Aryanraj (Ari) was such a happy little guy for his baby milestone session! He is right around 6/7 months old which was a perfect time to capture him sitting, smiling, and getting updated photos with his parents. And when I say he was happy, boy was he happy and was truly such a joy to photograph!

Ari’s mom had selected the blue balloon background first to coordinate with an adorable little shirt and boy tie. Ari was super close to sitting up unassisted, too, so we started with my pillow behind him just in case he fell backwards, but he held his own for long stretches of time which was awesome! It also allowed us to swap out various props like blocks or a lantern while he smiled at us.

We also got a few tummy time photos but Ari is super close to being mobile and kept getting up on his knees and propelling forward. His parents said he does the army crawl at home and I believe it! He’ll be moving in no time!

After several photos with both mom and dad, we let Ari try sitting again without a pillow and he totally rocked it for a few minutes - long enough for some quick photos. He sat in my bucket, played with blocks, and was just starting to get tired when we snagged our final tummy time/pre-crawling photo.

What a fun time with this group and I can’t wait to see them all again in a few months when Ari turns one. I bet he’ll be all over the place by then and I hope he keeps that happy smile.
