From Sleepless Nights to Forever Memories: Capturing Your Baby’s First Year with Shelly Sims Photography specializes in newborn and milestone photography in Owasso.
The newborn stage is a blur of love, coffee, and survival mode. You spend your days memorizing every tiny sound and stretch because you already know how fast it all changes. As a photographer who specializes in newborn and milestone photography in Owasso, I love helping families preserve these fleeting moments — from those first sleepy snuggles to the joyful chaos of their first birthday.
Because your baby’s story deserves to be remembered — not just the beginning, but every chapter.
Your newborn session is all about tenderness. It’s the milk-drunk smiles, the soft curls, the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms. You’re still figuring out feedings and schedules — and that’s okay.
My job is to freeze those fleeting first days so you can look back and actually see what you were too tired to notice at the time.
Then one day, your baby giggles. They sit up. They grab your hair or your heart (or both). And you realize your newborn isn’t so new anymore.
That’s where milestone sessions come in — those 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month moments that show your baby’s personality shining through. Whether it’s chubby cheeks, gummy grins, or a frosting-covered first birthday, these sessions tell the next part of their story.
As your baby grows, so does your family’s story. The tiny bundle from your newborn session becomes the toddler racing across my studio floor. You’ve grown too — from nervous new parents to confident, joy-filled pros (even if you still forget the diaper bag sometimes).
It’s one of my favorite parts of what I do — watching families grow, watching moms find their rhythm, and helping tell your story every step of the way.
One day, those sleepless nights will feel like a lifetime ago.
And when you walk past your walls — lined with tiny fingers, first steps, and frosting-covered grins — you’ll remember what it felt like to love this deeply in every season.
Your baby’s story doesn’t end with the newborn session.
It’s just getting started. 💛
PS: If your baby is growing faster than your coffee supply can handle, now’s the perfect time to plan your next session. I’ll take care of the details — you just bring the giggles.
