Hellloooo beauties! I am soooo excited this sweet spring day to highlight this amazing Motherhood Session that I had the privilege of capturing for a couple of girls that are near & dear to me! My bestie and her daughter, the super-human Gianna came in for the sweetest Motherhood Session, and gasp! My bestie wore (drum roll please)…PINK! Yes that’s correct…My “what do you mean, black isn’t a spring color?” friend picked a pink dress from my client closet!!! She walked out in that dress at her styling appointment, and it honestly took my breath away! I love that I can offer dress and gown options… Ladies, you never know what you may LOVE on & this was the perfect example! Let’s take a little looksie…

The Inspiration:

Honestly the inspiration for this was linked to the gown for me! I knew it would keep things SUPER feminine & soft and that was the goal for me throughout the session. I just wanted everything to reflect love and a subtle playfulness between mother & daughter. We knew we wanted to utilize my studio located in charming Chesterton, Indiana, just outside of Chicago. And I’m so happy we did! The pinks against the whites mixed with the spectacular natural light created an amazing simplicity that allowed these little ladies to shine like the stars they freaking are! And speaking of shining stars… Gianna took over for a few with cuteness overload!!!

Studio Design:

I had 2 motherhood sessions this same week and decided to attack them with something that would fit both in unique ways to their session. So what better floral to choose than baby’s breath? I just loved the villow-y softness it added to the background. Just enough to be decor, but not AT ALL to take away from the main characters in our story! I also added an amazing antique dusty rose lace throw picked up on one of my Michigan travels at a beautiful antique market, and a simple book on a mod ottoman completed the look.

Wardrobe:

As I mentioned… It’s amazing what you might find that looks stunning on you…even when you never would have guessed it! Michelle’s gown is by Baltic Born and we dressed Gianna based on what she had chosen, which I assure you was A-Ok with our little doll baby! She put her beautiful lace & tulle gown on and spun around in the mirror multiple times admiring herself. Oh my goodness, if you could’ve been a fly on the wall…it was a sight to see!!! Michelle’s pink stunner and Giannas lovely magical lace number are both from my client closet. 🙂

To Achieve this look:

~Monochromatic color choices with different textures to create depth
