Radiant Motherhood: Valerie’s Little Black Dress Maternity Session at GingerBirdie West End Studio in Winston Salem

In the heart of the West End in Winston Salem, we planned a very trendy Studio Maternity Session with Valerie and a little black dress. Valerie wanted to embraced her pregnancy journey in a different way. She had already taken photos in a flowy dress in a sun-drenched field. She wanted something that would stand out.

The Allure of the Little Black Dress

The little black dress, affectionately known as the LBD, has a special place in fashion history. Its simplicity and versatility have made it a symbol of timeless elegance. Valerie chose to embrace this classic piece as part of her maternity session. The results were nothing short of breathtaking.

Valerie radiated elegance as she adorned her little black dress. Her choice was not only a nod to the classic LBD but also a symbol of her innate style and poise. The dress accentuated her baby bump and created a silhouette that was both chic and endearing.

The choice of location for a maternity session is crucial. Valerie’s decision to hold her shoot at GingerBirdie West End Studio was nothing short of inspired. The studio’s blend of vintage charm and contemporary style provided an ideal backdrop for capturing the essence of this special time.

The Studio’s natural light poured in through large windows, casting soft, flattering shadows. This added depth and dimension to Valerie’s photos. The interplay of light and shadows highlighted her curves, creating a sense of mystery and allure.

The Play of Light and Shadows

The GingerBirdie West End Studio’s natural light poured in through large windows, casting soft, flattering shadows that added depth and dimension to Valerie’s photos. The interplay of light and shadows highlighted her curves, creating a sense of mystery and allure.

One of the most captivating aspects of Valerie’s little black dress maternity session was its simplicity. There were no elaborate props or extravagant settings—just Valerie, her dress, and the love she felt for her growing family. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful moments are the simplest ones.

In some of the most striking moments of the session, Valerie’s little black dress took on new life in black and white photographs. These monochrome images added a timeless quality, emphasizing the simplicity and elegance of the LBD.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Alisha!

I'm so excited you're here! 

In addition to being a lady-boss photographer, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher and a follower of Jesus. Those things are the center of everything about who I am, what I do, and how I do it. That means I believe in how important family is, whether you are just starting your own, or are celebrating all of those special milestones. Josh and I have been married for over 12 years and photographing weddings and families for over 10 of those years. Our style has evolved over time, but we love capturing images that are bright, colorful, and tell the most important story - yours!

When we are not shooting, I love going on adventures with our two beautiful girls, trying new recipes, or catching up on my favorite shows with my hubby.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Josh!

I want to capture your day!

Having the opportunity to live in a town as beautiful as Kernersville, NC is great. Being able to be here with Alisha is even better. I've been married over twelve years to the love of my life and for most of that time we have worked closely as wedding photographers. Because of this, we have a unique outlook on the wedding experience. Having the opportunity to find the joy and love in that special day and share it with you and your family and friends is the best thing about what I do. That's why I never miss getting a photo of the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time.

When I don't have a camera in my hands, I enjoy coffee dates and car-sushi with my bride, board games before bed, and binge watching Netflix.
