Brooke at 6 months – McKinley Park

Oh what a happy little, fun little, cutie-pie was Brooke (or ‘Brookie’ as her parents call her) for her session to celebrate being 6 months old!

Mom, Mary, was referred to me through a Sacramento mom’s group and so I made the trip to the McKinley Park area recently to capture the whole family at this special milestone. 

Like many of my sessions with children at home, we began our session in Brooke’s nursery, where she is most comfortable. This helped her to get used to the intrusion of my lens very quickly. It also meant that I was able to capture the details of her room… something that can fade all-too-quickly in our memories as our children grow, move into big-girl beds and start picking their own wall colors!

‘Brookie’ is most certainly going to be an avid reader when she is older, as she already makes it a regular habit to read the Sacramento Bee’s business section with her daddy. Although, I have a feeling that Brooke’s idea of “reading” might not be the same as her dad’s (see below!)

To end our session we walked over to McKinley Park itself, where dad left us for work and I got to spend some time with Mary and Brooke in the beautiful spring sunlight.

Thanks to Ashlynn Gist for assisting me on this session.
