Six month old baby can sit well with support and can be placed for the session by themselves alone, or within a prop or low chair.
Most of the time they are happy to listen their parents voice. I ask the parents to stand behind the camera and continuously talk with their baby to get attention and looking at the camera.
Those big expressive eyes and happy smiles are bonus for the baby milestone session. The list modifiers are large to get a soft diffused light on the baby. Sitting props such as chairs or any raised surface are low lying so baby can be safe. Baby at this stage can't crawl but can fall sideways or backwards very easily.
Baby can be placed within a tumbler or be in a sitting pose surrounded by plush toys or be playing with a toy if parents got his favourite.
It is always a good idea to have a parent nearby to catch the baby if needed. Photos and session are adorable at this stage. As a baby milestone photographer this is one of my favourite stage to take pictures of those happy cute faces.
With good lighting, right contrast backdrop to go with baby outfit colours and some team work baby milestone sessions can by a wonderful experience not just for the parents but quite an accomplishment for the photographers to get some beautiful shots to capture.
