Miriam & The Traveling Dress

When I heard about Little Dreamers Tutus’ Traveling Dress Project, I was both excited and inspired. These exquisite, couture gowns are the dresses of little girls’ dreams. Earlier this year, my first Traveling Dress photo session with MJ was an amazing experience, so I was so excited to meet up with Miriam when another traveling dress arrived!

The Traveling Dress Project: A Dreamy Library Photo Session

Seven-year-old Miriam is an avid reader. She reads three to four hours a day! So, the library was the perfect location for her fun photo session with a traveling dress! We met up at the Central Public Library in Indianapolis to capture this dreamy photo session!

Miriam is also a ballerina. She moved around the library with such elegance and grace that other visitors stopped to watch us. The traveling dress for this session was the Hadley gown. The gown was made from a rich taffeta with a beautiful sheen making the purple color softly shimmer in the light. The dress was simple and elegant, with a full skirt with a fluffy tulle skirt sewn in underneath. It made swishing up and down the rows of bookcases so fun for Miriam! The dress had a wonderful structure and texture, making it so easy to photograph! I paired the gown with the “Illuminate Cape” from Tutu du Monde and a sparkling headband by Sienna Likes to Party. Both of these fun accessories were rented from Rainey’s Closet for a head to toe princess look!

The Central Public Library provided so many great photography opportunities with the wide staircase and the rows and rows of books. At one point, we wandered down one aisle and I asked her to grab a book and pretend to read. Pretend?? A booklover like Miriam wasn’t about to PRETEND to read! Instead, she grabbed a book and actually read it to me. It was some of Walt Whitman's work. I was so impressed with how at home Miriam was in the library.

Childhood should be a time filled with magic, dreams, and adventures. I was so happy to photograph this dreamy library photo session with this gorgeous traveling dress from Little Dreamers Tutus. Capturing precious moments like these is one of the best parts about my job as a child photographer!
