Sitting Baby Photographs
What are they and why should I do one?

I offer sitter sessios for babies who are sitting up and beginning to explore their world. It’s a great time to record the next milestone in your little one’s life!
For some babies, sitting happens as early as 5 months, whereas others are abit later, so I don’t specify an age for these sessions. It’s up to you – and your little one -to decide when you are ready for the next stage!
You can choose to have your little one photographed on their own, or take the opportunity to capture some family images, too. At this time of year I get lots of requests to add in family images so that you can plan to give portraits as Christmas presents to family! However, if you would prefer to keep it just for your little one then I will make it really special and lots of fun for them.
A great way to captue something a bit different is to include a strawberries and cream bath. You don’t have to use strawberries – any fruit works well. And don’t worry if your little one doesn’t eat dairy – we can use a dairy alternative milk instead. In fact, I often use coconut milk – it’s so good for your little one’s skin, and smells delicious. too!
If you have been to Capture the Light Photography for a newborn session, I will get in touch as your little one grows bigger to offer you a sitter session. But even if you have never been to me before, I’d love to meet your little one!
A sitter session does tend to feel very different to a newborn appointment. With new babies, we take our time and it’s very calm and relaxed. Whereas an older little one gets bored quickly, so I move more quickly and try to keep them cheerful and engaged throughout
You can choose from a light, bright and airy look to your images, or a darker, fine art portraiture vibe. Or, if you can’t decide, then we can try a bit of both!
I love seeing little ones grow and develop as they get older. By the time they are sitting, they have begun to develop their own little personalities and even have a bit of attitude! It’s such a lovely thing to track how your baby grows in their first year.
