I love babies at 6 months. They are JUUUUST starting to develop a personality. Cooperation levels are always a little more on their own terms during these sessions as well :)
So often during a 6 month session a parent will say "I don't know why s/he isn't smiling - they ALWAYS smile!" Well, parents, its because they have their own agenda and they don't want to - and so, decidedly, they will not.
Such was the case with Miss Audrey. Audrey's new "trick" was sucking her lower lip. So, rather than give me big grins, she pursed her lips for almost the entire session.
Whats important to remember during a milestone session, is that the purpose of the session is to capture your child at that stage in life. If they've just learned to do something new, then those pictures will reflect who they are at that particular moment in time - smiley or not, you can't get any more perfect than that. After all, the purpose of lifestyle photography is to document. And while a few years down the road, you may forget what baby was doing at this life point - the photos will be there to remind you.
Thanks to the uber-adorable Audrey for the lesson :)

Well said! Looking back on photos of my two boys, it's always the photos that show off some of their 'personalities' that I love the most.
Smile or no smile that little girl is adorable! Those EYES!! GAH!
