Hayden, 6 Month Sitter Session | Leland NC Baby Photographer

This handsome little guy was so full of personality during our session! Hayden was just so easy going and had the most beautiful big eyes (and squishy cheeks!).  He let me plop him into all kinds of bowls, buckets, and outfits without even a flinch! I've said it before but seriously, sitter sessions are so much fun! There's just something about this stage that's so unique and adorable, between the fleeting newborn moments and when they turn one and begin to look like toddlers.

Here are some of my favorite images from Hayden's session!

W. Family | Leland NC Family Photographer

I'm definitely missing these beautiful fall colors on rainy winter days like we've been having lately! This family was so incredibly sweet and I had so much fun working with them. The kids even acted like they loved each other (Ha! But really, they were adorable). Lilly even decided she wanted to practice being a photographer at the end of our session!

Sadie, 7 Month Sitter Session | Leland NC Baby Photographer

The first time I photographed this beautiful girl, she was just 11 days old! This time, at 7 months, she had grown up so much. I love this age because they're sitting up nicely, but not yet on the move (at least not too fast!). Also, babies start to show their personalities and Sadie definitely is the sweetest, most happy baby! And seriously, her big blue eyes are so captivating. I always look forward to my time with Sadie (and her mama!) and I'm so excited for her first birthday session soon.

M. Family | Leland NC Family Photographer

I love fall family portraits so much! And the M. Family made their session so easy! Little Emily was quite adorable and even though she wasn't sure what to think at first, she eventually warmed up and gave me some sweet smiles. Oh, and I totally wanted her outfit for myself!

Weller, 6 Month Sitter Session | Leland NC Baby Photographer

Oh my goodness, this little guy was such a sweetheart (and look at those eyes!)! Weller came in for a milestone/sitter session at 6 months. He is ridiculously cute and has the sweetest personality as well! Apparently, he had been going through a phase which was ALL ABOUT his tongue and we caught some great shots of him being silly. 

I always encourage parents to bring in any items of personal significance to include in their session. Mom brought a teddy bear which was made from a shirt she gave her dad who has passed away. I know these images of Weller playing with this bear will be so meaningful as he grows older.

I enjoyed my time with this little man and his mama so much. Weller was just a ton of fun and I'm so glad I could capture this special age for his parents!
