3-Month Watch Me Grow Session {Rochester MN Baby Portrait Photographer}

Baby S came into the studio for her 3-month Watch Me Grow session. Her parents wanted to capture some beautiful photos of her at this stage where they start smiling and showing their sweet little personalities.

Watch Me Grow sessions are perfect for capturing all those baby phases! Documenting the growth from newborn all the way through to their first birthday. A lot happens in a year!

Baby S is so photogenic with those gorgeous big blue eyes. She made us work for the few smiles we got and even got a little nap in during her session.

Girls Rule {Infant Photographer near Cresco Iowa}

We tend to buy props from the dollar section at Target with themes I think may be fun to do sometime. I had boughten the girls rule stuff back when we had first found out that my cousin had cancer and I thought of doing some “Girls Rule” mini sessions to raise funds for her, but then our family and friends planned a benefit instead. So these things have sat in a prop box for over 3 years until….

As we got to the studio, Mom sent an email saying they wanted something unique and spunky (punk rock-ish) to show off her personality and how she wants to be independent at 9 months. I had a lightbulb moment that I had these girls rule props and our kid’s guitar, microphone, boom box, silver star, and a pink leather jacket. We got lucky as it all matched the clothes and glittery kicks Mom and Dad had picked out. How perfect is that?! This is why we have so, so much stuff. We also got to use one of my favorite outfits from our studio closet. So cute!

6-Month Old Boy {Rochester MN Infant Portrait Photographer}

Today’s a good day to share some photos from Mr. O’s 6-month session. All of us in Minnesota likely wish we were on a beach somewhere. Although, the beaches in the US are likely pretty chilly right now, too, but still much better than the -15 degrees it is right now in Southeast Minnesota. ?

6-Month Portraits {Spring Valley MN Infant Portrait Photographer}

Yesterday Andrea stopped by the studio so we could do Waylon’s 6-month photos. We were able to use some of our new outfits and props for his 6-month portrait session and also did a few Christmas photos since he turned 6 months old on Christmas Day.

Some babies can be shy or cranky at their 6-month session and the pandemic and masks don’t help either. They’ve become aware of their surroundings, and sometimes they take a little while to warm up to the sights and lights of the sets. But Waylon has no fear, and he showed off that handsome smile of his in most of the photos. And look at those, eyes, they lit up the studio.

With having no fear, he’s a completely confident sitter, crawls, and can stand next to something already. He actually has been sitting and standing next to things for a while. He was even doing them when we did his 4-month portraits (will share some of them at the end, too since I never did them when we did them). We had missed doing his 3-month portraits as we had been busy, but kind of glad it happened so we could capture him sitting and standing early (even though he wasn’t totally happy about it). ? Can’t wait to see what he’s doing at his 9-month session and wonder if he will be walking by then. ?

6 Months {Rochester MN Children’s Portrait Photographer}

“Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can’t see.” —The Polar Express

During Miss S’s 6 Month Watch Me Grow Session, her Dad dressed up as Santa for some photos and we also did some more photoshop magic for a few as well. So fun!
