All About Town at Six Months Old

 

This was a day-in-the-life shoot I did for a sweet six-month-old who is participating in my “year in the life” plan. If you know this family, send them an e-mail to see their slide show. It’s beautiful!

The picture above took my breath away when I first downloaded all the pictures! The colors in the sky are beautiful and contrast so nicely with the clothing and natural colors of the harbor, but I especially love how graphic it is. Notice how things on the edges of the picture are pointing at our mom and baby in the center? The clouds, the stroller, the rocks, the distant shore — I love that!

 

This shot is so cool — the baby’s on his changing table having some sort of discussion with his mom and his uncle.

 

Mom, baby and I went for a walk in the beautiful evening light.

 

But long before that, the baby’s grandmother, and some friends, came over for a dip in the baby pool and some watermelon. First, some sunscreen, above. I love the look on his face, like “Ooooh! That feels GOOD!”

 

That’s grandma and a sweet little friend!

 

Isn’t she adorable? Hint to all my clients reading this: how did I get this great shot of this cute little girl? Her mom sat back, ignoring the photo session, and let me and her daughter just play. THAT’S the secret!

 

This is one of my all-time favorite pictures.

 

I love day-in-the-life sessions! Capturing these special, fleeting, moments is really so important. Before you know it, that little boy will be taller than her and asking to go to the Lego Store for the billionth time. (Oh, that’s MY son, sorry.)

 

For now, we’ll just hang out together at the park.

 

Another fave. I’m so happy we got such beautiful light that evening!

 

This one was taken only a few minutes later, from a different angle. I just love the colors!

 

Here’s my friend again. She’s such a sweetie!

 

We shot for a few posed portraits with mom and her sister. What a gorgeous family! You may remember them from the baby’s baptism pictures. I love how the clothing is coordinated, but doesn’t match. Good job on the wardrobe planning! Your baby book is going to look like pages right out of a catalog for sure!

 

Love it!

 

Just after bathtime. What a great expression!

 

I knew mom would be heading out the door, and I was anticipating her walking away as being a way to end the slide show, but I thought for once it would add a sense of drama if the picture was blurry, like a dream. I love how it came out! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

I hope the family enjoyed the slide show. It’s one of my favorites for sure!
