The Petite 6-Month Sitter Experience with Leah Islinger Photography is a shorter, simplified option for families who want to capture this sweet milestone without a full-length session. Available in Appleton & throughout the Fox Valley, WI, this session focuses on timeless images of your baby during the sitter stage in a calm studio environment.
This page shares details & pricing, so you know exactly what to expect. A petite 6-month sitter session takes place in the studio and is designed with a shorter session time, making it ideal for babies & families looking for a simpler photo opportunity. The session is baby-led and relaxed, allowing time for smiles, movement, and quick breaks as needed.
You’ll find helpful information on what’s included, along with guidance on when to schedule, which is typically when your baby can sit unassisted or with support. I also provide tips on what to wear, focusing on simple, neutral outfits that photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your baby. Each selected image is professionally edited with soft, true-to-life tones.
These sessions are designed to include baby only, making them perfect for families who want a small collection of sitter images in a clean, timeless style. The Petite 6-Month Sitter Experience is a wonderful way to preserve this fleeting stage in a quick, stress-free session.
6-month sessions are so much fun! Your baby is typically sitting up by now, sometimes by themselves and sometimes with a little help. This is a great time for tummy poses, sitting (with assistance or alone), and lying on their backs - just general things to show off their 6-month milestones! Images will include close-ups of their sweet faces - usually showing off a few new teeth, and you can also bring along a favorite toy or blankie, or lovie to capture those memories forever!
The Petite 6-Month Sitter Experience is one upfront cost and includes 5 digital images from your session. This session includes up to 45 minutes in the studio and includes baby only, no family or sibling poses. Includes 1 outfit and 2 backdrops (up to 3 poses per backdrop).
After your session takes place, you will receive your preview images in a private online gallery to choose your included 5 digital images. You will also have the option to purchase additional digital images, prints, or products 'a la carte'.
