📷 Sitter Session Photography in London – The Sweetest Milestone Between Newborn & First Birthday

When your baby learns to sit up independently, the world becomes a new playground — and it’s the perfect moment for a sitter session. These photo sessions, usually scheduled between 6 and 9 months, capture one of the most joyful and expressive stages of your baby’s development.

As a London-based baby photographer, I love creating natural, warm and timeless images of this precious milestone — right in the comfort of your home.

👶 What Is a Sitter Session?

A sitter session is a baby photoshoot that takes place when your little one can sit unaided (but is not yet walking). This stage is usually full of smiles, chubby legs, curiosity, and tons of personality.

These sessions are all about:

• Joyful expressions

• Chubby cheeks and baby rolls

• Eye contact and interaction

• Cute outfits and themed setups

🏠 Why Choose an In-Home Sitter Photoshoot?

As a sitter session photographer in London, I specialise in in-home photo sessions. That means I bring everything — from adorable props and outfits to soft backdrops — and you can relax in your own space, without the stress of packing and travelling.

Benefits of an in-home sitter session:

• A familiar environment for your baby

• Access to feeding, changing, and comfort

• No travel time or studio stress

• A completely personalised experience

🧸 What's Included in a Sitter Milestone Session?

Here’s what you can expect when you book a sitter photo session with me:

• 2 to 4 styled setups (depending on the package)

• All props, outfits, and accessories provided

• Gentle, baby-led posing

• 10–30 professionally edited images (depending on package)

• Online gallery for image selection and download

Sessions typically last 1.5 to 2.5 hours, allowing plenty of time to follow your baby’s rhythm.

📅 When Is the Best Time for a Sitter Photoshoot?

Every baby is different, but the ideal window is between 6 and 9 months, when your baby can sit up independently and is full of giggles, but not yet crawling too fast.

If you’re unsure whether your little one is ready, just ask me! I’m happy to guide you through.

🧠 Pro Tip: Why You Shouldn't Skip the Sitter Stage

Many parents book newborn and 1st birthday sessions, but forget about the sweet middle — the sitter stage. Yet this is often the time when babies are most expressive, relaxed, and full of unique charm.

Don’t miss out on the chance to preserve this once-in-a-lifetime chapter.
