Splash, Giggle, Repeat: Tub Sessions Make Baby Milestones Unforgettable | Ann Lyle Photography – Boston, MA
Tub Session
Tiny toes kicking up bubbles. Rosy cheeks shining under studio light. A belly laugh that echoes down the hall. If you’re looking for a fresh way to celebrate your baby’s next milestone, a tub session is the perfect mix of playdate and portrait.
What Exactly Is a Tub Session?
It’s just what it sounds like: a clean, simple, adorable photo shoot where your baby gets to splash and play in a perfectly-sized tub of warm water. No props, no petals—just the kind of pure joy that only water and a baby’s curiosity can create.
The Sweet Spot: Why 6–10 Months Is Pure Gold
This is the golden age of babyhood:
They can sit! Which means splashing safely and smiling big.
Their personality shines. Expect giggles, splashes, and curious expressions.
Nothing staged. Just your baby discovering water, reacting with real giggles, wonder, and joy.
If your baby is sitting steadily and is splashing at bath time, it’s time!

Add‑On or Stand‑Alone—What Works Best for You?
Add‑On Tub (20 min)
Perfect if…You’re already booking milestone portraits.
Stand‑Alone Splash (30 min)
You want a full mini session focused only on tub time.
Clean, Cozy & Safe Every Time
You can relax—we’ve thought of everything:
Warm water checked to the perfect temp.
Non-slip tub and sanitized setup for every baby.
Clean, fluffy towels and a warm space to dry off.
A spotter is always within arm’s reach—your baby’s safety comes first.
What to Wear (and What Not To)
Simple is best. Most babies go in the tub naked, or in a classic white diaper cover (I have sizes ready at the studio). That’s it! No outfits, no accessories—just those perfect baby rolls and big smiles.
What a happy baby!
