But first, what is a sitter Session?

Sitter refers to babies who have reached the age of ‘’sitting’’.

It usually occurs between 6 and 10 months, however it might vary from baby to baby based on their physical milestones. 

The ideal moment is when they are able to sit firmly without assistance but have not yet begun to walk. 

So I would recommend to book your session for within a month when starting to sit confidently without your help.

Why is Sitter one of my favourite ♥︎

We’ll see more of your baby’s personality

Babies this age are normally pretty comfortable interacting with strangers — they haven't yet developed a fear of strangers. This means they're open to interacting with the photographer, who can catch a wide range of emotions, from big gummy smiles to lengthy, solemn looks.

Once babies are fully mobile they want to explore

When newborns are fully mobile, they like to explore and assert their individuality. They might not like being in front of the camera since they want to wander about and investigate. When your baby is comfortable sitting but not fully mobile – you will be able to capture a lot of personality and variation in the images without your baby feeling frustrated. This is the time when they have got gorgeous rolls, enjoy playing with their toes and find he smallest things hilarious !

Newborn Vs Sitter 

If you're familiar with my work, you'll know how much I LOVE newborn sessions. But I understand that not everyone can obtain those first few weeks for various reasons. Time slips away, or too tired after labour. The next best moment to capture your baby is when he or she is able to sitter. And for those who have done a newborn session by this age, they are vastly different. Not only are they gorgeous and full of cuteness, but I think this is a terrific age to capture the beginnings of their personality. Sitters have it all, from large cheeky smiles to chubby legs and arms to more serious looks.
