A cozy at-home milestone session in Montgomery County, Maryland

At six months old, babies begin to show the world who they are. Their smiles have a little more purpose. Their eyes follow with curiosity. Their personalities start to peek through—distinct, expressive, and entirely their own. With twins like Lillian and Autumn, each moment holds a double dose of charm.

This session brought us back to the Senter family’s home in Gaithersburg. It’s where I had documented their maternity session, and later, their newborn photos. Now, half a year into parenting, the energy in the house felt calm and assured. There was a rhythm to their days, and you could feel it from the moment you stepped inside.

Zarah and Jay moved through the session with the ease that often takes years to develop. They’ve stepped into this new season with quiet confidence, the kind that comes from long nights and deep love. You could see it in the way they held their daughters. The girls responded with wide smiles and happy little squeals, always eager for a glance from mom or dad.

Since it was photographed right before February, the session had a subtle Valentine’s Day feel. Soft pinks, heart details, and cozy textures created a palette that matched the girls’ easy sweetness. They wore little headbands and sat propped up, delighting in their ability to stay upright. One would babble while the other blinked slowly, and just when you thought they were done, both would burst into giggles.

Milestone sessions are never about perfection. They’re about noticing. The curve of a dimple, the way one sister reaches out to touch the other’s hand, the way a family grows more connected with time. It’s that in-between season where everything is changing—but still, for a moment, feels completely still.

The Complete Motherhood Collection exists for exactly this reason. To tell the full story. Not just the anticipation of pregnancy or the awe of newborn days, but these quieter chapters too. Watching Lillian and Autumn grow over their first year is an honor. And capturing these small, ordinary wonders is what makes this work matter.
