The First Year
Baby Photography in Allen, TX: Grow With Me
Preserve your baby’s first year with the Grow With Me photography bundle at Lama’s Littles in Allen, Texas. From newborn portraits to baby milestones and a first birthday celebration, this collection brings your little one’s changing story together.
A year of tiny changes. One beautifully connected story. Three sessions preserve the stages that change fastest: the tiny newborn days, the sitting milestone, and your baby’s first birthday.
Lama’s Littles is a baby-led, safety-certified, full-service newborn and first-year photography studio in Allen, Texas, known for natural editing, all-inclusive galleries, and a calm, fully guided experience for Collin County families.
Each Grow-With-Me session is planned individually while maintaining a cohesive, timeless style across your baby’s first-year galleries. Every session is all-inclusive, with a curated gallery of the best photographs from each stage included in the collection.

A Connected First Year
One Studio Through
Baby’s First Year.
The Grow-With-Me Collection is designed to keep your baby’s first year connected from the beginning. Your newborn, milestone, and first-birthday sessions are reserved together, with one consistent photography style and one familiar studio experience as your baby grows.
Those familiar visits can become part of your family’s story. Read about a returning Carrollton family welcoming their second baby, after I photographed their older child’s newborn and cake smash sessions.
Each session is all-inclusive, so there is no image-selection process after your session. I carefully curate and hand-edit the strongest photographs from each stage, and your finished gallery is included.
You’ll receive guidance before every session while still having the flexibility to plan around your baby’s development, personality, and schedule.
Looking for maternity and newborn photographs together? The Bump to Baby bundle pairs maternity photographed by Manal Ansari with newborn photographs by Lama’s Littles. Grow With Me begins with newborn photography and continues through the milestone and first-birthday stages; maternity is not included.
After each visit, your finished gallery arrives within two weeks, with original-size and web-size downloads and 90 days of access from that gallery’s delivery date. You’re welcome to ask for black-and-white versions too. As your baby grows, optional albums, prints, and wall art can bring photographs from all three stages together in something you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Flexible Planning
Payment Plan
Reserve the Grow-With-Me Collection with a $250 non-refundable retainer.
