Bella Daly Milestone Session Questionnaire

This questionnaire helps me prepare your session so it feels calm, personal, and easy when you arrive.
There are no right or wrong answers — and you can skip anything you’re unsure about.

ABOUT YOU & YOUR BABY
Parent/Guardian Name
Music can be a great way to help babies settle and bring out natural smiles.
Please select an option that best describes your little one when she / he is taken somewhere new and meeting strangers
Milestone sessions are playful and baby-led. Babies explore, crawl, wobble, smile, and sometimes need breaks — that’s all part of the story, and I’ll follow your baby’s pace on the day.
I schedule sessions around nap times so your baby is rested and happy.
i.e. favourite teddy, family keepsake, dad's fireman hat, musical instrument, regional outfit, meaningful items, etc.
YOUR HOME & COLOUR PREFERENCES
When it comes to the overall feel of your baby’s milestone photos, which do you naturally prefer? *
This helps me prep colours, outfits, and backgrounds for your session.
WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU
images to treasure forever, images to display on my social media, to hang on the home walls, something else...
CLOTHING & STYLING FOR PARENTS
For your baby photoshoot, I have some adorable outfits available for your little one, but I also encourage you to coordinate your family's attire for a beautiful family portrait. I love capturing natural moments, so I'd love to know what you plan to wear. Will you be going for a casual look with jeans and a tee, a denim jacket, a fancy blazer, a boho outfit, or perhaps a timeless maxi dress? Please remember to choose outfits without logos or patterns for that classic, timeless feel.
COMFORT, WORRIES & EDITING PREFERENCES
This might include things like: skin or nail concerns, scars or marks, arms, tummy, or neck areas, hairline or thinning hair, or anything else you’d prefer softened or adjusted

FINAL QUESTIONS
How did you hear about me?
From time to time, I share a small selection of images from sessions across my platforms. This simply helps other parents get a feel for my work. I never share names or personal details. No pressure either way — please let me know what feels right for you:
Thank you for supporting my small business — it truly means so much to me.
HEALTH & SAFETY (IMPORTANT)
Because I work closely with newborns, I ask that sessions are rescheduled if anyone in your household is unwell (coughs, colds, fever, tummy bugs, etc.). This is completely normal and always the right thing to do — there’s no problem or penalty in rescheduling. Keeping the studio a healthy space protects your baby, other families, and mine too. Please just let me know if anything comes up. *
