Newport Beach Baby Photographer – 6 months old

Sitting Up Session – Newport Beach Baby Photographer

We always recommend the baby plan to our newborn clients! Not only does it help you document the first year of life, it can also make a really cute baby book that will last for generations. This family is so great about documenting milestones for their children. We get to see them so often, the kids always have a great session. No stranger-danger with these kiddos! I wanted clients to understand the importance of professionally documenting the baby’s first year, so I put their album design into a short video.

Check out his first year baby book:

These short videos are so great for sharing online through your social media accounts. If you decide to order a book, we are happy to make you one- just ask! The first year goes by so fast- believe me! We still can’t believe our little guys aren’t so little anymore. As they start preschool, and then elementary school, you almost forget what they were like as babies. Enjoy it- but document it so you can always remember this special time! You’ll also notice the little Sophie toy in the photos. He’s not very interested in it now, but boy did he love it at 6 months. Capture those moments so you’ll always have them!

Here is his newborn session.

There will always be a reason to wait.
Wait until you’re sleeping again.
Wait until you “feel like yourself.”
Wait until the baby phase doesn’t feel so overwhelming.
Wait for the busy season to pass.
Wait until the kids are older.
Wait until life feels a little less… messy.
But what if this is the season you’ll miss the most one day?
The chaos. The connection. The tiny moments that feel ordinary now — but won’t stay that way forever.
Photos aren’t just about milestone moments. They’re about freezing time when it feels like it’s flying.
Stop waiting. Start remembering.
Sometimes I look at this messy little corner of my world — memory cards everywhere, caffeine on standby, sticky notes galore — and think:
Wow. Remember when I wished for this?
The booked calendar.
The amazing dream clients.
The late nights doing something I love.
Past me would be so proud!
Big thank you to all my clients who have been a part of building this dream with me!
