One of the most amazing things about being a newborn photographer is getting to experience the world through the eyes of the tiniest, most curious people ever! I love getting to see how growing infants and toddlers experience the sights, sounds, and textures that are all around them, and little Mara was so full of wide-eyed excitement throughout her photo session that I couldn’t wait to share her images.
SIX MONTH BABY GIRL PORTRAIT IDEAS
This photo captures the wonder at every turn as Mara experiences the lights of the studio and all the brand-new things to see and explore. Wearing a flower crown and holding a string of pearls, she sat comfortably on a furry white throw while I used the camera and professional lighting to zero in on her perfectly sweet expression and twinkling blue eyes. Could her delighted expression be any cuter?!
A WIDE VARIETY OF NEWBORN & BABY PROPS IN STUDIO
Families get tons of choices of props and backgrounds when in studio, and we work together to make sure you always get the portrait collection you’re dreaming of for your little one. I especially love this pose because it’s a fun and modern twist on the traditional “birthday suit” portrait that lots of parents love, except here, Mara is modestly positioned to show only the softest little baby arms, legs, and her perfect face.
Her precious look of concentration as she plays with the strand of pearls is one the whole family will want to remember. Little Mara’s inquisitive side is delightful, and it makes us all wonder what she’ll be exploring next!
RUB-A-DUB, SWEET GIRL IN A TUB
This vintage-style tub is a favorite for lots of families, and it works for a variety of infant age ranges, too! At 6 months old, baby Mara shows off her sitting-up skills. Plus, with rounded sides all around, this little tub provides the perfect bit of extra support…just in case little ones lose their balance and start to lean.
With pink and ivory flowers scattered all around and an heirloom piece of silver from mom’s childhood to top off the scene and add special meaning, Mara looks right at home settled in for the cutest bubble bath around.
A great idea for parents who are looking to show off that soft baby skin and even a few of those adorable baby rolls before their little one grows up too much, this is a pretty and contemporary take on the classic baby-in-a-tub photo. Mara’s mom opted for the soft, feminine feel of flowers in pink and ivory with a fur rug for a cozy, soft effect…a lovely setting that adds the sweet girly touch the family was looking for.
TUTU CUTE & FULL OF SMILES
Precious Mara looks ready to take on the world just as soon as she starts toddling! Watch out world—and mom and dad—because this little one is full of curiosity and ready to explore everything around her.
PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY CAPTURES SWEET BABY GIRL EXPRESSIONS
Mara’s expressions were absolutely priceless, and with this fluffy, furry rug tickling her tiny toes, the smiles were too many to count. Dressed in a tiny tutu in blush pink and a dainty pink headband, little Mara was happy and content perched on this mini version of a brass bed. She was surrounded by fluff and soft surfaces galore, so it was just the right spot for a little girl who’s ready to discover everything she can get her hands on!
The camera couldn’t help but love little Mara’s sparkling blue eyes, so every chance I got, I made sure to capture their twinkle. She looks like a charming and regal little goddess as she poses sitting up tall with her serious face, too!
GAINESVILLE PHOTOGRAPHER CAPTURES INFANT MILESTONES
One of the heartwarming things about photographing infants as they grow and meet different milestones is seeing how they change so quickly. Everything from swaddling to rolling over to sitting and crawling is part of their growing-up memories, and Andrea Sollenberger Photography is focused on working with families and sharing the importance of creating keepsake portrait packages that capture all the big—and little—moments that go by in a blink!
TINY FINGERS, TINY TOES
Oh, the concentration it takes to discover new things! Mara’s captivated and focused expression is precious as she focuses on grasping the beads that are in her hands and wiggling her toes in tandem. She’s at the perfect toe-grabbing, finger-discovering, crawling, rolling, and playing age…and these early portraits are sure to be treasured keepsakes as baby Mara grows through the years.
This soft, furry rug is so versatile and comfy that it can be used for a number of different looks, and the great thing is that it makes baby feel right at home while I’m busy taking photos! Neutrals are a great way to help you blend in your favorite pops of color, and my studio is stocked to the brim with plenty of mix-and-match accent pieces we can use to create unique settings for your little one.
SIX-MONTHS-NEW & ON THE MOVE
Little Mara stole the show in this pastel pink ballerina tutu as she laughed and played and crawled the day away! You can never quite predict the images you’ll be able to capture when little ones are on the move, but one thing that can be guaranteed is extra cuteness factor as they wiggle and giggle their way toward every new adventure.
LOVELY LITTLE GIRL ON A CLOUD OF WHITE
Sitting on the softest bed of poofy white, baby Mara looks just like she’s floating on a cloud! A super-fun way to engage her tactile senses and encourage her to explore and move around, this fuzzy neutral throw added a serious fun factor to the day. It’s a comfortable and functional prop for little ones—whether they’re on the move or wrapped up and snoozing soundly.
CREATIVE PHOTOS FOR EVERY MILESTONE MOMENT
A change of perspective caught a bright-eyed Mara looking up at the camera as she sat in a fluffy circle of light pink tulle. The combination of pure innocence and curiosity on her little face is priceless in this image, and her beautiful eyes sparkle as they stand out even more from this angle.
When it comes to photographing and preserving your most precious memories, it’s so important to choose a professional photographer who is willing to go above and beyond to capture those one-of-a-kind moments.

TICKLED PINK WITH SMILES TO SPARE
I’m not sure who ended up having the most fun at baby Mara’s session! I loved seeing her sweet and vibrant personality as she discovered exciting new things, and her mom enjoyed the process of capturing her little girl’s most precious baby moments. But it’s clear to see from Mara’s grin that she was over the moon about getting to giggle and play in a made-just-for-her space!
