I first worked with Muyun and Zihao for their studio maternity session, which can be viewed by clicking here. Muyun emailed me after the birth of their son, Samuel, to reserve a 100 Days Old session. I LOVE this special milestone and think it's so special how their culture marks and celebrates babies at this specific point of infancy.
When they arrived, they informed me that they wanted to dress the whole family in clothing from the studio wardrobe. While I don't have a wide variety of options for baby boys, I do keep a few on hand. Samuel is quite a chunky little guy and was already in 6-12 month clothing. After Muyun chose her dress from the wardrobe, she chose a knitted one piece for him to wear that complemented her dress .
Samuel was such a happy and smiley little boy! He was also very strong and had great head and trunk control for pushing up. Every baby is different and some aren't quite doing that at 3 months old. I modify all of my sessions around babies and where they are developmentally for this reason. We can still get beautiful images of your baby in your arms or on your lap if they aren't sitting unassisted (or just don't feel like it!). Milestone sessions are such a special way to document your baby as they grow, and I absolutely love them. We see a lot of babies come in for 100 days/3-5 months, and then 6-8 months followed by First Birthday celebrations. Every milestone marker is unique and it's so neat to watch the progression of babies over their first year of life in photographs. Several of our clients have opted to create an album of that first year and it's such a wonderful and treasured keepsake.
Enjoy just a few of my favorite images from Samuel's 100 Day session!
