Baby Mia: 6 Months

Posted on August 15, 2012 by Elizabeth McDonnell

Mia Shirley is a doll. Truly the sweetest disposition of any baby. Plus, she is adorable! I recently photographed this ‘doll’ for her 6-month photo documentation. (Mia’s Mom has hired me to do a ‘First year in the life’ photo documentation of Mia’s entire first year of life). Mia’s Mom, Dad and big brother Max came along to help and watch, so we got a few of theses guys as well.

I just love this sweet little face, look how excited she is! The bows on the back of her dress, also had to be documented. I love details!

We managed to get a couple family photos, even though this shoot was all about Mia. Look forward to seeing this family again, when we do their holiday photo shoot this fall!

I just love this little back shot!

Mia and her mama.

Everything blooms in the desert when we finally get some rain! These bright cheerie flowers remind me of Mia!

I had to take a few of Mia’s big brother Max. What cute kids the Shirley’s have!

I love this last one! This will definitely make her album!

Thank you Shirley family!

Charlie Turn’s ONE.

It’s not everyday that Charlie Borland turns one! Naturally, you have to document it. Charlie’s parents were married at the Arizona Inn almost 4 years ago, so it made sense to document Charlie turning one, in a place that is both sentimental and beautiful. Below are the images we caught of Charlie, his personality, and his handsome good looks!

Charlie is in a phase, where he wants to know what everything is…”uh-daaat?”. I love this pointing picture…you can almost hear him say it!

I love his little balloons! Unfortunately, most of the balloon shots didn’t work out because he was a little distracted (obviously!)…but we did get this one! He looks a tho he might just fly away!
