The eyelashes. The cheeks.
They call these “sitter” portrait sessions because baby is sitting and maybe crawling but not quite standing or walking yet. Babies do this between 7-9 months old give or take and it was probably the most fun part of babyhood for me as a parent. Their little personalities just shine and they cackle when things are funny. They sleep a little more soundly (usually) and their schedule gets a little more predictable but they aren’t quite big or fast enough to be “into everything” quite yet. It’s just a joy all the way around and I’m lucky to get to hang out with these little ones on the daily in my Pasadena MD photography studio. I provide all the props, blankets and wardrobe for babies from newborn to 18mo.
