Curious about our "Featured Dress" option? Here’s how it works:

When I post available dresses for our clients, some are part of the client wardrobe, available most of the year. Occasionally, we have special "traveling loan dresses" that are only available for a specific period. These are high-end, couture dresses—often one-of-a-kind.

Client Wardrobe:

• Included in the session fee
• Cleaned after each use

Traveling Loan Dresses:

• Unique and beautiful dresses available for a fee ranging from $99 to $250, depending on the designer and the dress
• The session fee is applied to the rental fee for those choosing a traveling loan dress
• Cleaned by the designer

For larger dresses (teens and adults), I can obtain measurements, while child dresses are sized by age. I always request a recent candid full-length photo to help find the perfect dress for each person.

Why Do I Have a Hair and Makeup Artist? The portraits I create have a specific look, starting with hair and makeup to set the mood. I work closely with my professionally licensed HMUA to ensure your look is unique to your session and my vision for you. The HMUA fee varies and is paid directly to her. She comes to the studio for your session, so you don’t need to drive to multiple locations. We take care of everything.

What to Expect:

1. In-Person Consultation: We go over all the details to put you and/or your child at ease. If we use a client wardrobe dress, we’ll try it on during the consultation.
2. Session Scheduling: Once the details are set, we schedule the session, and the excitement begins!

Recently, someone asked if I had any dresses for teens about age 16. Yes, I do! I’ve included them in this post. These are traveling loan dresses, so their availability is critical. If you see something you like, act fast to secure the dress and set your appointments.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a memory not soon forgotten. It can take a couple of months to pull it all together, so what are you waiting for? Message me now, and let’s start your journey to a magical experience.
