It’s official—Christmas mini session season for this year has come and gone, and wow. What a whirlwind. Over six weeks, I had the absolute joy of seeing so many families, both in the studio and out in the fresh air.

Somewhere between sleepy newborn snuggles and the energy of a one-year-old, there’s a sweet spot—full of personality, big smiles, and squishy rolls. Welcome to the sitter stage! Around 6 months old, babies are hitting a huge developmental milestone: sitting up (mostly!) on their own. It’s the perfect time to document this beautiful phase of babyhood, and milestone photography is designed to do exactly that.
