Ella’s Perfectly Styled 6 Month Milestone……

Seeing the McBrayer Family on my calendar for a Milestone Membership session is one of my favorite things y’all, and this 6 month milestone session definitely didn’t disappoint! I LOVE this sweet family to absolute PIECES! Getting to capture another fire family’s memories is always special, but when you quickly become close friends it is the ultimate cherry on top!

David (or who you have probably heard me refer to as Uselton… my favorite zero dollar an hour employee, resident best friend, and hubby for the past almost 16 years) had SO much fun getting to love on sweet Ella for her 6-month milestone session at their beautiful home in Calera, Alabama. This session was an adorable mix of gummy 2-toothed smiles, the sweetest giggles, family love, fluffy golden retrievers, and a nursery that feels like a dream come true. From the soft light streaming into the sweet, timeless moments shared, it was a PERFECT day celebrating Ella’s 1/2 birthday and her loving family.

A Dreamy Nursery to Match the Moment…

From the moment I stepped into the McBrayer home 6 months earlier for sweet Ella’s newborn session, I was immediately taken by the nursery they created for Ella. It’s everything you dream of when you think of a sweet baby girl’s room: light, airy, and oh-so-lovely. The soft pink and white color scheme instantly puts you at ease, while the delicate bow accents add a sweet, feminine touch that feels timeless. It’s clear that every detail was thoughtfully considered to make Ella’s space feel not only beautiful but filled with love. You can’t help but feel the care and attention in every corner, from the closet perfectly filled with the most STUNNING wardrobe to the sweet books and toys picked just for her.

The soft, natural light streaming through the windows only added to the magic of the room, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere that made the perfect setting for capturing Ella’s milestones. It’s one of those rooms where you instantly know that every moment spent there will be cherished forever.

Capturing a 6 Month Milestone- A Family Full of Love and Laughter…

But as beautiful as the nursery is, what really made this session stunningly unforgettable was the McBrayer family themselves. Watching Kendall and Brandon together with sweet Ella is truly special, and the outpouring of love between Mom, Dad, and little Ella was so palpable—it filled the room in the most beautiful way.

I couldn’t help but smile as I watched them with their sweet girl, always so gentle, so tender, and so proud of the little person she’s becoming. The way they looked at Ella with such adoration, their eyes lighting up every time she smiled or laughed, was truly heartwarming. You can tell this family is built on such deep love and connection. It’s a privilege to be able to capture those fleeting moments that express so much of what’s in their hearts.

And of course, I couldn’t forget the family’s two golden retrievers, Maverick and Isabelle. These fur babies are such a big part of the McBrayer family’s world, and it was heartwarming to see them interact with Ella. Whether they were laying nearby or gently checking on Ella, it was clear they adore her just as much as her parents do. Their playful energy and affectionate nature brought an extra layer of warmth and charm to the session.

Ella’s 6 Month Milestone- A Day Filled with Light, Love, and Joy

The session was filled with laughter, sweet moments, and so much light. Ella, with her bright eyes and contagious smile, was the star of the day. She was full of giggles, showing off how she could almost sit up on her own on the actually day of her 6 month milestone! Her joy was so pure and genuine—it felt like the whole world stopped for a moment to admire how perfect she is.

The light coming through the windows bathed Ella in a glow that was almost ethereal, and it was such a privilege to be able to capture these moments. As I captured these memories, I couldn’t help but think about how quickly time is passing. Six months has flown by in the blink of an eye, and it reminded me just how precious these early years are, especially watching our own wild, red headed 3 grow so big!

Getting the chance to Watch Ella grow, capturing her milestones, and getting to know and love her whole sweet family makes my heart so full ya’ll…

The Growing Journey…..

In just six short months, Ella has already grown and changed in so many ways, and this is just the beginning of a beautiful fairytale with many more milestones ahead….

Thank you Kendall and Brandon for letting me be a part of Ella’s journey, and your sweet family’s story. I can’t wait for more milestones and memories ahead!

Here’s to Ella, to family, and to the sweet moments that fill our hearts.
