Capturing your baby’s milestones is a beautiful way to document their growth and personality during their first year. To help ensure a smooth and enjoyable session, I’ve put together some tips to prepare your little one for their milestone photoshoot. These simple steps can help create a relaxed and fun environment for both you and your baby!
1. Schedule the Session After Baby's Nap Time
Babies are typically happiest when they’re well-rested, so it’s best to schedule the session for a time shortly after your baby’s usual nap. A well-rested baby is more likely to be alert, smiley, and comfortable during the session, which allows me to capture those sweet, natural expressions that show off your little one’s personality.
2. Avoid Scheduling Right After Baby’s Vaccination Appointments
To give your baby the best chance of being comfortable and happy during their session, try to avoid scheduling the photoshoot in the weeks following any vaccine appointments. Babies can sometimes be more cautious around new people or feel cranky after vaccinations, especially if the session is within days of their appointment. Giving them a little time ensures they’ll be in a happier mood for our time together.
3. No Need to Bring Outfits – I've Got You Covered!
One of the best parts about working with me is that you don’t have to stress about finding the perfect outfit for your baby. I offer a curated client closet filled with adorable, high-quality outfits designed specifically for milestone sessions. Whether you prefer soft neutrals, knit textures or bold colors, I have plenty of options to match your style. All you have to do is show up, and I’ll take care of the rest!
4. Fill Out the Questionnaire in Your Booking Form
To ensure your milestone session perfectly matches your vision, I ask that all clients fill out a short questionnaire when booking. This helps me understand your style and color preferences, as well as any specific requests you might have for the session. Whether you have a special prop in mind or a favorite color palette, I want to know so I can create a session that reflects your unique style and beautifully captures your baby’s personality.
I know how precious these moments are, and I want to make sure we capture them in the most authentic way possible. By following these tips, we’ll set the stage for a milestone session that’s relaxed, fun, and full of joyful moments. I can't wait to capture these special memories for your family! - Amy (your favorite Cedar Falls baby photographer)
