The First Year Collective
Because the first year passes faster than you ever imagined.
One day you're holding a sleepy newborn in your arms. The next, you're chasing a giggling baby who is taking first steps and digging into birthday cake.
The First Year Collective was created to preserve every beautiful stage of your baby's first year—from newborn to sitter to first birthday.
Choose 3–5 sessions throughout your baby's first year, and we'll help you create something far more meaningful than digital files on a phone: heirloom artwork and albums your family will enjoy for generations.
What's Included
3–5 Signature Sessions during baby's first year
Wardrobe access for the family
Professional hair & makeup for mom
Planning and design guidance
Baby-led, relaxed sessions
Custom framing and installation
Heirloom album design
You simply show up. We take care of the rest.
A Full-Service Experience
For over 22 years, Kim Kelley Photography has helped families preserve their most meaningful moments.
As a full-service newborn, milestone, and family photographer serving Eupora, Starkville, Tupelo, Columbus, Madison, and surrounding Mississippi communities, our focus has always been the same:
Creating beautiful photographs and helping families enjoy them every day.
Because your baby's first year deserves more than a folder on your phone.
Many families choose to include the First Year Collective album as the cornerstone of their finished artwork. There is a 36 image minimum for First Year Collective albums.
The Finished Artwork Matters Most
The purpose of the First Year Collective isn't simply to take photographs.
It's to create something your child can hold decades from now… something they can show their own children one day.
Many families choose a beautiful heirloom album that tells the story of their baby's first year from beginning to end. Others create gallery walls filled with framed portraits that become part of their family's home and legacy.
“I would recommend Kim Kelley Photography to anyone, but specifically a tired mama!
Seriously, all I had to do was show up -
My hair and makeup was done at the studio - she was so sweet and styled me exactly how I asked her to, there was a wardrobe with options for each family member, toys and snacks for them, a charcuterie board was provided for us and Kim even sent me home with a happy!
The whole experience was a dream!”
