Mom’s Wedding Dress Ups

playing dress ups with mothers wedding dress

Every winter I choose a series of portraits to work on with an underlying theme. This gives me the chance to work on my lighting and posing skills without taking chances on paid sessions. This year, having my own little girl, I wanted to tie in three things, weddings, little girls, and moms. At first I had no idea how I was going to do this, then the idea just hit. Little girls dressed up in their mother’s wedding dresses. I chose a simple gray background because I wanted it to have the feeling of the classic bridal portraits most of us remember see of our own moms. The girls had a lot of fun playing dress ups in mom’s wedding gown.
