βWhen we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.β -Patrick Rothfuss
One of my favorite things about a couture dress session is the way each girls face lights up when she sees the dress for the first time. Once they are in the gown the sudden urge to spin around and flow the skirt out takes over and they love it! Seeing these little girls so happy and truly feeling beautiful is priceless and something that I look forward to at every session.
Loralei was one of the little girls I had the privilege to photograph in this beautiful dress from Bentley and Lace. I have known Loralei since she was born and it was so much fun to photograph this sweet little girl! She loved the dress and even wanted to take it home; that’s when I had to explain that sadly I couldn’t keep it either.. π
Loralei is only three years old, but she rocked this session! Her mom and my sister were at the session to help and the only way we could get a real smile out of Loralei was if my sister Stacy was interacting with her. Sometimes I had to be pretty creative to crop Stacy out but we made it work!
Here are a few of my favorites from Loralei’s session!
