Cherish the dress – wearing mom’s wedding dress

April 27, 2026 by Jackie

There is something wildly tender about a little girl standing in her mom’s wedding dress. The fabric is too long. The sleeves swallow her hands. The neckline slips slightly off one shoulder. And yet somehow, it fits perfectly.

When we did this shoot, it wasn’t about playing dress up. It wasn’t about pretending she’s all grown up. It was about connection. The quiet thread between who you were then and who you are now.

That dress once held nervous excitement. It held steady breaths before walking down the aisle. It held a version of you that had no idea what motherhood would feel like. No idea that one day, a tiny human would be standing in the same lace, looking up at you with that mix of mischief and magic only little girls have.

And now here you are.

Yes. I help with outfit guidance before your session, and the studio wardrobe is available for moms for selected sessions, especially maternity and newborn photoshoots.

Maternity photos are usually best between 30 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. This gives you a visible bump while still keeping the session comfortable.

It is best to book your newborn photoshoot while you are still pregnant. The actual session usually happens in the first few weeks after birth, depending on baby and recovery.
