Sweet Baby Reid | Patoka Lake Baby Photographer
Posted on May 21, 2011
My Thursday morning session with sweet little Reid and his Momma was full of smiles and joy! Reid completely melted me. What a wonderful, happy, expressive baby boy he is. I was Smitten with a capital S. So, I can only imagine how his Momma must feel. This session was yet again a perfect example of what I always tell clients inquiring about a session for their baby: 6 to 8 months is the absolute best age! If you’re investing in only one custom session in your baby’s first year and you want to get the most beautiful images possible, I recommend you schedule the session for 6-8 months of age. At this halfway point in your baby’s first year, he or she is sitting up, very social and more easily engaged, expressive, and not yet on the go. You can really capture their unique personalities! Many parents wait until the 1-year mark to invest in a custom portrait session. At one year, most babies have a lot of new found independence and are very busy seeing and exploring, not so much staying put. :- ) If you’re thinking about scheduling a session for your baby, I highly recommend a session at 6-8 months of age! You’ll be thrilled with the images that are captured…..
Like this first image that I have looked at dozens of times since uploading after the session Thursday. This is a new all-time favorite for me. I love everything about it–particularly that darling little man and his big, contagious smile. (Joni, this is just one of which I was saying would make a GORGEOUS canvas! I can’t imagine sweeter art to display for years to come and see that big, joyful smile every day.)
Yes, he generously dished the smiles out left and right.
This one totally gets me. Momma love….
Joni, if you love these photos even half as much as I do, I have the feeling you’re pretty happy about now. :- )
