Baby John Ira, Six Month Session

John Ira turned six months old over the summer so it was time for another milestone session! He was doing great sitting up on his own, grabbing hold of his tiny feet, and smiling big to show off those little teeth coming in. :) He loved cuddling with his mom and dad, and was quite entertained by big sister Poppy who gave him some sweet hugs and kisses and tickles. Of course we got some photos of just her, too, and the whole family together. Such a fun session and a precious little bunch!

Summertime Mini Sessions at Soleil Garden Center

I saw a moss-covered chair on Pinterest last year and it was my inspiration for these summertime mini sessions! Soleil Garden Center in Union City was gracious enough to let us host them at their beautiful nursery, and it was the perfect background for the organic, botanical feel I was going for. Of course I would choose the hottest weekend in June to do the sessions (never again! haha) but my clients were so sweet and did great in spite of the heat. If we do them again, we’ll definitely make them “spring” sessions and do them in like March. ;) (Just not this March, as I don’t think I could do it being nine-months pregnant!)

We took pictures of lots of precious faces and had a great time working with everyone who came out! These are just a few of my favorite photos from that weekend, though it was so hard to narrow it down to these.

For anyone who is wondering, I made the moss chair myself! I found the chair at a local thrift store and hot glued moss sheets (table runners I found on Amazon) to the fabric. It does shed a lot, but it held together very well for the sessions!

Baby Conley Jane, Nine Month Session

We did Conley Jane’s nine month session at her grandparents’ house, which was extra special because this is also where her mom and dad got married. :) The antique wooden wagon and the tree in the background at the end were some details that were included in their wedding, so it was fun to incorporate them into these pictures, too!
Though this sweet girl wasn’t feeling her best that morning due to some new teeth coming in, she smiled and gave us some adorable grins anyways! I’m sure after we were done with the session she got lots of extra cuddles and maybe a good nap or two. Teething sure isn’t fun, but having not just her mom and dad love on her but also her grandparents can make it better! <3
