Preparing for Your Baby’s Milestone Sessions

Before the Session

Capturing Sweet Memories with One Good Shot Photography

Your little one’s first year is full of incredible milestones, and we’re here to help you celebrate them!

Whether you’re documenting your baby’s six-month sitter session or planning a fun-filled cake smash for their first birthday,

a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring we capture the most beautiful and joyful moments.

Scheduling for a Happy Baby

Babies are happiest when they’re well-rested, so we recommend scheduling your session around their natural nap times.

If your little one is usually in the best mood after their morning or afternoon nap, let’s aim for that window!

A well-rested baby means more smiles, giggles, and adorable expressions.

Arrive with a Healthy Baby and a Full Tummy

A hungry baby is often a fussy baby! Be sure to give your little one a good meal or snack before the session to keep them content.

If your baby is still nursing or bottle-fed, feel free to bring extra milk or formula just in case.

We also recommend avoiding any new foods right before the session to prevent any unexpected tummy troubles.

If baby is not feeling well, please reach out to reschedule your session.

During the Session

What to Wear – Our Curated Client Closet

Choosing the perfect outfit for your little one can be overwhelming, but don’t worry—we’ve got you covered!

Our Client Closet is stocked with specially curated outfits designed just for baby milestone sessions.

You’re welcome to browse our collection and choose an outfit that fits your style!

What to Bring

You are welcome to bring any outfits that you'd like to incorporate into the session.

As well as extra diapers for after the session.

I encourage you to bring baby's favorite lovey or toy and any snacks he/she may like

What to Expect

Upon your arrival I will greet baby with a warm welcome. During these initial few minutes, I'll determine if we can get started right away

or if baby needs a little extra time to get comfortable with me. There is no rush.

As a mama, I understand that you want the biggest best smiles. Keep in mind baby can easily become overwhelmed with the bright lights and loud noises

Cake Smash Fun – What to Expect

If you’re planning a cake smash session, here are a few things to keep in mind:

🎂 The Cake: PROVIDED BY THE STUDIO is lightly frosted so as not to overwhelm bay with sugar
🎂 Allergies: If your baby has any food sensitivities, Please let me know as soon as possible.
🎂 Messy Fun: Cake smashes often get messy. Expect to get frosting on you.

Parents: Dress comfortably, and bring a change of clothes if needed.

After the Session

Leave with confidence knowing you're preserving your baby's legacy.

The week following the session you'll return to the studio for your photo reveal and ordering appointment

We'll discuss areas in your home you'd like to display your portraits.

You'll have a lifetime to enjoy your memories!!
