Session Guide
Your Studio Sitter Session
Sitter sessions are a beautiful way to capture that magical window between 6 to 9 months—when your little one might be sitting up on their own, sharing the sweetest smiles, and letting their blossoming personality shine through.
I cannot wait to create magic with you...
Thank you for choosing me to capture your story, I hope you know how much your trust means to me. My clients always end up feeling more like friends by the end of our journey together, it’s such a special privilege to be allowed this snapshot into your lives and it's something that’s never lost on me.
I’ve packed this guide full of my most helpful tips and tricks to make your session run as smooth as butter, so sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy the ride. Always remember, you can reach out to me with any questions you want. I’m here for you, whatever you need.
What to expect
I’ll be in touch in the days leading up to your session to answer any questions you might have. You’ll also receive a short questionnaire before your shoot — please take a few minutes to complete it, as this helps me plan your session.
Once you arrive at the studio, we’ll take a little time to look through the client wardrobe and choose an outfit for your baby.
As your session lasts around 45 minutes, it’s best if your little one arrives fed, changed and well rested so we can make the most of our time together.
The Photography by Jemma Studio
I can’t wait to welcome you to my studio – your new home away from home. I’ve tried to think of everything you might need for a comfortable, stress-free experience, including a steamer, a fully stocked baby changing unit, hot water, Wi-Fi, and a cosy area for you to sit back and relax.
There’s parking available directly outside, and a lift takes you straight up to the studio for easy access. If you're driving, I kindly ask that you leave any prams in the car – there’s plenty of space for your car seat inside. And lastly, to keep the studio clean and safe for little hands and feet, please remove your shoes when you arrive.

After your session
After the session your photographs will be carefully curated and processed to the highest standard. Within 21 days you'll receive an email with a link to access your viewing slideshow and your online gallery containing 40+ images to choose from.
Your online gallery is where you'll choose the 5 images included in your session. Optional extras are available to order from within your gallery, including a full gallery upgrade and additional prints.
What to Wear
You don’t need to bring anything for your baby — the studio wardrobe is full of beautiful, carefully selected pieces for them to wear.
If you’d like to bring something of your own, you’re very welcome to. It’s best to keep to warm, earthy tones and neutrals, similar to the pieces you’ll see in my client wardrobe. These colours complement the studio beautifully and work perfectly with my editing style.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this guide. I'm really looking forward to our photography session. I will be in touch leading up to the date to answer any questions you might have but please feel free to get in touch before then.
