Sitter & First Birthday Photography in Lancashire
Natural milestone portraits in my Clitheroe studio
Babies change so quickly — one minute they’re tiny, and suddenly they’re sitting, smiling, and showing their little personalities.
My sitter and first birthday photography sessions are designed to capture this beautiful stage in a calm, simple, and timeless way. No over-styled sets or forced poses — just your baby, gently guided, exactly as they are right now.
As a baby photographer based in Clitheroe, I specialise in calm, natural milestone sessions designed around your baby — not the clock. Families travel from across Lancashire for a relaxed experience and timeless images at a fair, honest price.
What These Sessions Are About
The sitter and first birthday stage is full of curiosity, expressions, and tiny moments that pass all too quickly.
These sessions focus on:
Natural smiles and real expressions
Simple setups that won’t date over time
A calm experience that allows your baby to lead
Whether your baby is sitting confidently, celebrating their first birthday, or marking another special milestone, this session is about preserving this season in a way you’ll always love looking back on.
Who Are These Sessions For?
These sessions are perfect for:
Babies at the sitter stage (around 6–10 months)
First birthday celebrations
Other milestone birthdays with a simple, timeless setup
Parents are welcome to add a few photos together at the end of the session if they wish.
''I recently went to Edyta's studio with my 7 month old daughter and I could not recommend her enough!
She was so professional yet welcoming. I felt at ease as soon as I stepped foot in the studio, she was so confident and lovely with my daughter and was always making sure she was safe and happy.
The studio is absolutely gorgeous and full of lovely props and outfits. She was so creative and got some incredible pictures! I will definitely be recommending her work to my friends and would love to join her for another shoot in the future. A really lovely, talented photographer!''

FAQ
What if my baby isn’t sitting confidently yet?
That’s absolutely fine. Sessions are baby-led and gently adapted to your little one’s stage — there’s no pressure at all.
What should my baby wear?
I have a small selection of simple, neutral outfits available that are chosen to suit the backdrops. You’re also welcome to bring your own, and I’m always happy to advise before your session.
Can parents be included in the session?
Yes, parents are welcome to join for a few images at the end if they wish, while keeping the focus on your baby.
What if my baby needs breaks?
Breaks for feeding, changing, cuddles, or play are always welcome. Sessions are calm, flexible, and unhurried.
Seasonal Mini Sessions
Alongside full sessions, I also offer seasonal mini sessions throughout the year.
If you’re looking for something short, sweet, and more affordable, mini sessions are a lovely way to capture a few meaningful moments without the commitment of a full shoot.
