Milestone Session FAQs

It is best to try and schedule your session 2-3 months before you would like to come in if possible. Aleksandra’s calendar can fill up quickly so it’s advised to book in advance.

If you’ve chosen an in-studio session, you will be welcomed in Aleksandra’s private studio located at 4214 E Indian School Rd #210, Phoenix, AZ 85018. The location is centrally located and next to a freeway for easy access. Upon arrival please enter through the front glass door marked with our logo. Aleksandra’s studio is at the second floor above Camelback Flower Shop. As of the moment, Aleksandra does not accept outdoor sessions. If you want to discuss about this further, you can contact us here.

The studio is filled with many stock of backdrops, props, and outfits to be used during your session, please let us know the type of outfit and size you will be needing just to make sure we have it available. Alternately, Aleksandra can also supply you with a list of vendors that create beautiful outfits for children.  

Occasionally, clients ask to have sentimental items incorporated in their session. This is always welcome!  We will work together to achieve the best results possible. Please note, not all items will be allowed in the studio. Potentially dangerous or large items will not be permitted.

Milestone sessions are designed for children only, but if you are wanting to be added to a single photo please know outfits without busy patterns are suggested for the photo. To make this easier for you, we’ve created the Ultimate Styling Guide for Timeless Family Photos, a free guide that includes tips and inspirations on outfit coordination, color palettes, and accessories to create cohesive looks for your photo sessions. You will receive it after you have officially booked a session with us!

It is Aleksandra’s hope that before the session you can visit the studio to preview outfits. If you feel that you’d like to bring your own outfit, please do so! Milk, pacifier, diapers, wipes are also suggested for younger babies.

All blemishes, and skin discolorations can be edited out. Skin tones are corrected, wrinkles in fabrics are taken out etc. If a mother asks for some slimming that can also be achieved in post-processing. Each booking will receive an on-line questionnaire to outline their desires and wants before the shoot.

Please note that if you do NOT want specific things edited out, be sure to inform Aleksandra of your decision before the end of the session.

Because Aleksandra has an artistic approach to editing which requires time and inspiration, your images will be completed within 3 weeks from the date of your session if your selections are made within the recommended time period which is 3 days.
