What a Difference 6 Months Makes . . .
One of the most rewarding things about my job is getting to photograph a baby and her family as she grows. As you can see, the growth that happens in just 6 months is absolutely amazing! Taken just a little over a week after her birth, the first image shows a bright-eyed and alert newborn baby. The second image is the beginning of this 6-month-old baby girl’s pictures. 
This little cherub was so interested in me for the first 30 minutes of our time together that she constantly watched me wherever I was. Even bouncing on her Mommy’s tummy and laughter coming from her Daddy didn’t sway her focus.
There is just something about playing with a blanket that makes the cutest pictures. Blankets frame the face and help focus our eyes on what is most important in the picture. . . the cute little baby peeking out from underneath.
Every night cutie pie here is read to and rocked to sleep by her Daddy. He couldn’t resist sneaking in a few kisses since we weren’t actually trying to get her to sleep. As he read her a favorite book of theirs, I couldn’t help but recite it along from memory (like I’m sure so many of you could as well.)
We had a little playtime on Mommy and Daddy’s bed too, which must have been exhausting because she just plopped down and rested for me in this position. 
A good tickle finally brought out the silly side in this little sweetie and she blew us all some raspberries.
This simple set up with a wash basin on a cream background gave us the most adorable portrait of their little girl. She looks like she is about to crack a smile here.
Hanging out with Momma is a luxury that we all need to remember. Momma just went back to work, so it’s times like these that they will both cherish so much more now that they aren’t constantly available. 
After pushing up, comes sitting up. Not quite there yet, we managed to snap a quick portrait of this baby girl sitting up with Mom ready on the sidelines before a tumble could happen.
This session was very cute and means so much more when you compare just how little baby girl here was just 6 months ago.

And stay tuned for another big jump in growth and skills when I return to take her 1-year-old photos this August!
