Still going through memory lane for a project and I bumped into Melissa’s bridal session. I thought for sure that I had posted more than I did, but I guess that it just slipped through the cracks! I’m shocked because this was one of the most touching portrait sessions I’ve ever had.
Kent was only a few months old and I had taken a break to focus on being a new mom. I was getting a little cabin feverish, so one day I put out an all call for anyone that would like to don their gown for a session. I was in such luck! Melissa had just gotten married, but she didn’t get as many bridal photos as she would have wanted. I was really happy that we were able to connect and that I could do something great for her.
She was nervous, so I asked her to do what every girl wants to do when they put on a gown. Twirl!! Spin! Let the inner princess out for a bit. She did and she was just radiant.
I was so excited for this session that I spent hours scouting for the right location. I can’t wait to use this spot again!!
On the left: I love the flow of her gown as she is spinning. I would truly love to get into my wedding gown again and try something like this. On the right: Melissa says “Am I doing ok?” Me: “YES!!”
I hope you are enjoying this trip down memory lane with me. I’m thinking of doing more, and letting you know the thoughts and feelings behind some of my favorite photographs. If you’d like to see more, please let me know
