Frequently Asked Questions

It’s natural to have questions about your baby’s sitter photography session, as you’ll want to make sure you’re choosing the best photographer for you and your family. I have tried to answer the most common questions here for you. 

If you have any other questions at all, please do get in touch and I’ll be happy to answer them for you.

What age is best for a sitter session?

Sitter sessions are ideal for babies who can sit confidently on their own but aren’t yet crawling – usually between 6 to 9 months. This sweet spot gives us gorgeous expressions, steady posture, and minimal movement for a safe and relaxed session.

Do I need to bring outfits or props with me?

No need! I have a curated wardrobe of soft, neutral outfits in the studio, along with simple, timeless props and blankets. Everything is styled to keep the focus on your baby and create a beautiful, cohesive gallery.

How long does a sitter session take?

Sitter sessions typically last around 45 minutes to an hour; long enough to capture a variety of expressions and setups, but short enough to keep your baby happy and engaged.

Can siblings and parents be included?

Absolutely – and I actively encourage it! These first family portraits are incredibly special. I’ll guide you all into natural, flattering poses you’ll love to look back on.

What happens if my baby is fussy or tired on the day?

That’s completely normal, and nothing to worry about. Sessions are baby-led, with plenty of time for cuddles, breaks, and snack stops. I only book one session at a time, so we’ll never feel rushed.

What should I bring with me?

Just the essentials for your baby — a snack, drink, and any comfort item they love. I have everything else in the studio, including nappies, wipes, skincare and a fully stocked changing station.

How much does it cost?

There is a £99 session fee to secure your booking, which includes your consultation, studio time, styling, and preparation. After the session, you’ll be invited back for a viewing appointment where you can choose from digital images, printed artwork, or value-packed collections. Full pricing can be found above.

Do I need to choose a package before the session?

Not at all. You’ll only decide once you’ve seen your finished images at your viewing appointment. This means you can choose what feels right for your family without any pressure or upfront commitment.

Can I match the colours or style with a previous session (like newborn)?

Yes — many families choose to continue a consistent colour palette or styling across milestone sessions for a cohesive look throughout their baby’s first year. Just let me know what you’d like, and we’ll make it happen.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, I offer 0% interest payment plans on orders over £400 if you’d prefer to spread the cost. More details are available at your viewing appointment.

Get in Touch

If you’d like to make a booking or have a question, you can get in touch here.
