6 month, baby boy, milestone session
Nestled in the heart of Vestavia Hills, Altadena Valley Park is a hidden gem perfect for your next family photography session. It’s open green spaces offer a natural backdrop that beautifully complements any family dynamic.
Whether you’re celebrating a special milestone or simply want to preserve your family at this moment in time, Altadena Valley Park sets the scene for genuine, candid moments. Sunrise and sunset sessions are ideal here, with soft, golden light filtering through the trees for that perfect natural glow.
Families love the relaxed atmosphere—kids and dogs can explore while parents enjoy the moment, making it easy to capture those unposed, authentic smiles. Plus, the park’s accessibility, easy parking and available restrooms make your session stress-free from start to finish.
This is, by far, my favorite Birmingham location for family photography sessions. Sunrise is always my preferred time of the day but the park is beautiful for sunset sessions, as well.
This session took place at sunrise in early June. Sunrise sessions are the perfect time for sessions in the summer and for young children since the sun sets later in the day and young children are, often, not their happiest.
This sweet baby was celebrating turning 6 months and learning to sit. Sitter sessions are skipped more often than not but look at all the cuteness you would miss out on.
