Your baby’s first year goes by so quickly – those first smiles, tiny toes, and curious eyes change in what feels like a heartbeat. That’s why a half-birthday photoshoot is such a wonderful way to capture this precious milestone. At six months old, babies are often sitting up, giggling, and showing off their unique personalities – the perfect time for a relaxed outdoor baby photography session.

Why Choose a Half-Birthday Baby Photoshoot?
1. Capture a Special Milestone
Six months marks such an exciting stage. Babies are more expressive, often starting to sit with support, and love interacting with the world around them. A 6-month baby photoshoot beautifully documents this stage before they grow again all too quickly.
2. Natural Outdoor Backdrops
Taking your baby’s half-birthday photos outdoors adds a timeless, natural feel. Meadows, gardens, or open countryside in Kent create a soft and organic backdrop, letting your baby be the star of the images.

3. Relaxed and Playful Sessions
Outdoors, babies can watch the trees, feel the breeze, and enjoy the fresh air – all of which bring out genuine smiles and curiosity. My style is relaxed and baby-led, capturing your little one just as they are, without pressure or posing.
4. Create Memories for the First Year Album
Half-birthday photos fit beautifully into your baby’s first-year collection. Combined with newborn and first birthday portraits, they tell the full story of your baby’s incredible first twelve months.

What Happens During an Outdoor Baby Photoshoot?
Your session will be calm and flexible, keeping your baby’s comfort at the heart of everything. We’ll find a quiet, beautiful spot outdoors, bring a blanket for cosy moments, and let your little one guide the pace. From giggles on a blanket to curious looks at the world around them, the photos will capture natural, heartfelt memories.
Tips for a Beautiful Half-Birthday Shoot
Dress your baby in simple, neutral clothing to keep the focus on them.
Bring a favourite toy or comforter to help them feel at ease.
Schedule around nap time so your baby is happy and rested.
Be prepared for cuddles – parent snuggles make for the sweetest photos.
