Creating a Fairytale Moment: When a Dress Transforms a Photoshoot
There’s something truly magical about watching a teen light up with joy during a photoshoot. My goal for this session was to capture the essence of a fairytale while making this young woman feel strong, confident, and absolutely stunning.
When I first showed her the dress—a long, flowy, pink masterpiece—I knew it would be something special. But I wasn’t prepared for the reaction it received. Both she and her mom were speechless, exclaiming "WOW" as they took in the beauty of the dress. Its vibrant pink hue, its incredible length, and the way it flowed in the breeze were all part of what made it so breathtaking.
The old strip mine provided the perfect backdrop for this session. The wide-open space allowed the dress to billow and dance in the wind, while the sky and sun added a natural glow that made every shot feel like a scene from a storybook. The mood was relaxed and fun, exactly what I wanted for this fairytale-inspired shoot. I wanted her to feel not only like a princess but also strong and confident in her own skin.
As a mom myself, there’s nothing quite like seeing a young girl run, dance, and completely immerse herself in the joy of the moment. Watching her twirl in that pink dress, seeing the fabric swirl around her as she laughed and smiled, truly warmed my heart. It was clear she was having the time of her life, and that’s what makes these sessions so special.
Her Instagram caption summed it up perfectly: "I feel like a princess." Seeing that melted my heart and reminded me why I love what I do. Making girls fall in love with themselves, helping them see their beauty and strength—that’s what it’s all about.
