I'm a photographer in the Jacksonville FL area with a studio in Kingsland GA specializing in newborns to first year.
One of the most common questions I hear from parents is: “When should I book my baby’s milestone sitter session?” It’s such an important milestone to document, and the answer isn’t as simple as a specific age in months.
The truth is, the best time to plan a sitter session is when your baby is able to sit confidently on their own with little to no support! For many little ones, this happens around 6–8 months, but every child develops at their own pace. Once your baby is sitting independently, it opens the door for so much variety in your photos. We can capture them playing with their toes, reaching for toys, laughing at silly faces, and showing off those sweet smiles all while keeping them comfortable and happy.
That doesn’t mean you can’t schedule milestone photos earlier! Every stage of your baby’s first year is worth celebrating, whether they’re just starting tummy time, learning to roll over, or crawling toward their first big adventures.
If you’re even considering a milestone session, now is the perfect time to start planning! I offer different milestone photography packages that are designed to fit your family’s needs and make the experience stress-free and fun. Whether you’re celebrating your baby sitting up, turning one, or any milestone in between, these photos become timeless memories you’ll cherish for years.
