Dream Without Limits: The Initial Design Phase

Aspiring for the Perfect Look

Hey there, future stars of the camera! Today, I'm lifting the curtain to give you a glimpse into how we turn your wardrobe dreams into stunning reality for your photoshoot.

From the get-go, I encourage my clients to think about wardrobe in a very aspirational way. Inspiration could come from a favorite moment in fashion history, a favorite designer, a movie or character that really speaks to you, or a dream item you have always wanted to wear the sky is the limit. At this stage in the planning process, we have to set aside self-imposed limits like logistics and budget. We will work with these limitations later. but to truly get the initial direction we need to temporarily set them aside. During our initial design phase – I want you to dream without limits. It's incredible what we can create once we have your ideal wardrobe in mind.

Every photo shoot is a unique adventure, and that means our approach to wardrobe is just as diverse. Here are just a few ways we can make your wardrobe dreams come true:

Making Your Wardrobe Dreams Come True

Build it!

Once we decided on Colina’s fire goddess look, I sourced metallic fabrics that fit the esthetic we were aming for, she sent me images of dresses she loved for inspiration and then built the dress right on her on the day of the photoshoot!

Rent it!

To achieve Vanessa's earth goddess aesthetic, she utilized Rent-the-Runway to find her dream dress. While she explored options she sent me screenshots of potential dresses, we collaborated to find the perfect ensemble for her photoshoot.

Augment it!

To depict Allecia's story as a writer, we selected a dress from her closet and layered it with a tulle skirt from my client wardrobe. We adorned the ensemble with small mirrors, attached using magnets for easy removal without damaging the dress.

Borrow it!

Paula had been eyeing this Cape de Coeur cape for ages and so I wrote to the designer and asked if we could borrow a cape for the photoshoot and she said yes!

Combine it!

For Devon's romantic gown, we crafted a loosely Victorian-inspired ensemble by combining a dress from her closet with fabric and accessories from my client wardrobe.
