You guys might remember lauren and reed from earlier this year when i did reed’s newborn photos. Jeff wasn’t able to make it to that session (silly work) so we made plans that day for family photography in the fall. this age, around 6/7 months, is one of my most favorite ages! Babies are really starting to laugh and smile a whole lot and they aren’t mobile yet. I’m absolutely in love with these images, that might have something to do with the people in them. I adore this team. lauren is seriously one of the nicest, sweetest, friendliest people i’ve ever met. and jeff loves her so much. its no surprise that baby reed is just as friendly. We went to dinner after this session and once he woke up, reed was perfectly content to sit with me and give me lots of those gummy grins. Enjoy some of my favorites from this session!

reed’s favorite things:
reeds favorite foods right now:
We started feeding Reed baby oatmeal about a month ago. He’s finally eating it more than wearing it!
reeds least favorite foods right now:
He doesn’t have too many options yet, but he’s a big eater, so I can’t imagine him turning much down!
favorite reed moment/memory so far:
Every morning during the week, I stand over his crib to wake him up, and I try to let him get up slowly. He stretches for a little bit, and then his eyes will pop open, and as soon as he looks at me, his face lights up into a big grin.
It is the best part of the day, and a great incentive to get up early!
one baby item you couldn’t live without:
A video monitor- it’s been 6 months, and we still glance at it all the time to make sure his chest is going up and down so we know that he is still breathing!
any advice for new parents:
Everything is trial and error. What works for one child, may not work for another. What works on Monday, may not work come Wednesday! The things we do to get smiles may be ridiculous, but it’s totally worth it 🙂
