Hinsdale Baby Photographer, Naperville Baby Photographer
Babies, babies everywhere! LOL I rarely photograph three month old babies. I, personally, recommend pictures done for newborn, six months, and twelve months. I think three months is too similar to newborn, and nine months is too similar to six months. But when you don’t get around to having newborn pictures, by all means – get some done at three months! Most three months old still really struggle with lifting the head high enough to see their faces well, but they are too active to really “pose”. Well, while mom and grandma were getting beautified by both of my professional makeup artists, dad and I worked with this little girl. I couldn’t believe she was only three months old! She looked like a five month old! But she couldn’t lift her head high enough for great pictures, so I decided to put her in one of my favorite newborn baskets. She was quite happy in it. I love her little rolls!
Then we had a little bit of naked time. She was actually getting a little cranky, but I quickly learned that grandpa could always make her smile. He was above her here.
Then it was time to get her dressed into one of her fancy dresses. Look at that big smile.
I’m not sure what was going on here, but I love her expression.
Then it was cranky time, which very quickly turned into sleepy time. It was the perfect time for some family pictures with mom and dad.
And then with grandma and grandpa. I love this one of them.
And I couldn’t pass up the chance to photograph grandpa and his little girl. He has a special bond with her and was always the first to calm her. I hope years from now, they look back at this and show her to remind her of how much she loved him.
