In-Home Lifestyle Session | The Kohnke Family | Motherhood Session | 6 month Milestone In-Home Session | OC Baby Photographer | Cori Kleckner Photography
One of my absolute favorite ages to photograph is the 5–6-month milestone. Babies at this stage are bursting with personality, full of expression, and starting to sit up—yet still small enough to rest on mama’s hip with those sweet dangling legs and chunky rolls that melt your heart. This in-between age often gets overlooked by families who go straight from newborn to one-year sessions, but I’m here to say: don’t skip it. It’s such a fleeting, beautiful window of time—and one of the most joyful to document.
This in-home baby milestone session with the Kohnke family in Orange County was such a dream. I’ve had the honor of photographing this beautiful mama and her baby girl during their newborn session, and I was so thrilled when she reached out to capture this next chapter of their journey.
There’s something so organic and calming about photographing families in the comfort of their own home. Everything is easily accessible, babies feel at ease, and we can truly focus on the essence of this season—motherhood. This mama wanted to slow down and preserve this sweet stage, especially those big, soulful blue eyes that say so much without a word.
Whether you’re searching for an Orange County baby photographer, family photographer, or hoping to plan a 6-month milestone session, I encourage you not to let this stage slip away. These tiny moments—the belly laughs, the soft snuggles, the baby toes peeking out from mama’s lap—are ones you’ll never regret preserving.
If you’re considering an in-home session in Orange County, reach out. I’d love to help you tell your story.
