Sweet Smiles from a 5-Month-Old Session in Louisville, KY

There’s something so special about photographing babies around three months old. They’re full of curiosity, starting to recognize faces, and those giggles and gummy smiles are absolutely contagious. I recently had the joy of capturing a milestone session with the sweetest little 5-month-old, and I couldn’t stop smiling behind the camera the entire time!

At this age, babies are just beginning to show off their personalities — their expressions, their coos, and their adorable reactions to mom and dad’s voices. They’re not quite sitting up yet, which makes milestone photography all about capturing those cozy, snuggly moments: soft swaddles, tummy-time grins, and wide-eyed wonder as they explore the world around them.

For this session, I kept things simple and timeless — warm tones, soft textures, and gentle light that highlighted every little detail. I love creating baby portraits that feel natural and classic, the kind that parents will treasure for years to come. Whether it’s those tiny fingers, round cheeks, or the sparkle in their eyes, every photo tells a story of love and growth.

Three-month sessions are also the perfect way to fill that gap between newborn and sitter milestones. Babies change so quickly in these early months, and it’s so special to document each stage of their journey.

If you’re a parent in Louisville, Bardstown, or the surrounding Kentucky areas and you’ve been thinking about booking a milestone or baby photography session, now is the perfect time! These sweet moments pass faster than you can imagine — and preserving them through photos is truly priceless.
