Claire & The Traveling Dress

As a child photographer, my first and most important goal in my photography is to capture the magic and joy in childhood. My job is to photograph the joy, the wonder, the giggles, and the wildness. That’s why I have loved being a part of the Little Dreamers Tutus Traveling Dress Project. With every dress comes a new adventure, a new dream, and new smiles. The first traveling dress project photo session was MJ’s princess session with the Alyssa dress.

When it came time for Claire’s traveling dress photo session at the Indy Family Photo historic studio, I was so excited to see her reaction to the beautiful gown. It was so much fun to document Claire’s joy during her studio photography session.

The Traveling Dress Project: A Sparkling Studio Session

Claire is a four-year-old with a wild, vivid imagination. For her Traveling Dress, we had the Hadley Dress in rust. I had a chance to photograph the Hadley Dress in purple for Miriam’s dreamy library photo session, so it was such fun to see it in another color!

Claire LOVED this dress and she floofed and flounced her way around the studio. In fact, she had trouble holding still at all because she was just SO excited. Really, though, I couldn’t blame her! Claire loved the sparkles, the stars, and the gold confetti. She would throw her head back after tossing up the confetti and she nearly swallowed some of it! Claire thought it was hilarious. When I brought out the princess crown, she was a little unsure, but those facial expressions she made while she was wearing it were priceless! The sparkling star confetti and the princess crown were both Amazon finds.

Photography is all about telling a story without using words. I am so happy to be able to share the joy and the happiness that Claire had when she got to be a princess with me in the Indy Family Photo Studio. I love my clients and sharing their stories. If you would like me to capture the story of your kiddo, please reach out! I would love to hear from you.
