The Fotoplicity BIRTHDAY CLUB
A Tradition Worth Growing Into
There is something about birthdays.
Every year, your child changes — sometimes in big, obvious ways… and sometimes in the quiet little details you don't notice until you look back.
The gap in their smile.
The way they still lean into you.
The confidence that grows year after year.
The Birthday Club began as a way for my full-session families to document those in-between years without waiting for the next big milestone session.
It has since become one of my favorite traditions.
And now, twice per year, I open a limited number of Birthday Club Access Memberships for families who would like to begin the tradition, too.
How The Birthday Club Works
Birthday Sessions are short, relaxed, and designed to celebrate your child during their birthday month.
→ Only $50 session fee
→10-15 minute session focused on your child
→ One included digital image
→ Options for additional images, prints & products
→ Studio or outdoor location
Session booking is released via a personal booking invitation at the beginning of your child’s birthday month.
$50 Session Fee
Sessions are limited to specific dates and times each month. The session lasts 10-15 minutes and there are always studio and outdoor options available. An online proofing gallery will be sent within a week containing a handful of the best images from the session.
For My Full-Session Families
If you have booked a full family session with me, your Birthday Club access is complimentary for two years following your session.
This has always been my way of saying thank you for trusting me with your family memories.
For families who are not current full-session clients, I offer a limited-access membership twice per year.

Sure beats the annual school photos, right?
