way to that cake-smashing, standing-on-their-own 1st birthday.

Each session builds on the last – creating a beautiful, cohesive collection of family portraits and infant photography that captures your baby’s unique journey.

As a Raleigh photographer, I hear it all the time from parents:

“I wish we had done more photos during their first year.”

And I get it. Life gets busy. You’re juggling feedings and naps and trying to figure out your new rhythm as a family. It’s easy to think, “We’ll schedule photos later,” and then, suddenly, later is gone.

Choosing a membership means you’ve already made space for the moments you’ll never get back. It’s a built-in reminder to pause, breathe, and preserve your memories before they pass by.

What’s Included in Membership for Your Newborn?

When you join my First Year Membership, you receive:

Three sessions over your baby’s first year (typically newborn, 6 months/sitter, and 1 year)
Priority booking (no stress about limited dates!)
Access to my client wardrobe for the whole family
Design services for your custom album or framed wall gallery
Savings over booking individual sessions

Whether you’re a first-time parent or welcoming your third, this membership is designed to remove the guesswork and give you the gift of consistency, ease, and beautiful documentation.

You Deserve More Than Phone Photos

Of course, there will be thousands of snapshots on your phone (and those are precious too). But professional newborn and milestone photography gives you something different: timeless imagery with intentionality, expert lighting, and heirloom quality.

Your child deserves to grow up seeing their story on the walls. You deserve to be in the frame, holding them close. Not hidden behind the camera or cropped out of every memory.

If you’re searching for infant photography, family portraits, or newborn photography near Raleigh, consider what it would feel like to have it all taken care of – from session planning to print delivery. That’s what membership gives you.

You don’t have to rush to book every milestone. You don’t have to plan outfits. You don’t even have to remember when it’s time – I’ll be here to guide you every step of the way.
