Why Six Months Is My Favorite Age to Photograph Babies

If I had to choose one favorite age to photograph babies…

It would probably be six months.

By this age, most babies are full of personality. They're smiling, giggling, making eye contact, and often learning to sit independently. They aren't crawling away quite yet, which means we have plenty of time to capture those sweet expressions and chubby little cheeks everyone loves.

Six-month sessions are simple, timeless, and focused entirely on your baby. We don't need elaborate props or busy backgrounds because your little one's personality is finally beginning to shine. It's one of those stages parents often wish they could freeze forever—and thankfully, photographs let us do exactly that.

Kate's Tip: Neutral outfits and simple backgrounds keep the attention exactly where it belongs…on those adorable baby smiles.
