I have always loved big flowy gowns. Something about dressing up and getting your picture taken is so fun to me. And I love being the one behind the camera to capture all your good sides. When I first started my business, I saw a picture from another photographer that had what I would call an amazing luxury photograph, and I was hooked. This is something I want to do!
I gathered any gown I saw that would fit in the category for a luxury photographer. I want my clients to have lots of options when they book me. Since this wasn’t something that was popular, I have funded most of the gowns on my own. Saving up along the way for each new piece. The more I got, the more obsessed I became.
The Beginning
One day, I was doing a shoot with another photographer and we needed an extra gown for our shoots! We looked and looked but just weren’t finding one with the style we wanted. Then I had the crazy idea to make my own gown for this luxury photoshoot. The other photographer found this amazing fabric and I started working on it.
It was a few days full of sewing as my sewing machine broke several times on me, so I ended up hand sewing the entire dress. I finished this amazing gown literally just a couple days before our big shoot! It was amazing to get to make my own dress as a luxury photographer.
The dress is this amazing gold shimmer with a hint of pink hue on it. The sleeves are open along the top, giving a slight peek a boo cold shoulder. Then the skirt has the perfect twirling skirt and a glorious empire waist that is cinched off with a golden ribbon. The other photographer made this gorgeous headband that we added to the look. It was my first time making a dress and I couldn’t believe how well it turned out.
As a luxury photographer, I want all my clothes to be eye catching and glorious! Making this dress opened up the door and made me see how easy it was once I set my mind to it, to make more dresses that would then be up to my standards for my shoots!
