Sitter Session at Kidi Photography by Ella - Capturing milestones
As you probably know by now my business revolves around preserving special moments
in life and to be more specific, I specialise in photographing families from the very
moment they become one! I’ve been working as a professional photographer in the
Willenhall area including Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Worcester and Bikstion, for
more than 6 years now, and from my experience, the photographs that capture those most
important milestones in babies’ life are the ones melting parents’ hearts the most! Nature
designed us in this peculiar way, practically erasing our memory of so many tiny details
from our little one’s early life it makes those snapshots of time frozen in photographs
nearly as precious as gold! There will be so much that will fade away with time it’s almost
heartbreaking to realise it will only be recalled in your family photos. But it’s also
comforting to know these moments CAN be preserved and revisited. This is why it’s so
important to capture them in top quality photos retaining all those precious details!
When I talk with my clients about planning milestone photo sessions quite a few of
them seem surprised at the mention of a Sitter session. They are perfectly familiar with
maternity, newborn and family sessions, but a sitter session often times sounds totally
new to them. Which is saddening, because this basically means there are a number of
babies who will miss out on an opportunity to preserve their milestones in
beautiful professional photos on the verge of toddlerhood. So if you’re not sure what
a sitter session is, read on and I will do my best to explain it all in detail for you!
A sitter session is a photo session aimed at photographing babies at their sitting up
milestone, which usually falls between their 6th and 9th month of life. Here at Kidi
Photography by Ella, clients are more than welcome to pre-book their sitter session well
in advance and secure a session slot for their baby’s photoshoot in time before their
little one starts crawling or walking. Why is this so important? Well, this stage is especially
adorable to preserve! All of a sudden they become much more aware of their presence in
the environment, and although they can hardly impact their surroundings being still
immobile, they realise there is so much more to the world than the very little of the visible
spectrum they had at hand up until now.
Now they can grasp various items (which are always full of surprises being either fluffy,
rough, cold, wet or sticky!) and realise that everything in their eyesight is likely tangible and
just waiting to be discovered! And all this is literally painted on their sweet faces. Those
curious looks, shy smiles and uncontainable excitement create the most memorable
photographs to keep for years to come! And even more so, being a parent and knowing
how much there really is for your little one to discover in life, makes these sweet innocent
moments even more precious to revisit in a few years time.
These moments are so fragile and the memory of this special time deserves a truly
exceptional form of preserving. For this reason, I carefully selected a range of exquisite
products to properly showcase your beautiful photographs. From luxury Wall Art to eye-
catching Photo Albums, all are top quality and guaranteed to last for years. For more
details on the whole range of the products offered, please check the link below:
Depending on the style of your interiors your choice of Wall Art will vary greatly, but it will
also impact the course of your photo session. This is why I always ask my clients to think
ahead and plan where they wish to display their photographs and what are the colours
and styles that dominate in that particular room. It will all affect the choice of the colour
palette, posing and general style of the background in your photos. The whole set-up will
be prepared to create a perfect composition to match the style and colour palette of our
interiors giving you plenty of flexibility in terms of choosing those perfect portraits to hang
on your walls!
I don’t wish to brag but I can easily call myself a prop addict, which means my bank
account is almost always empty, but my clients can choose from an impressive selection of
props, outfits and backdrops for their photo sessions. And this is something to consider
ahead of the photo session as well because it will give us a chance to prepare setups to
create the most mesmerising photographs for you! Whether you will use them to create
a beautiful Photo Book or print gorgeous portraits for your husband’s work desk it all
matters, it all matters! Think about the colour palette, is there a theme in your baby’s
nursery room you’d like to match the photos to? What props do you love the most and how
many close-ups would you like to include in your final gallery? These are valid questions to
consider ahead of your photoshoot. For more inspiration on Sitting Up photo

I hope this short overview of a Sitting Up session will offer a good insight into the
experience I offer here at Kidi Photography by Ella! As I said I’ve been working as
a professional photographer in Willenhall for several years now, and capturing these
important moments for my clients is my absolute joy! My top priority is to offer an
exceptional experience to my clients (both parents and tiny models!), and create some
truly special photographs for them, to treasure for years to come!
If you still have some questions or would like to enquire about availability for your baby’s
photo session, please get in touch at https://www.kidiphotography.co.uk/contact and I’ll be
delighted to chat with you about all the details!
Looking forward to speaking to you soon!
