Rented Dress Maternity Session - Fountainbleu State Park

As some of you may know, when I get an idea in my head I HAVE to shoot it. Literally within the day I'm doing a model call, planning the session out, booking the person and getting it done. It's an itch I just have to scratch. Well, I rented this gorgeous gown for my future sister-in-law's engagement pictures and envisioned a maternity session on the beach with it. As soon as I got the dress in and saw the deep red color, it just popped in my head and it had to happen.

That night I posted needed a model from the area willing to venture into Lake Pontchartrain and the inquiries flooded in. I pulled randomly the next day and the beautiful Chelsea was chosen. It was like this gown was made for her.
