Ashley’s Fairytale Birthday Photoshoot | Norfolk, VA

Alexa, play "Today Was a Fairytale" by Taylor Swift

You know how sometimes things are a little bit TOO perfect and you just have this unshakeable feeling that SOMETHING is going to go wrong? It has to. There's just no way this can stay this perfect.. This was one of those times.

But guess what? Everything remained perfect until the very end. I'm still shocked if I am being totally honest.

Not because things never go right, but because this shoot was so right I don't think I will shoot a more perfect session.

Let me just say that Ashley had a creative direction for her photoshoot and I was so determined to make it a reality.

The images were very whimsical, almost like a painting. The overall mood was dreamy and fairytale like. It was honestly right up my alley! I was so excited to do her photoshoot. I feel like it can be rare that people find you that have a vision similar to yours and want to pay you for that vision. For example I get a lot of inquiries that really make me scratch my head wondering, "Did you even see my work? Why are you asking me for this?" SO. When I see projects like Ashley's, I get REALLY excited.

Fun fact: She got her dress off of Amazon!

I am a sucker for a beautiful dress. When she sent me a photo of the one she was planning to wear I just about died. It was so freaking beautiful! So if you are ever in need of a dress, don't hesitate to go to Amazon to try to find something! You might just find some hidden gems!
