Halfway to One! Celebrating 6 Months with a Photoshoot

This little beauty is halfway to one! This is the third time I’ve been so lucky to photograph her since her newborn and 4 month photos. She is so beautiful!

Why 6 Month Baby Photos Are Worth It

6 months is such an important milestone to capture your baby’s rapid development and unique personality. At this stage of life, babies have become more interactive, mobile, and expressive. 

There are so many reasons why you should consider booking a 6-month photo session:

1. Capturing a fleeting stage: Babyhood goes by quickly, just 12 short months. Multiple photo sessions during the first year document growth and provide lasting memories.

2. Emergence of personality: At six months, your baby’s unique personality is shining through in full force. Capturing it is priceless.

3. Gummy grins and giggles: Six-month-olds often have adorable gummy smiles, giggles, and a fascination with their toes. It’s a great time to document those chubby thighs and wrists before they disappear as your baby becomes more mobile. While not all babies sit unsupported at 6 months, it’s a great portrait pose when they can sit upright.

4. Developmental milestones: At this age, babies are often sitting up, rolling over, and may be close to crawling. These milestones make for amazing photos, and at this age, babies are not yet so active that they’re constantly on the move, making them easier to photograph.

A 6-month photo session is an investment in capturing a precious and fleeting time in your baby’s life. You’ll never regret having beautiful images to look back on!

The Greatest Showman 1st Birthday Photoshoot

This handsome little guy is a huge fan of The Greatest Showman, and his mom brought him in wearing an adorable circus outfit for his first birthday photoshoot. He especially loved the little chair I sat him in, and his laugh is absolutely adorable!

Baby boy’s newborn photos

After previously photographing this wonderful family for their second daughter’s newborn session and then her 1st birthday photoshoot, I was thrilled to document the newest addition to their family – an adorable baby boy who arrived just before Christmas. Scroll down to view their handsome baby boy’s newborn photos! I made sure to get some portraits of the girls for their January birthdays too.

It’s always so fun to see a family’s dynamic grow and change after welcoming a new little one. They were obviously so excited to have a baby boy after their two adorable girls, and dad brought some special props for his son. This little guy is as cute as can be and so loved!

Welcoming a newborn is a magical time filled with fleeting moments that pass in the blink of an eye. Hiring a newborn photographer is a special way to preserve these precious early days, ensuring you have beautiful memories to cherish for a lifetime. The newborn stage is incredibly short, as babies change constantly as they grow. I offer multiple options for newborn, baby, and child photos, and my goal is to create timeless images that capture your child’s unique personality and milestones – from tiny newborn details to playful toddler expressions and everything in between.

Baby boy’s cake smash

This adorable baby boy’s cake smash was such a blast! I loved the simple setups his momma chose, and he was so full of personality which of course made his photos pop. As I often do with each first birthday photoshoot, we started with family and sibling photos, then changed up props and outfits, and ended with a sweet and simple cake smash!

Newborn brother | Menifee Newborn Photographer

I first met this cute family a couple years ago for their first son’s newborn photoshoot. I was so happy to see them again after they welcomed a second baby boy to their family, and it was so fun to see how alike big brother and his newborn brother look!

Newborn photos are such a special way to document life’s most precious chapters – watching families grow as they welcome a new little family member. Witnessing and capturing these moments is truly a privilege. This sweet boy was born before Thanksgiving and I’m finally getting caught up on posting all the sessions I did around the holidays — I’m sure he has grown so much already!

Oakley’s 4 month photos with her siblings!

I was so excited to see adorable little Oakley for 4 month photos after getting to capture her newborn photos earlier this summer. This time her siblings came to the session. I can only imagine how popular little Oakley must be at home — with that adorable smile and her scrumptious rolls, I’m sure nobody ever wants to put her down! She is such an absolutely darling baby.

Baby girl’s 6 month milestone photos

When I first met this gorgeous baby girl for her newborn photos, I was blown away by her gorgeous eyelashes. I can attest she has somehow gotten even cuter with her stunning lashes, dimples, and smile. Not gonna lie, I wanted to keep her! I was so glad that her momma made the drive out to visit me for her 6 month milestone photos. I’ve said it about a million times before, but 6 months is one of the cutest ages ever — an age that’s 100% worth scheduling a special photoshoot for!

1st birthday cake smash photos

Little S packed so much personality into her 1st birthday cake smash photos! First birthday photos have been my most requested session this year. If you’re looking for a photographer to document your baby’s precious milestones, contact me and I’d love to chat!

Wesley’s Preemie Newborn Photos

I had the pleasure of meeting this cute family during their firstborn’s newborn session, and again for his first birthday photoshoot. I was thrilled when they reached out for their second baby boy’s newborn photos!
Sweet baby Wesley arrived a couple of months early and spent some time in the NICU. Thankfully, he was right on track for his newborn photos when he visited just a week before his actual due date. During our session, he managed to sneak in plenty of adorable smiles!
Capturing preemie photos is always special for me. These sessions not only celebrate the unique journey of these little ones but also provide families with cherished memories during a time that can be both challenging and joyful. Each smile from baby W reminded me of the resilience and strength preemies have in their early moments of life!

Birthday buddies – Penny & Scarlett Cake Smash

Last month I had the opportunity to collaborate with several small business owners in Menifee for a fantastic 5-day giveaway hosted by Menifee Mom on instagram. I was thrilled when the winner of my giveaway reached out to arrange a cake smash session for her baby girl Penny’s 1st birthday! The icing on the cake (no pun intended) was that her big sister Scarlett has a birthday just a few days after hers, so they both joined in for a double birthday photoshoot!

Sibling sessions are so very special, and I’m excited to announce that I’ve expanded my offerings for baby and child photoshoots, including a Cake Smash Mini session for clients seeking a short & sweet cake smash experience! Speaking of cake smash photos, did you know many grocery store bakeries provide a complimentary smash cake when you let them know it’s your baby’s 1st birthday?!
