I first worked with Keyianna for her park maternity session (click here to view those images), and was so excited to hear from her when she emailed to schedule her son’s 6 month milestone session! Her son Ethan has the same first name as mine, so I obviously think she has great taste in names. ;) I also absolutely LOVE getting to meet the babies after they’ve been born at their newborn and/or milestone sessions. Watching my little clients grow up over the years is so much fun.
We started the session with solo baby portraits of Ethan in his cute little outfit! During the session, his diaper leaked through, so we lost the pants. It was no big deal though, since I love showing off those chunky baby legs and toes, and it adds variety to the gallery! Most six month sessions also include images of your baby in just a diaper but it’s completely up to you. It’s so much fun to play on the bed and almost all babies at this age love to play with their feet. The detail images of those chubby hands clasping their feet get me EVERY time. The thing I looked forward to the most at this stage with my own three babies was when they’d chew on their toes. It’s my absolute favorite! Keyianna hadn’t planned to be in the images, but I encouraged her to step into a few at the end She was worried that what she was wearing didn’t work well, but I assured her that it did! For being an unintentional choice, it really worked perfectly with the colors and patterns that Ethan was wearing. I want every mom to walk away from their session with sweet images of them loving on their baby. You don’t see yourself the way that I do - and I love being able to show you just how beautiful you look when your baby is in your arms. You are your baby’s tender protector, and being able to photograph what that FEELS like and create tangible artwork that evokes that emotion every time to see it … this is my dream job come true.
Let’s make it happen for you and your baby! I’d love to connect with you and set up a time to work with your family for a milestone or “just because” session!
In the meantime, enjoy a few of my favorites from Ethan’s session!
