Why Sitter Sessions Are a Must-Have Milestone | 6–8 Month Baby Photography

That sweet stage when your baby can sit up but isn’t quite crawling yet? It’s pure magic—and it goes by in a blink. That’s exactly why Sitter Sessions (typically around 6–8 months) are one of the most cherished milestones to capture.

What Is a Sitter Session?

A sitter session is a special photo shoot designed for babies who can sit up independently (usually between 6 and 8 months). It’s the perfect time to photograph your baby’s big personality, gummy smiles, chunky rolls, and adorable curiosity.

This stage is full of joy and expression—babies are alert, happy, and so full of character. And because they’re not quite on the move yet, it’s much easier to capture those perfectly posed moments!

What to Expect

All sitter sessions are done in my cozy West Windsor studio with access to a variety of beautiful props, outfits, and setups. Whether you love a minimal, timeless look or want to go playful and colorful, we’ll design a session that reflects your baby’s personality.

I keep the session fun and relaxed, allowing plenty of time for snack breaks, snuggles, and outfit changes (if needed). Safety is always a priority, and everything is cleaned and prepared for your little one’s comfort.

What’s Included

Sitter sessions typically include:

• 30–45 minute studio session

• Full use of props and outfits

• A selection of professionally edited digital images

• Optional add-ons like family or sibling photos

And don’t forget—many clients who book newborn sessions with me receive complimentary images for their sitter session as a bonus! It’s my way of saying thank you and celebrating your baby’s journey.

Why You’ll Love It

Sitter sessions capture that golden in-between time—your baby’s personality is blooming, they’re full of giggles and wonder, and you’ll walk away with memories you’ll treasure forever.

If your baby is reaching that sitting milestone, let’s document it in a joyful and timeless way. These are the photos that will make your heart melt every time you see them.
