Sitters and Beyond Mini Sessions

Available at my studio in Eastbourne

These milestone sessions are perfect for documenting your child’s progress as they grow, from their first year and beyond. Whether it’s tummy time, sitting, standing, or those playful smiles and giggles, these moments are fleeting and deserve to be captured so you can cherish them long after. While these sessions are ideal for babies between 3 and 6 months, they’re also wonderful for older children as they reach new milestones, such as walking, talking, or even celebrating special achievements. Every child is unique, and that’s what makes them so special.

What I love most about these sessions is their simplicity. I keep props minimal to ensure the focus is on your child—capturing their personality, expressions, and those precious details like tiny fingers and toes. Outfits are kept simple—think rompers, nappy covers, shorts, or even just bare feet—to highlight their natural beauty and the milestones they’re reaching.

Your Trusted Sitters and Beyond Photographer

Celebrate

These milestone sessions are perfect for documenting your child’s progress as they grow, from their first year and beyond. Whether it’s sitting, standing, or those playful smiles and giggles, these moments are fleeting and deserve to be captured so you can cherish them long after. While these sessions are ideal for babies from around 6 months, they’re also wonderful for older children as they reach new milestones, such as walking, talking, or even celebrating special achievements. Every child is unique, and that’s what makes them so special.

Timeless Memories

Every milestone your child reaches is a memory worth holding onto, and Sitters and Beyond sessions help you do just that. Whether it’s an early developmental stage or a more significant achievement, the portraits created will be cherished for years to come. As your child grows, these photographs will serve as timeless reminders of how they blossomed, and you’ll be able to look back on these moments with love and joy for years ahead.

Client Testimonials

Kind words from my lovely clients

Helene is absolutely amazing, so professional. I had a photoshoot when my son was only a few weeks old, I was so pleased with this I went back with the family and the photos in the box done for my mums birthday. I’ve recommended her to lots of friends and they have recommended her too. Thank you for being so great xx

Helene was the best photographer we have been to. My little boy loved her and she made us all feel so comfortable. She captured some beautiful photos x

Helene was fab to shoot with, calm, patient and fun, my daughter was rather ‘unreasonable’ but Helene somehow still managed to capture some stunning photos. Helene you’re a genius!

Thank you so so much Helene for the beautiful pictures of our family. They are so much better than we could ever have imagined. Can’t recommend Helene enough. A very lovely and friendly person and a truly brilliant photographer. Again a massive thank you from all of us especially Ava. We will definitely be back for more! x
