Thank you so much for booking your milestone session with Megan Shaw Photography!
How To Prepare:
For your milestone session, please see some tips below on how to prepare and what to bring.
If you have any questions at all, please let me know and I’ll be more than happy to help.
I. WHAT TO WEAR:
For the one month milestone session, majority of the photos will be over your baby lying down on a soft beanbag and/or my bed setup to ensure your baby’s safety.
I also keep lots of outfits in my studio and I’m constantly adding to collection. I will most likely pull a few for your session, so please feel free to use those if you’d like and not worry about bringing outfits (see a few examples below of my studio collection). I even have plenty of headbands and bonnets if you wish to use those as well. We will also do a few “naked” shots with just their diaper on (diaper will be covered).

**Please note that one months olds are too old for the classic newborn photos. So with that, most photos will be taken however your baby is comfortable. Whether that is wrapped up, or naked with just a wrap around the diaper. Your baby can also either be awake or asleep for this one month milestone session. We just want to make sure your baby is as relaxed and comfortable for the session as much as they can be so we can get some sweet photos!**
II. WHAT TO DO TO PREPARE:
Tip #1… Please make sure your baby has a nap before his/her session! I know this may get them off their normal nap schedule, but if at all possible please let them take a quick nap and wake them up so they are refreshed and ready to go for their session.
Tip #2…. Bring extra milk or formula. Most milestone sessions last between only 30-45 minutes, depending on how long the baby is happy. If we need to take a feeding break to ensure happy photos, I am more than happy to let you stop and feed him/her. So please make sure to bring any extra milk and/or formula along with you.
Tip #3… Bring a pacifier if your baby loves it. We can always pull it out in between shots if we need to.
III. Family Photos for One Month Milestone
Family photos during the one month milestone are always welcome! For the family photos in a one month milestone photo, they will take place on MSP’s bed setup in our studio. Please feel free to see examples of outfit colors below.


IV. Payment & Session Photos:
If you booked a milestone package, your session fee will be due at the time of your session. You can pay cash or card (please note there will be an extra fee added for all credit/debit card transactions or you can pay via the Venmo app with no extra fee). The session photos will be delivered to you around 3-4 weeks after your session, unless noted otherwise by myself.
Again, if you have any questions regarding your session please let me know via email at megshawphoto@gmail.com
I’m so excited you booked a milestone session and look forward to working with your family!
