6 Month Old Baby Portrait Session – Nautical Sailor

08.08.17

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.

Have you ever noticed how the most meaningful moments don’t need much at all?
The power was out in the church during this baptism, which made everything feel quieter and more intentional. Just family, faith, and a moment that truly mattered. Sometimes simplicity has a way of stripping things back to what is most important.

Who says Christmas photos have to be serious?

This family showed up in red, brought the energy, and leaned fully into the fun. The funny poses, the laughs, and the personalities are exactly what made this session feel so them. These are the photos you smile at every time you walk by them.

Do your headshots actually feel like you?

This one was done at Balboa in the fog, and honestly, it worked perfectly. Soft light, calm energy, and nothing distracting. A great reminder that headshots do not have to be stiff or overly polished to feel professional.

2025 looked like:

This work continues to surprise me. I’m thankful for the trust, the connection, and the moments I was honored to document this year. If you were part of it, thank you.

Do you ever realize how much changes in just one year?

This was their session from last year, and looking back at these candid moments is such a reminder of why yearly photos matter. You don’t notice the little changes day to day, but you feel them when you see them like this.
