styling gowns for all ages
Getting to know your clients is essential for creating a personalized experience and ensuring their needs are met.
Here are some effective tips to build rapport and gather the necessary information before and during their visit:
Pre-Consultation Questionnaire:
Send out a brief questionnaire before the meeting to gather information about the client's preferences, style, and occasion. Ask about their favorite colors, styles, and any specific themes they have in mind.
Example questions to ask:
What colors do you love or want to avoid?
Do you have a particular style or theme in mind for the shoot? (e.g., vintage, modern, whimsical, etc.)
What type of gown are you interested in? (e.g., formal, casual, themed)
What mood or feel do you want to capture in the photos? (e.g., romantic, playful, candid)
Do you have any specific ideas or inspiration for the shoot? (Please share links or images if possible.)
These questions will help you gather essential information while also showing your clients that you care about their needs and preferences, setting the stage for a successful collaboration.
Every girl and woman has a unique story and personality, and photoshoots provide the perfect opportunity to showcase that individuality! By selecting gowns and themes that resonate with their personal style, clients can express themselves in fun and creative ways. This freedom of expression often results in truly unforgettable images that capture the essence of who they are.

Annette shared her excitement about using our stunning Radiant Allure gown:
"Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful college student in our stunning Radiant Allure gown. This gown truly shines, especially when paired with my fall-toned drop backdrop and the timeless cream setting. The Radiant Allure is even more breathtaking in person, evoking the elegance of a wedding gown with its rich detailing, quality fabrics, and graceful flow."
"What I love about the Radiant Allure is its versatility. It’s perfect for holiday sessions, harmonizing beautifully with fall tones, or simply for a glamorous photoshoot. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a day to feel extraordinary, this gown elevates any experience." - Annette
