Six months. That in-between place.
Still tiny, but suddenly sitting up.
Still baby, but full of personality.
These sessions are quiet little time capsules—
before the crawling, before the running,
before they’re off to chase the world.

Two girls, two seasons—
and a dad who shows up for both.

Big smile. Little boots.
The kind of joy you don’t have to pose.
She wasn’t trying to be anything but herself—
and that’s exactly what makes this magic.

These are the moments that stay with us forever.
Because sometimes the smallest things really do take up the most room in your heart.💛

Because “sit still and smile” is not in their vocabulary
And honestly? I wouldn’t want it to be.
The laughter mid-air, the tiny toes kicking, the wild beach breeze—that’s the magic.
These aren’t just photos of your kids behaving… they’re memories of them being.
Because years from now, you won’t miss the perfectly posed moments—you’ll miss this. The sound of their giggle. The weight of them in your arms. The way they lit up when you played airplane.
Let’s capture that.

Changing every day, in every possible way.
That’s the thing about childhood—it doesn’t wait.
One moment they’re clinging to your hand, the next they’re sprinting ahead.
You won’t remember every snack meltdown or muddy shoe…
But this?
This is what you’ll hold on to.
