What is a Sitter Session?

A sitter session is a special baby photography session designed for little ones who can sit up unassisted, usually between 6-9 months old. This milestone is an absolute joy to photograph because babies are full of personality, curiosity, and the best gummy smiles. Unlike newborn sessions, which focus on those tiny, curled-up poses, sitter sessions are all about big expressions, chubby cheeks, and wide-eyed wonder.

Thinking about booking a milestone session for your little one? Read on to see why a sitter session is a must!

Why Book a Sitter Session?

1. Capture Their Growing Personality

At 6-9 months, babies are full of expression—from big belly laughs to the cutest little pouts. This is the perfect time to capture those bright eyes and toothless grins before they move on to the next stage of exploration.

2. Timeless and Beautiful Portraits

Unlike the early newborn days, sitter sessions let us capture your baby in gorgeous outfits, fun props, and adorable setups without the rush of a cake smash session. The result? Stunning, classic portraits you’ll treasure forever.

3. Easier and More Relaxed than a Newborn Session

Sitter sessions are quick and fun! Since babies aren’t mobile yet, we can capture perfect moments without chasing after them. Plus, sessions are usually 30-45 minutes, making them stress-free for both parents and baby.

4. The Best Time Before the Toddler Stage

That perfect chubby baby stage doesn’t last long! Before you know it, they’ll be crawling, walking, and getting into everything. A sitter session freezes this sweet and fleeting stage before they turn into full-blown toddlers.

When is the Best Time to Book a Sitter Session?

If your baby is approaching the 6-month mark, now is the perfect time to plan your milestone session. Every baby develops differently, so we usually schedule the session when they can sit up steadily without toppling over but before they start crawling (typically between 6-9 months).

📅 Best tip? Book early! My schedule fills up quickly, and I love planning customized sessions that fit your baby’s personality.
