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.

Here is his 1st year cake smash session.

1. Your baby sets the pace and that’s how it should be.
Newborn sessions are slow, quiet, and flexible. Diaper changes and cuddles? All expected. We’re on baby time, always.
2. The simple shots are the ones you’ll treasure.
You don’t need a dozen props. Some of the most timeless images are the ones where baby is just wrapped up in your arms, barely posed, just…loved.
3. Your only job is to show up.
You don’t have to clean the house, bring Pinterest ideas, or stress about how your baby will behave. We’ve got it covered, you’re doing great already.

1. Your baby might not “smash” the cake and that’s OK.
Some babies dive in face first, and some barely touch it. Either way, it’s adorable, and we’ll get great photos no matter how messy (or tidy!) it gets.
2. Keep the outfit simple and comfy.
Tutus and bow ties are cute, but comfort is key. If your little one isn’t loving the outfit, it’ll show. We always say: one outfit for portraits, one for smashing, and keep it soft and easy to move in!
3. Timing matters more than you think.
We’ll plan your session around your baby’s happiest time of day, usually after a nap and snack. That way we get smiles instead of meltdowns.

The difference is in the details….
This is the part you don’t always see… but it’s where the magic happens.
The hours spent editing every image by hand.
Adjusting color, light, skin tones — without losing the realness.
Bringing out the magic you might not have noticed in the moment.
📸 Want that kind of attention to detail?
You know where to find me.

Because you can feel their love in this shot.

There’s always one photo from a session that just sticks. It’s not always the most perfect… but it’s the most them. This is one of mine from this session. ❤️
