Sitter session is a special milestone, when babies have grown enough to sit up on their own but aren't yet crawling or walking. This makes them the perfect age for capturing some adorable and memorable photos!


As a photographer who specializes in newborn and family portraits, I love sitter sessions because they allow me to capture the unique personality and expressions of each baby in a natural and relaxed way. Without them running away just yet!

At this age, babies are full of curiosity and wonder, and they love to explore the world around them. My job is to capture those moments. I love to encourage babies to play with toys and simply be themselves.


Even though the images might seem like the session was posed, it truly is not. We can't make a baby do something at the exact moment that we want it. So we have to capture their movements and expressions as they naturally happen.

During a sitter session, I typically use a variety of props and backdrops to create a fun and colorful environment for the baby. From baskets to blankets, toys to hats, there are countless options to choose from depending on the baby's interests and personality. I work closely with parents to create a custom session that reflects their style and preferences, and I'm always open to trying new ideas.
