6-Month Baby Milestone Photos: The Most Overlooked Session (Niagara Edition)

Most Niagara moms know the drill. Newborn photos early on, and then a big one-year celebration with a cake smash. But in between, there’s this sweet little window that’s often skipped, and honestly, it’s one of my favourites to photograph.

Six-month sessions are low stress, full of personality, and the perfect way to capture your baby right in the middle of it all when they’re happy, curious, and just starting to explore the world.

Why 6 Months Is So Worth Capturing

By six months, your baby is usually sitting up with or without a little wobble, flashing big gummy smiles, grabbing their toes, and soaking in every sound and face around them. They’re alert, expressive, and full of those little quirks you’ll want to remember.

Unlike the sleepy newborn stage or the wild unpredictability of toddlerhood, six months is a happy medium. You get eye contact, curiosity, giggles, and often a really great nap after.

Short, Sweet, and Easy for Busy Niagara Parents

These sessions are quick. You don’t have to time naps or feeding windows down to the minute. There’s no chasing anyone across the studio. Your baby is usually content for the perfect amount of time to capture a whole range of images.

You just show up with your baby. I’ll take care of everything else from wardrobe to styling to creating a cozy, relaxed space that works for you and your little one.

What We’ll Capture

This session gives you more than just cute pictures. It gives you a piece of their story you won’t want to miss. Think:
• Baby sitting up on their own even if just for a second
• Those squishy rolls and chunky thighs before they’re gone
• Real smiles and first belly laughs
• Eye contact and curiosity
• Interactions with parents and siblings
• Foot grabbing, toy reaching, full-on personality moments

What to Wear and Why You Don’t Need to Stress

You don’t need to go shopping for this. I’ve got a studio wardrobe with soft, timeless pieces in natural tones that photograph beautifully. Rompers, dresses, diaper covers, and cozy textures. We’ll choose something that fits the season and feels like your baby.

You’re welcome to bring a special blanket, a sentimental toy, or anything meaningful you’d like to include. We’ll keep it simple and natural.

A Beautiful Part of Your Baby’s First Year Story

This stage fills the gap between the curled-up newborn and the busy one-year-old. When we pair your six-month photos with your newborn and first birthday sessions, you get the full story. One you’ll actually print, hang, and flip through often.

Most moms who book this session tell me afterward, “These ended up being my favourite photos from the whole year.”

Ready to Book?

If your baby is hitting that six-month mark soon, this is the time. These sessions are quick, calm, and often the easiest of the year. I’ll handle all the details. You just bring the baby and enjoy a little moment to soak it all in.
