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.

Dream job? Honestly, yes. But it’s so much more than a job.

For 24 years I’ve been trusted with the moments people will hold onto forever.
First cries. First birthdays. First lost teeth. Graduating high school and college. Vows. And then repeating the cycle all over again.

I’ve been there for the joy and the grief, the beginnings and the goodbyes. And somehow, after all of it, I still get to wake up and do it again tomorrow and it still takes my breath away every single time.

I’ve watched entire lifetimes unfold through my lens, and I don’t take a single frame for granted.

To my clients … you haven’t just given me a career. You’ve let me into the moments that matter most.

That’s everything. 🤍

What actually happens during prom photos 👀
Here’s how to instantly make your prom photos look better:
• Don’t stand stiff
• Keep movement in the poses
• Relax your hands and shoulders
• Stay close together in couple photos
• Laugh, talk, and i
That’s what I’m guiding the entire session.
Because the best prom photos don’t always happen from perfect posing...
They happen when everyone finally relaxes and starts having fun. #

If younger me could see the amount of emails, sessions, editing, timelines, client calls, blogs, courses, and random to-do lists now… she’d be SHOCKED. 😅

I started Gilmore Studios in 2002 with no roadmap. Just a camera, a love for photography, and honestly… a huge love for the business side of it too.

Since then, I’ve photographed so many stages of life:
weddings, newborns, seniors, cake smashes, families, commercial shoots, events… and somehow many of those clients became lifelong friends along the way. 🤍

What started as “I think I want to do photography” turned into over two decades of documenting people’s biggest moments and helping other photographers grow businesses of their own.

And honestly?
I still love it just as much.

Top locations in Arizona for a senior session 👀

And each one gives you a completely different look.

Riparian Preserve
Greenery, paths, variety, and softer natural tones.

Queen Creek Fields
Open space, warm light, and that dreamy golden hour look everybody loves.

Queen Creek Wash
More texture, desert tones, and a slightly edgier feel.

Here’s how I help seniors choose:
We don’t just pick a location because it’s pretty. We pick one that fits your outfits, personality, and the overall vibe you want your photos to have.

Because location changes EVERYTHING.
