Here Melaine is modeling the first vintage dress that I bought for Lori which really started the collection. I had photographed Lori wearing this dress in the very first photoshoot that I did when I bought my first studio flash units. Since then, I’ve learned a lot about lighting, and to be able to show the detail in this black dress I wanted to re-shoot it. The Edwardian dress is paired with our favorite hat from the collection, and Melaine looked so appropriate in the costume that we wanted to just plop her permanently in our parlor for decoration.
