Rainbows and Hot Air Balloons: A Magical Cake Smash Session

What to Expect During Your Sitter Milestone Session

I love sitter milestone sessions! Capturing babies at this stage is so special. These sessions are best when your baby can sit soundly on their own. You should feel comfortable leaving your baby on a hard surface without fear of toppling over. This usually happens around 7 months old, but every baby is different. If your baby isn’t sitting solidly yet, we can reschedule.
