6 month Sitter Session: Baby Photography

Babies grow so incredibly quickly! While it may seem like pregnancy and it’s 9 months takes a long time to pass, once your new baby arrives, time flies by. Before you know it they are no longer a tiny little wrinkly newborn. They start filling out and getting chunky. They sleep a little longer. They stay awake a little more. Then you start getting those gummy grins and babies start making noises and babbling. Next comes rolling over and discovering the ceiling fan or the family pet. Tummy time and sitting up happen before you are ever ready.

As a parent, you want time to slow down so you can savor each and every day. Babies are only babies for one short year. The days may drag on, but those years fly by!

As a baby photographer, the 6 month, or “sitter session” is one of my favorites! Not all babies sit right at 6 months, so it’s ok if it’s 7 months, but I love to capture the stage where baby is sitting up well on their own (but not yet crawling. Once baby is crawling the photography game changes!)

Just look how much personality is already packed into one little tiny person. I love babies at this age. They are so expressive!

Babies are even adorable when they’re chewing on their toes.
