Baby and sitter milestone sessions

That sweet, soulful time when your baby is no longer a newborn, but not yet a toddler—it's fleeting, tender, and filled with wonder.

These sitter and milestone sessions are designed to pause time right there. When your little one is discovering their toes, proudly sitting up on their own, full of giggles, rolls, and cheeky expressions that make your heart skip a beat.

I know how easy it is to get caught between the big milestones - newborn and first birthday - but this stage deserves to be celebrated too. Between 6 and 10 months is when their personalities truly begin to bloom. The eye contact, the gummy grins, the way they light up when you speak - it’s pure magic.

I’m here to capture those soft curls, dimpled hands, the way they play with their feet, and all the delight of their little world. The gentle strength in their gaze, the curiosity, the cuddles - they change so quickly, and these details are too precious to miss.

My studio is a warm, welcoming space filled with beautiful, curated pieces - natural wood toys, and organic textures to keep little ones engaged.

These sessions are playful, calm, and guided gently at your baby's pace. They’re about connection, personality, and preserving this chapter before it fades into memory.

Let’s bottle up this season of squish, sparkle, and soul—so you’ll always remember the way they were before they took their first step.

How does the session work?

I like to keep things super relaxed, pretty much like a very fun play date. 

So with small babies we singing, we clap, maybe even bubbles and your baby can take their pick from the toys that I have in the studio. Babies always love this bit and we get some fantastic photos while they play and have a  whale of a time. All the while I snap away, capturing every giggle and smile and their sweet little personality.

Go with the flow.

Every baby is beautifully unique.

Some need a moment to snuggle into your arms before they’re ready to explore

Some dive straight into play, full of joy and curiosity.
Some are happiest with nothing but a nappy and freedom to wiggle.
Some are speedy crawlers on a mission, while others are content to sit and quietly explore the world around them.

Whatever your little one feels like doing on the day - we follow their lead.

child photography

These portrait sessions are perfect for capturing your child at any stage of their journey.

Whether it’s a birthday milestone (from age two and up), a sports or dance portrait, siblings and cousins together, best friends, a first day of school, or even a half-birthday celebration - these sessions are a beautiful way to freeze time and celebrate who they are right now.

They’re natural, fun, and completely relaxed. Just real moments, honest smiles, and all the magic of childhood, exactly as it is.

Q&A

session time & duration

These sessions take up to 60 mins and are shot in the mornings in studio

can i book for the session at the weekend?

Weekend sessions can be arranged on request. Normally this is the time I spent with my own little family, however I understand that taking a day off during the week for your session is not always possible. Saturday sessions are subject to an additional fee of $100 and availability

Safe session

I hope this puts your mind at ease knowing that to update my training regularly:

I can say:

- I have a working with children check

- I am whooping cough vaccinated

- I am up to date with flu boosters

- I am insured

- I am trained in CPR & First Aid (baby, children & and adults)

Your baby and your family are my number one priority

What do we do if my baby is unwell?

I take all the precautions to limit any risk of spreading infections, especially that many of my clients are newborn babies arriving to studio at just few days old. Please notify me as soon as there is a suspicion that your baby might feel unwell. If your baby presents as unwell on the day of the shoot, we will also need to reschedule. We will reschedule your session for a new session spot at a later stage or as close to the original date as possible!

TURN-A-ROUND TIME

I always edit in the order that I shoot, so that its fair and reasonable for everybody that books me. You can expect your gallery within two - four weeks.

what do i bring and what do i wear?

The ‘what to wear’ inspiration and all other session information will be sent to those who book!

booking and payments

$100 fee payment secures your session with THE FITZROYS PHOTOGRAPHY. Fee payment is non-refundable. Balance balance is due on the day of your shoot

can i bring more children to be in the images?

Of course, for additional siblings the same age (twins, triplets) please add $50/child
