Alexi-noelle
She was so warm and friendly and instantly made our whole family feel at ease. From the moment I reached out, she responded right away and made the entire process seamless to book and coordinate.
She really understood the look and feel we were going for—and absolutely nailed it. We had a lot of moving pieces (a newborn, a 6-year-old, and our crazy pup!), yet she somehow managed to capture beautiful photos of all of us. The final images turned out even better than I had imagined."
We had such a wonderful experience working with Allison!

The first year goes by so quickly, and it’s filled with so many changes for parents and babies alike — a growing bump, tiny newborn features, sleepy snuggles, first smiles, sitting, standing, and celebrating that very first birthday. The Milestone Collection helps you pause throughout the year so nothing slips by undocumented. Instead of scrambling to schedule sessions later, everything is planned, simple, consistent, and beautifully photographed from start to finish.
Milestone Collection FAQ
Do I have to pay for all the sessions upfront?
Nope! A $300 retainer is due when you join the Milestone Collection. That covers your spot in the collection and is applied evenly across your first three sessions — no need to pay for everything at once.
How does the discount work?
Each session within the Milestone Collection is $100 off my standard rates. That brings the Signature Session rate down to $395 and the Full Session rate to $595.
Do I have to pick all my sessions in advance?
Not at all. Most families book one session to start and plan the rest as they go. You can space them however you'd like across your baby’s first year.
Can I mix and match session types and lengths?
Absolutely. You can choose whichever combination works best for your family — from maternity, newborn, 3-month, 6-month, and first birthday sessions, to family updates along the way. Signature and Full sessions both qualify.

What I Believe in
My love for photography began as a small child watching my grandmother—an amateur photographer herself—follow me around with a camera. I picked up a DSLR for the first time at 16 years old, and the rest was history. Based in Old Town Alexandria, I specialize in family, wedding & portrait photography in the DMV area.
I believe the best photos come from real moments — authentic, effortless, and true to you. My approach is a balance of guidance and observation, creating a comfortable space where you can feel at ease while I capture the in-between moments that matter most. Whether it’s a wedding, family session, or baby's milestone, my goal is to document your story with a timeless, natural style that reflects who you are.

We recently had the most wonderful experience with Allison Heise for our newborn family portrait session. Just one week after our baby's birth, she came to our home something we deeply appreciated, especially during such a delicate and busy time. We’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly.
Beautifully captured such a special, fleeting moment in our lives.
