A FULL-SERVICE MILESTONE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
Your milestone session is thoughtfully planned from beginning to end. I’ll guide you through wardrobe, timing and styling so the experience feels easy and intentional. Whether we’re celebrating a sitting milestone, first birthday or another special stage, the session is designed to capture your child’s personality while creating a polished collection of photographs you’ll love. After your session, we’ll meet for a personal reveal and ordering appointment where I’ll help you select your favorite images and design custom artwork for your home.
OCEAN COUNTY PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO
The Imagery by Marianne studio is located in Ocean County, New Jersey and offers a comfortable, playful setting for milestone portraits. Sessions are available by appointment and are typically scheduled on weekday mornings. The studio includes multiple backdrop options, props and styling pieces designed to create a polished variety of images while keeping the experience easy for you and your child.
Milestone sessions are designed to keep your child comfortable, engaged and moving at their own pace. With years of experience photographing babies and young children, I’ll guide the session with plenty of flexibility for breaks, snacks, outfit changes and whatever your little one needs to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Welcome to my happy place!
CUSTOM ALBUMS, WALL ART & HEIRLOOM PRODUCTS
Your experience doesn’t end with a gallery of digital files. At your reveal and ordering appointment, I’ll help you choose the photographs you love and design custom albums, framed wall art and keepsakes that fit your home, style and family.
Digital images are included with qualifying heirloom products, so you receive both something tangible to preserve and files you can enjoy on screen.
Professional hair and makeup can be added to your portrait experience so you can arrive feeling polished, relaxed and camera-ready. Alyssa Nesse of The Traveling Feather offers in-studio hair and makeup before your session, making the experience easy from start to finish.
Hair and makeup is currently $250. If Alyssa is unavailable for your session date, I can help coordinate another trusted artist.
