Is Your Baby Sitting Unaided? It’s Time to Schedule Babysitter Photos

Once your baby can sit unaided, it’s time to capture a collection of precious babysitter photos. Sitter sessions of photography usually take place after your baby is no longer a newborn, typically between six and ten months of age. During this time, your baby’s unique personality is emerging, and every session can capture a variety of expressions, from achingly adorable belly laughs to inquisitive frowns and everything in between. At Jennifer White Photography, you can have your own babysitter photo shoot, including a pre-session consultation, photoshoot of up to one hour in a studio setting, access to many props and accessories, your own online gallery where you can choose your favourite photos, and much more.

Benefits of professional sitter baby photography

Your baby’s first year is an exciting time full of new milestones. As they approach the one-year mark, babies begin to develop into the little humans they will be – with unique likes and dislikes, sense of style, and funny expressions. Capture it all with sitter sessions. This photography aims to create memorable photos to cherish that always remind you of your child’s babyhood, even after they are grown up. Here are some of the benefits of working with a professional babysitter photographer.

• More backgrounds and props ~ Professional photographers have lots of props and accessories you can use to create fun, unique settings for your baby’s photos. Instead of investing money in props you’ll never use again, use that money for professional-quality photos you’ll love.

• The most convenient option ~ Life with a baby is hectic. You can spend hours cleaning and preparing a spot for your photos at home – or you can use that time to do more important things and book your photo session instead in my studio setting.

• More control ~ A professional photographer in their studio has far more control over the many elements of your photos, such as lens options, lighting, and balance. Using these elements to their best advantage will result in the highest quality photographs possible.

Prepare for your sitter session photography

Photo sessions with babies can be stressful – but they don’t have to be. Here are a few things you can do to prepare your child for a happy session.

• Choose simple clothing ~ You don’t want to take attention away from your child or distract them during their photo session with overly complicated clothes. I have an extensive collection of custom made sitter outfits for you to choose from for your session.

• Manage your expectations ~ It can be challenging to convince newly mobile babies to sit still and smile for the camera. That’s okay – it’s your child’s unique and quirky personality that will make their photos so special.

• Make your child comfortable ~ Work with your photographer to help your child stay calm and happy. Bring your baby’s favourite toys or blankets, make sure they’ve had a snack, and help draw their attention where the photographer needs it.
