Photographing this session was special to me for two reasons.
1. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Virginia, who is such a sweet little five year old. She had the most beautiful smile and is a genuinely lovely little person. She knew a little bit from her dance classes and happily showed me how well she could twirl and leap. We held her session in downtown McKinney, TX. I loved how the simple backgrounds there placed all the focus on her in these portraits.
2. This session gave me the opportunity to start putting together an idea I’ve been toying with for some time. If you have followed my work in the past, you know that I love to sew clothing for children on the side. I have had an Etsy shop, but honestly, running two businesses simultaneously can sometimes be a bit overwhelming.
Recently, I have toyed around with the idea of incorporating my sewing somehow into my photography business. I am still hashing out the details and will be releasing those in the weeks ahead. Virginia’s session gave me an opportunity to test out one part of this idea. I knew I wanted a dress that would twirl beautifully and would be a color that would compliment the backgrounds I had selected. The dress you see in the images is one that I custom made specially for this session. I still have more tweaking to do, but for now, I am having a lot of fun putting all of these ideas together.
Please stay tuned in the weeks ahead. If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to my email newsletter on my homepage to stay up to date with announcements.
