Hunter is four months old! His mommy brought him in for the first of a few sessions of his baby’s first year, and I just can’t get enough. His big open-mouthed smiles just melt my heart!
I also photographed Hunter’s big brother Jackson when he was a baby, four years ago. It was so fun to see the close resemblance of the two brothers! I should dig up some of Jackson’s photos to compare – they’re so similar!
Four months old is a fantastic age to photograph when you’re thinking about what milestones to capture during baby’s first year. At this age, babies are usually pretty happy and smiley, and they can hold their heads up during tummy time. This allows us to capture a good deal of variety in their four month photos.
Both of the outfits from Hunter’s four month session came from the studio wardrobe, which is available for all of our babies ages 1-12 months. Everything in the wardrobe photographs well, and you don’t have to worry about scouring websites or items arriving on time for your session. I have an addiction to buying baby clothes, so take advantage! 🙂
Wondering which milestones to photograph during your baby’s first year?
There really isn’t one “right” schedule. Some families want to remember the whole first year, from maternity and newborn photographs through sitting and the first birthday. Others choose one particular stage they don’t want to forget.
My First Year Anthology is designed for families who want to document multiple chapters together, while Petite Sessions are a simple option for individual baby milestones between 3 and 12 months. If you’re not sure which makes sense for you, I’m always happy to help you decide.
