Where to Shop

Finding the perfect dress that makes you feel beautiful is such an important aspect to your session.  If you feel good, you will translate that energy into your session which will produce images that you adore.  Long, flowy dresses are universally flattering on all body types and offers whimsical movement to your photos.  You simply can't go wrong with this wardrobe choice!  I've put together a list of my favorite online boutiques that offer the perfect selection of affordable, well made, and size-inclusive dresses that are camera ready.  When choosing a dress, consider how it will fit and feel as you're being photographed along with colors and material.  Soft pastels and muted neutrals photograph beautifully and allow the focus to be on you.  Delicate prints or texture add a perfect amount of visual interest - just be sure that other members of your family are dressed in non-competing solids.

"The best decision I made was booking my maternity session with Melissa Mayrie Photography. I am absolutely in love with me images and I love the way she captured my husband and I with our expecting rainbow baby! If you are torn on who to book with, this is your sign to book with her"

"Melissa was fantastic. We had newborn and family photos taken in a beautiful natural light studio. Melissa is great to work with and her work is 12/10! She managed a fussy baby and a toddler who was … “toddlering” to say the least, haha - and our pictures came out amazing!! We can’t wait to work with her again for more family pictures! Can’t recommend enough - communication, professionalism, and her work"

"Melissa creates magic. She has captured the most special moments of my family’s life. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience. Melissa is fast to respond, patient and goes the extra yard to ensure you have the best experience. Not to mention she was beyond kind to our little ones during the entire shoot. They loved her! We can't wait for our next shoot with her."

She helps make the entire process so seamless from recommendations on how to prepare for the session, to being comfortable in front of the camera, and above all gets my stoic little one to actually smile.
