What to expect at your 4 - 6 month baby photography session | Weston, MA

During your baby’s first year, you will most likely see your baby photographer multiple times to capture all the awesomeness of year 1. Some parents like to come to the studio at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Others prefer 4, 8, 12 months. Both ways are wonderful and I would be happy to take you through the benefits of both.

As you think about what months you are going to get your baby’s photos taken, I would encourage you to consider what milestones you would love to capture. My most popular requests are: toe grabbing, newly sitting (but not yet crawling), and 1 year.

Toe grabbing has a short little window. The best time (in my experience) to get this pose is right around 5 and 6 months old. Typically these babies cannot sit on their own yet, but are fantastic rollers and love to make eye contact with the camera.

This is also a wonderful time for blanket over the head or peek-a-boo images. Babies love to hide under the blanket and be seen. They have wonderful arm strength and these images are always a WOW!

Babies love to grab their toes right around 5 months old.
