Rochester, MN Little Golden Book Gown | Nicole Mills Photography
I was at an estate sale over the Summer and came across a few Little Golden Books, and the idea for a gown popped into my head. I knew I wanted to make one for my daughter to model for me...and of course, I knew it would be a good addition to the wardrobe at Nicole Mills Photography after that! So, I got busy keeping an eye out for these wonderful little books, and started planning the gown. Being a frequent shopper for studio wardrobe at Goodwill and such, I knew I had the perfect flower girl dress to be used as my base for the Little Golden Book gown. It had a beautiful teal colored bow that went around the waist and hung almost to the floor in back. Luckily, it fit my daughter perfectly! I set to work tearing out book pages (ouch, I know...tearing up books...it feels wrong!), and then got the hot glue gun out. About 25 books, and a few hot glue burns later, I had this amazingly precious dress ready to photograph. My daughter graciously agreed to give me a few minutes of her time to model it, so we loaded up the car and headed up to Nicole Mills Photography in Pine Island to have ourselves a photo shoot! We asked a few of her best buds to participate, and we ended up with some images that I LOVE.
If you have a little girl you'd like photographed in this, or another custom gown, please get in touch with Nicole Mills Photography! I'd be happy to create a gown based on the interests of your daughter, if this dress doesn't fit or suit her. Do you have tons of drawings & artwork tucked away in a binder somewhere that your daughter has created over the years? I can scan and print her artwork and turn it into a truly unique one-of-a-kind creation for her to be photographed in...and you'll have an amazing portrait to cherish forever!
I hope you enjoy these images. First...a little video showing some behind the scenes prep!
