Solution

With all momenta directed into each vertex, the momentum-space Feynman rules are:

scalar line of momentum $p$ : $i / (p^{2} - m^{2} + i ϵ)$ ;
photon line in Feynman gauge: $- i η_{μν} / (k^{2} + i ϵ)$ ;
one photon of index $μ$ , scalar momentum $p$ and conjugate-scalar momentum $p^{'}$ : $i e (p - p^{'})^{μ}$ ;
the seagull vertex with photon indices $μ, ν$ : $2 i e^{2} η^{μν}$ .

Each vertex also carries its momentum-conserving delta function; integrate every independent loop momentum and attach the appropriate external wavefunctions and photon polarization vectors.
