Are you ready for a cuteness overload?!?!?  I seriously can’t even take all the cuteness from this session.  Mr. Coen has to be one the of the sweetest little guys.  He’s such a happy baby!

Coen is part of my Grow With Me Plan.  I have photographed his family for their maternity session, his newborn session, and now his six month or ‘sitter’ session. This is probably one of my favorite milestone sessions, as the little ones can sit up on their own, make eye contact, and are full of smiles.  Coen checked all the boxes for this!

I like to do a few different setups for 6 month sessions.  We started out very simple.  This is just the time to capture them for who they are at this age…no fancy outfits, props, or bold backdrops.  Just simple and timeless.  As much as I absolutely love the really neat setups with all kinds of props and details, I really gravitate to those simple and timeless looks.  I think these are the photographs that warm your heart for years to come and seem to never age.

Next we moved into some really adorable outfits his mom and dad selected for him.  Seriously…just look at him!  He’s so adorable!  That smile he has is still contagious when I look through his portraits today.

We just had the gallery viewing over the weekend with his family where they got to see all the images for the very first time. Of course while Mom and Dad were looking through the images, I had to get my baby fix in!  I just love being able to spend time with the kids and help families display just the right portraits throughout their homes to fill them with love and joy all year round!
