Ashlei contacted me to schedule a studio maternity session. She didn't have time to come to the studio beforehand for a fitting since it was so last minute, so we decided we would just wing it as I knew I'd have plenty of options for her. I convinced her to model one of our new additions to the wardrobe (the long fitted gown with the tulle bottom) and she ended up loving it even though it wasn't one of her choices. Sometimes I know a client will look amazing in a specific dress that hasn't been worn yet and convince them to wear it for a couple extra images in their gallery. We are always getting new pieces in and sometimes retire older pieces if they're showing wear and tear. Dresses are always cleaned in between sessions - my dry cleaner and I are on a first name basis! I love being able to show clients during maternity fittings what a dress looks like on an actual person since that can help them decide.
Ashlei and Brett were so sweet and loving, and I loved working with them! Isn't she stunning?
