Milestone Planning and Prep Information
In order to get the most our of our session, please read this information over carefully.
Bring clean kiddos! Trim and clean finger nails. Make sure there are no remains of last meals on faces. And check for sleep in eyes. Feel free to bring your child's outfit and change at our location to keep it clean and unwrinkled. And double check faces before we start. I have wipes on hand if you need them.
​
EDITING POLICY! As per our contract, there will be additional editing fees for wrinkles, stains, or anything that is easily preventable with some thoughtful preparation. IE chipped finger nail polish, stamps/marker on body, blue sucker stained teeth and lips, and crusty noses, food on face. **Please note, editing blemishes, bobos, bruises and things out of our control are always included in the session fee. Please let me know if your child has an injury that may require extensive editing.
​
If you have a family member who wants to attend to help get kiddo's attention and smiles, you're more than welcome to bring them along!
​
What to bring:
-BLOOMERS. Something to cover diapers under dresses or outfits that are see through.
-Bring clean socks for all adults helping. No shoes, and no bare feet are allowed on the backdrop floor.
​-Bringing a favorite snack as incentive for little ones is fine, however, do not bring chocolate or anything colored that will stain their mouths, or drool.
-A toy that makes them laugh.
​
If you've added on a milk bath:
-Bring a towel. Please note: there is no place to bathe baby after the session.
-favorite small bath toy
-milk alternative if baby is allergic to dairy. I use dry milk for my milk baths.
​
Please respect my space by keeping little ones from exploring with their hands in the studio. Children who are not being photographed are not permitted on or near the set. Please don't allow little ones to eat and walk around the studio.
***If your child wakes up sick with a snotty/runny nose, coughing, fever, or vomiting, (or fever or vomiting w/in 24 hours) please call me ASAP to discuss rescheduling options. Not only will your little one be cranky when away from home while sick, but also, I work with newborns and try to keep illness out of the studio for the safety of my littlest clients.
***PLEASE DO NOT BOOK A SESSION THE DAY OF/AFTER SHOTS! Babies need a time to recover from shots and can be cranky, feverish and even in pain after. We want your little one to be in the best mood possible for their session, so consider all these things to ensure all the elements are working for us! I absolutely do not mind rescheduling, at no additional cost, to make sure we have the best possible outcome if you contact me in advance. But I will not reschedule for an unhappy sick little one if you chose to bring them anyway.
