Whether its 4, 6, 9 or 12 months (or anything in between and beyond), let's capture these moments. As mothers, we know all too well that in the blink of an eye our littles one's change. They get a little taller, speak a little more or maybe get a haircut and look totally different. Either way, these moments are fleeting, and you know you want to remember the little things about them forever. That's why this session is important. It captures how your little one is in-the-now.

The minimalist style is meant to focus on them details and personality. Milestones aren't about extravagant set ups, fancy cakes and balloon arches... it's about them and focusing on how they are right now. It's to provide you with timeless images that you want on your walls. It's about crossed feet, chubby skin rolls and those little teeth that aren't all in yet. Let's make sure you have gorgeous portraits of your little one for you to share with them as they grow! Whether this is your first or last baby, these memories are unique and irreplaceable.

As a Cleveland Baby and Milestone Photographer, my main goal is always to make the experience as stress-free as possible. I work with your kids, not against them. We will pick a colored backdrop then choose the best colors for outfits plus simple textures to add in like blankets, all which I provide. If you would like a cake smash, you can bring a minimalist cake! I provide a cake stand but cannot provide a cake due to possible allergies.

A                                  Milestone Photography Experience

a milestone is coming!

Congratulations,

minimalist-style

Every session comes with access to my hand-picked collection of items. We choose a color palette together and talk about your style, then I send you which outfits and simple props (blankets, sparkles, backpacks, etc.) I have available for you to choose from. Once your color theme and outfit is chosen, I'm off to work! I will send you what I've put together for your review. After that, we have one try on meeting to ensure everything fits. Of course, you are welcome to wear something of your own if you prefer but I will be here every step of the way to assist you in preparing your perfect session outfits.

"Alison was so easy to work with. She was so positive and patient with our rambunctious three-year-old. She encouraged his silliness and it made for some adorable photos of my favorite smile in the whole world. For us not so photo savvy adults, she gave great direction and helped us feel at ease. We'll definitely cherish these photos."
