A is for adorable!

This little one year old was a doll....and a delight to photograph.  It was so nice meeting and working with her and her parents.

It is always a pleasure to see return clients.  There is always the excitement in seeing how big baby or child has grown, to meet up again with the parents, and to discover fun new ways of documenting child and family.   And such was the case here on this misty morning with an absolute delightful little seven month old -- enjoy!

The last time I saw this little cutie was back in October for her newborn session.  She has grown so much, and is so happy and big!

Ages & Stages | Olympia Baby & Child Photographer

Parents often ask what some of the more memorable ages and stages of baby portraits are.  Here is a little rundown:

Newborn portraits ~
Newborns are photographed best during the first two weeks after birth.

3-4 month baby portraits ~
Your baby is developing a little personality, and while not sitting or standing yet, baby is usually able to lift head, lay on belly, and giggle and smile!

6-8 month baby portraits ~
Around six months, your baby will start to sit and this is a great stage to document.  These "smiling sitters" are a joy to photograph.  This stage is the quintessential baby portrait.  As soon as baby starts to sit, schedule an appointment for a few weeks out to allow baby to become a strong and steady sitter.  Your favorite outfits, adorable hats/bow, and fun toys all make great props.

12 month baby portraits ~
It's the one year milestone for baby!  Baby is now able to pull-up with some one year olds crawling and walking.   Fun items to have a the session are favorite toys, balloons, cupcake/cake, and favorite outfits.

18 month baby portraits ~
18 months is a big stage for baby.  She's leaving the babyhood for toddler-hood!   During this stage, baby will be expressing her independence and we will document cute and fun expressions.  The 18 month old is less likely to "pose", so we will capture her in action.
