A sitter session milestone portrait is the perfect opportunity to capture your little one’s milestones and blossoming personality once they’re sitting confidently on their own—typically around 6 to 9 months old, before they’re on the move.
This is such a special stage, as your baby’s cheeky character begins to shine! I absolutely adore photographing these moments and getting to know your little one—discovering the silly sounds and funny faces that spark their most contagious belly laughs. Those giggles, filled with pure joy, are what make these sessions truly magical. As always, family and sibling photographs are encouraged in your baby’s sitter milestone photo shoot too.
Let’s create timeless images of your baby’s delightful milestones that will bring a smile to your face for years to come!
In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to spend together as a family can feel like a challenge. But those fleeting moments when your little ones are still small and full of wonder are truly priceless. That’s why I encourage Mum, Dad, and siblings to join in during these sitter milestone sessions—it’s not just about capturing your baby’s milestones, but also celebrating the love and connections that make your family unique.
These sessions are about so much more than photographs; they’re about documenting the bonds that hold you together, the joy you share, and the little moments that make your family truly special. Whether it’s the way your baby lights up at Mum’s smile, the laughter shared with a big sibling, or the quiet love in Dad’s embrace, I’m here to preserve these heartfelt moments in timeless images.
These portraits will serve as a lasting reminder of the love that fills your family, to be cherished and passed down through generations. Let’s create something beautiful together—something that will make you smile every time you see it.
Every sitter milestone photography session is thoughtfully tailored to you and your baby. With a wide selection of color palettes and textures to choose from, I create creative yet timeless images that perfectly complement your baby’s unique skin tones and your home’s style. Together, we’ll design a session that reflects your vision and captures your little one’s personality.
Before your photoshoot, we’ll plan everything during a complimentary consultation. This ensures you feel fully prepared and confident, knowing the final images will exceed your expectations and become cherished pieces of art for your home.
Sitter sessions for babies aged 6 to 9 months are held at my beautiful studio in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire—a cosy and welcoming space where your little one can shine.
I can’t wait to welcome you and your family!

You will be invited back to my studio one to two weeks after your session to view your final gallery of approximately 20 beautifully enhanced and fully edited images. It’s at this point when you may decide which package you may want to purchase.
At Dinky Little Dot, the sitter photoshoot itself is free to attend — there’s no session fee to come along, relax, and have beautiful images taken of your baby in my cosy St Ives studio. You’re under no obligation to purchase a single image if you don’t wish to.
To secure your booking, a £50 non-refundable retainer is required. This isn’t a charge for the session — it simply holds your spot in my diary and will be deducted from any order you choose to make. If you decide not to purchase any images at all (which is absolutely fine), you won’t owe anything further — but your retainer won’t be refunded, as that time has been reserved just for you.
Should you fall in love with your images (and most families do), you’re welcome to choose from my carefully curated packages. If you’d prefer to order just a few images or prints rather than a full package, there is a minimum order fee of £549 for à la carte purchases. This covers the time and care involved in preparing, processing, and delivering your final images, prints, and digital files.
My aim is always to keep the process relaxed, enjoyable and totally pressure-free — so you can simply focus on making memories with your little one.
*Should there be more images in your final gallery on the viewing day, they are available to purchase at £30 per digital file.
** Upgrade to mounted prints in a personalised memory box available.
All of the images are printed onto the best quality paper. In addition to the prints you receive within your chosen package, you can order additional prints of your favourite photos. I offer professional grade prints as standard.
Your digital images are presented in high resolution on a USB drive. The digital file collections all include printing rights.
I understand that having the flexibility of buying the digital files allows you to produce prints, enlargements and albums. However, I firmly believe that the beautiful images we are going to create deserve to be displayed using only the best quality products.
