It’s hard to say which type of sessions I love the best — newborns, babies and maternity sessions are special, unique and beautiful. This month, I’m loving the baby milestone sessions, particularly the 6 - 8 month baby sessions. Baby photography during the first year can capture your baby during all of his or her milestones, freezing time for a moment, when your baby is growing and changing at light speed. My style is modern, natural and timeless, keeping the focus on baby with understated props, soft colors, and natural textures.
At 6-8 months, your baby can do so many things! Babies can sit, have awesome tummy time abilities, are smiling and laughing, playing with their toes, and giving you all kinds of adorable expressions. There is so much to document. So much to remember. Every baby is different, and I always customize the photography session according to my client’s style preferences, and also to ensure it is safe for whatever stage your baby is at.
This handsome little boy gave me all the smiles! He has huge bright laughing eyes, and a contagious grin. He was an absolute joy to photograph. The session was triply sweet, as I had photographed his two sisters for their baby milestone sessions, and done a maternity session for his parents. That’s one of the gifts of being a photographer, you get to work with clients over years, building relationships and seeing their families grow. As a photographer you are in a privileged position, trusted to capture your client’s memories. I just love it.
Getting back to this little one, it turns out his grandfather and father love fishing, so naturally his very prepared mother brought along a miniature fishing pole to use during the session as a prop. Little man gave us all the feels when he picked up and held the fishing pole during the session, beaming a huge smile the entire time. What an amazing image to capture for his dad and grandfather, and for him when he is old enough to look back at the image. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of fishing trips and wonderful family memories in store for this sweet little boy.
