Watch Me Grow Photography - Calgary Newborn & Family Photographer

Watch Me Grow Photography - Calgary Newborn & Family Photographer Moments should be preserved, .... ones you can look back on and feel the raw emotion rising within t Hello! It’s a time for you to shine and be treated as a VIP.

I am Michele Sortland, a newborn and family photographer in Calgary and surrounding area. Watch Me Grow Photography doesn't just provide family’s with their moments frozen in time but also an experience! One that mimics going out for coffee with an old friend, or game night giggles with the family. I offer in-studio and on location sessions. With my studio work, I do love keeping things simple and

the focus is of baby, you and your family. Classic images that will never go out of style or dated. The foundation of my work is a neutral palette while incorporating pops of colour once in a while. With my on-location work, I love capturing a balance of you and the environment; creating an image that carries a story to remember for years to come. Whether you are looking to capture your baby-bump, newborn, baby's milestones, or update your family portrait, I am confident that my dedication and attention to every detail will surpass your expectations.

🎄 2026 CHRISTMAS QUICKIE SESSIONS 🎄

This year’s Christmas setups are here — and I’m so excited about them. 🥰

I wanted to create something that feels simple, timeless, playful, and completely focused on your little ones — a Christmas tradition you can return to year after year and watch your family grow.

🎄 CRANBERRY
October 24 & November 7
A rich, festive cranberry red with a classic, contemporary feel. Soft neutrals, creams, and muted reds pair beautifully with this bold backdrop.

🌲 EVERGREEN
October 25 & November 8
A deep, traditional evergreen with a minimalist Christmas feel. Warm neutrals, creams, and little pops of cranberry or gold look beautiful against the rich green.

For both setups, I’ve kept the styling intentionally simple — oversized ornaments, large white gifts, and just enough Christmas magic without letting the decor steal the spotlight from your family.

🎉 And there’s no need to stress over the “perfect” Christmas outfit. ❤️ PJs, cozy winter clothes, jeans and sweaters, festive or fancy — they can all work beautifully.

✨ 2026 Christmas Quickie Details
• $200
• 8 digital images included
• Approx. 15-image proofing gallery

Every Smash & Splash session begins with your vision. 🤍

Some mamas are drawn to my curated backdrop options, while others bring me an idea. From there, we thoughtfully refine every detail together.

The result is a session that feels intentional, elevated, and completely unique to your little one.

That’s the beauty of this experience — a seamless blend of design, collaboration, and letting your baby lead the moment (especially once the cake comes out!). 🎂

Because birthdays deserve more than just one photo. 🤍

A cozy little bed, a few sleepy stretches, and then… a tiny tongue sticking out to say hello. 🥰

These are the little moments that make newborn sessions so special — the quiet, the cuddles, and those unexpected little glimpses of personality.

If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to reserve your session date so we’re ready to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments when baby arrives. Those first days go by in a blur!

I only take a limited number of newborns each month to allow flexibility around due dates.

Summertime makes everything feel a little lighter. ☀️🤍 Bare feet, sunshine, ice cream smiles, and little giggles.

This early summer session feels like yesterday, and somehow we’re already heading toward a new season.

I love memories like this — the ones where you can almost hear the giggles just by looking at them.

And just like that, summer is flying by and fall is right around the corner. 🍂

🤍 One of my favourite parts of a newborn session is watching parents slow down and simply soak in their baby for a little while.

Between the feeding schedules, sleepless nights, and learning a whole new routine, those first few weeks pass by so quickly. A newborn session offers a chance to slow down, be present, and remember just how tiny they once were.

The photographs simply allow you to relive that feeling for years to come.

If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to reserve your session date so we’re ready to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments when baby arrives.

I only take a limited number of newborns each month to allow flexibility around due dates.

One of my favourite things about FamJam sessions is seeing how much everyone has grown since the last time we were together.

Over the last year, these sessions have continued to evolve.

Alongside those classic family portraits perfect for the wall, I’ve been focusing even more intentionally on capturing the connection, movement, and little in-between moments that make your family uniquely yours.

The laughter between siblings. The way little hands find mom and dad. The quiet moments that often become the memories you treasure most.

My goal is to create images that feel timeless, genuine, and true to this season of your family’s story.

🍂 Fall FamJam sessions (September–October) are now booking, and I still have a selection of dates available.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos this year, I’d love to spend an afternoon or evening with your crew.

📩 Send me a message, and we’ll start planning something beautiful together. —no automated systems, just a personal touch 💜

It’s the tiniest details that seem to change the fastest. 🤍

The sleepy expressions, delicate features, and all those little things you find yourself memorizing during those first few weeks. Before you know it, they’ve grown and changed, making these photographs even more meaningful with time.

It’s always an honour to preserve these moments for families so they can revisit them long after those early days have passed.

If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to reserve your session date so we’re ready to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments when baby arrives. Those first days go by in a blur!

I only take a limited number of newborns each month to allow flexibility around due dates.

These early days are such a blur of snuggles, feeds, and soaking in every little change. That’s why I love creating soft, timeless images that let your baby’s personality and sweet newness shine through. 🤍

If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to reserve your session and make sure we’re ready to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments when baby arrives.

Neutral tones with soft pops of pink — there’s something timeless about simple, classic newborn setups.

From gentle wraps to those in-between sleepy stretches, every setup is designed to keep baby feeling safe, warm, and completely at ease, with a focus on calm simplicity.

These are the details that matter most. The softness. The stillness. The beginning.

I only take a limited number of newborns each month to allow flexibility around due dates — so booking early is key.
