Stella | Six Months | Seattle Baby Photographer

Happy Friday Internet!! It’s “June-uary” here in the Pacific Northwest which means us Seattlites spend a lot of time being confused. We’re camping in the rain and throwing garden parties in the hail. We go to work in rain boots and layers, strip it all off by lunch time and stand around outside remarking on the warm 58 degree weather. By evening we’re turning on the heater and obsessively refreshing the weather dot com page to see if the weekend forecast has changed in the last 5mins. Okay, that last part might just be me. June-uary makes it very difficult to plan outdoor sessions!! No matter; sessions at home are pretty special too.

A couple of weekends ago I arrived at Stella’s home for her six month portraits. She was dressed cute as a button in a pink polka dot dress which was a big contrast to the white onesied newborn I met last December. It warmed my heart to see pictures from that session framed and proudly displayed on their walls. This time around Stella was giggling and playful…well…mostly. She also gave me some of the grumpiest looks I’ve ever seen on such a darling little girl! About halfway through the session I called a time out. Something was not right and Stella was just not into the session at all. Mom and Dad agreed that she was not her usual self and we planned a follow up session for the next weekend. Turns out, Stella broke out in a fever later that evening. No wonder she was so grumpy! I’m so glad we decided to try again another day because the next time around she was definitely feeling better and we captured some pretty sweet expressions.

Now, I don’t know if it’s the light in their home or them specifically, but this family looks awesome in black and white! Of course, I offer all the color versions to mom and dad too but here on the blog I’m showcasing my favorite look. What do you think Internet? Do you dig it?

Oh, yeah! The slide shows got a makeover. Check it out…
