Looking for family portrait photography that balances professional quality with genuine moments? Sessions should feel relaxed and joyful, creating space for both classic portraits and delightful surprises—like when this adorable 8-month-old decided to demonstrate her athletic abilities mid-session.
Classic baby portraits typically start with getting little ones to look at the camera and smile. This session delivered those traditional images beautifully. Then this little cutie decided to ham things up with what I can only describe as baby push-ups on the dining room table. Downward dog? Core strengthening exercise? Whatever her intention, the result was hilarious and absolutely worth capturing.
The pure joy on her face while showing off her newfound skill just warms my heart. This is why editorial-style baby photography embraces both planned portraits and spontaneous moments—because personality shines through when babies are simply being themselves, even when "themselves" means unexpectedly athletic.
Note that her parents stood on either side of the table throughout, ready to catch her if she ventured toward the edge. The dining table provided excellent height for natural window light while maintaining complete safety with attentive parents acting as spotters.
Focused on safety first, with loads of fun along the way. Contact me to book your session and discover what adorable moments might unfold.
