There’s something extra special about photographing families during a baby’s first year—especially in those in-between months when personality is starting to shine. The Duman family’s outdoor mini session at Boaz Park was the perfect way to document this fleeting season with their smiley 7-month-old.
Mini sessions are designed to be quick and relaxed, but that doesn’t mean they’re short on meaning. With soft light, natural movement, and a calm pace, this session focused on connection—parents soaking in their baby’s giggles, tiny hands reaching out, and those unmistakable expressions that seem to change overnight.
At seven months, everything feels new. The curiosity. The joy. The way a baby lights up just from being held close. This stage passes quickly, which is why mini sessions are such a great option for families who want updated photos without overthinking the process. Simple planning. Gentle guidance. Plenty of room for real moments to unfold.
Boaz Park provided a beautiful, natural backdrop that kept the focus exactly where it belonged—on the Duman family and their growing bond. These images are a reminder that even a short session can preserve something lasting.
Because one day, this baby won’t be so little anymore—and these photos will bring you right back to how it all felt.
