6 Month Old Baby Portrait Session – Nautical Sailor

Baby Portrait at Gilmore Studios

It’s always fun to catch up with our past brides and grooms. We photographed mom and dad’s country wedding a few years ago and have run into them at a few other weddings since then! They recently came into the studio for their 6 Month Old Baby Portrait Session. They wanted a nautical themed session and we had a few props that worked perfectly 🙂 The baby canoe is one of my favorite props! We found this awesome baby prop at Mr. & Mrs. and Co and the water background at Lemondrop.

Teeny Seed baby bibs

We were so excited to hear about their brand new venture called, Teeny Seed. They have created a line of really stylish and cool reversible baby bibs and they are even on Amazon! We made sure to get a few product photos for them.

6 Month Old Baby Portrait Session

When planning your 6 month old baby portrait session, keep in mind that the main objective is your little one sitting up (on their own) If your baby doesn’t sit up at 6 months, give them a couple weeks! Babies all have their own timeline, some kids figure out how to walk early, while others are late bloomers! It’s always a good idea to schedule your session after you’ve seen them try to keep themselves up.

Photographing a massive event with tons of guests? Here’s how I made sure to capture every moment at the NCL 100th Anniversary:

1. Position yourself strategically to cover multiple angles.
2. Focus on storytelling shots— think candid reactions and group interactions.
3. Keep your gear light and mobile for quick movement!

Big events can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, you can document every detail while staying organized! 📸🤍
