• Miles is Six Months. | Frederick County Maryland Baby Photographer | Katie Ballantine Photography

    April 16, 2019 /

    Erin, Colton, and Miles came for a visit last week while Eric was away on a work trip.  Miles turned 6 months old at the end of last month, so I was excited to capture this milestone.  He’s the happiest, sweetest, chunkiest little love.  I love him to pieces.   And Colton is such a good big brother.  He loves to help feed him and take care of him. It was such an amazing week having them around. Enjoy this cutie’s 6 month portraits! Mix of digital & fuji400h film developed and scanned by Richard Photo Lab

    I’ve been photographing this sweet boy since he was a newborn, and his gorgeous mama since she was carrying him.  I cannot believe it’s already time to share his one-year session!  He is such a fun little man with an adorable personality.  I could look at that smile all day!  I”m sure his mama and daddy are loving life with this beautiful baby boy.
