6 Month Milestone Sessions: Why It’s More Important Than You Think: Petra King Photography

The newborn stage may be behind you, but at 6 months, your baby is full of charm. This is one of the most overlooked—but truly special—milestones. If you are on the fence whether to just skip 6 months, here are 4 milestone photo tips why you should.

1. Why 6 Months is Magical

At this age, babies full personality is evident. Newly learned skills like, sitting up unassisted, engaging expressions and playful curiosity. Plus, babies are just so cute at this stage, chubby cheeks and legs, It’s the best age for baby photos. One of my favourite details I include for mom and dad is a profile picture of baby looking at mom/dad. It’s amazing to look back at how beautiful your little one really is.

2. What to Expect at the Studio

Our cozy, temperature-controlled studio is perfect for capturing these early expressions. Sessions are gentle and calm with plenty of time for feeding and snuggles. I make sure that your little one is comfortable with me first before I bring out the camera. Babies are funny at this age, once I pop behind the camera sometimes their expression changes when they can’t see me. But don’t worry…I am always acting silly to get the most genuine photos for you.

3. Styling Tips

Think soft knits, neutral tones, and delicate textures. You’re welcome to use our studio wardrobe or bring sentimental items from home. I love including a stuffy or fav blanket that is your baby’s favourite.

4. Making the Most of the Session

Bring a pacifier, a favourite swaddle, and don’t worry if your baby needs breaks—we work around them, not the clock. I am a parent too and a happy, content and relaxed baby make for the BEST gummy smiles and heartfelt expressions. So there you have it, 6 month baby photography in Durham Region is easy, and affordable too!
