I first worked with Farah & Irfan when they were expecting their baby girl for their maternity session at the park location. You can view their gorgeous session images by clicking here. Farah called the studio to schedule her daughter’s six month milestone session, and told us how excited she was to work with us again and for us to meet her little girl, Aliza. I can’t tell you how much I love meeting babies after maternity sessions and watching them grow throughout the years. I’m so happy to have so many clients who choose to return over and over again for sessions as their family and children grow.
Farah also requested to add on hair and makeup services because she loved it so much for her maternity session. Lots of our clients are converts to our team after working with them and tell us they’ll never have professional photographs taken again without hair and makeup services! It’s well worth the investment in how confident and beautiful you feel, and it’s such a nice treat to yourself too! Lots of our clients plan a date or girl’s night out afterwards to get the most mileage out of it!
When the family arrived at the studio, Farah chose a pretty champagne pink dress to wear. We looked through our studio wardrobe for baby girls and she loved a simple white romper with lace accents that we had. I pulled a few tiebacks from our wall for her to choose from and she selected a sweet triple rosette one that matched perfectly and was perfect for Aliza’s head size. We don’t do bows the size of Texas here. The last thing I want is for someone’s to have trouble trying to see your baby behind a bow the size of their head.
Aliza was such a friendly and happy baby and thought I was so funny. She giggled a lot and searched the room for me if I went out of her line of sight. Not all babies can sit unassisted at six months of age, and Aliza was one of them. We’ll prop your baby up with some help from you if this is the case! There are also plenty of other images we can capture of tummy time, back time, etc. - the list is endless. I’ll make sure you have a great variety of images to choose from in your proof gallery.
This was the first six month session that I had involving a half birthday cake! Six months is a very important cultural milestone for Aliza’s family, and they wanted to mark it. Farah said - and I QUOTE - “It’s not like she’ll eat it!”
Famous. Last. Words.
As soon as the cake was placed in front of Miss Aliza, she tore into it like it was her last meal and she most certainly did take a bite. I think our reaction was a mix of horror and amusement! Six month old babies shouldn’t be eating cake, right? But at the same time, one bite isn’t that big of a deal. Plus, it made for some of the cutest pictures! I swear her little face has a “I know I wasn’t supposed to do that” expression. If you scroll down to the end of the gallery, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Enjoy some of my favorites from Aliza’s six month session!
