Can I let you in on a little secret? It's the way that every little girl can feel like a princess for her portrait session. It's called Rainey's Closet.

Every photographer (and mom!) wants to find the perfect outfit for their portrait sessions. You want something unique, fun, and just a little bit whimsical. Something a little bit fancier than your everyday clothing, because photo sessions are a time to have a little fun and experiment with something new!

But that can get a little expensive, especially if you're just going to wear it once, and even more so if your little girl will outgrow it in no time at all.

The solution? Rent the perfect dress for your session!

Rainey's Closet is a boutique rental company, similar to Rent the Runway, but with couture dresses and adorable little outfits for babies, little girls, and even some items for little boys! Their website is filled with the most popular brands that photograph so beautifully -- Tutu Du Monde, Dollcake, Nellystella, Well Dressed Wolf, Joyfolie... The list goes on and on!

I adore this service because for about $35, you can rent the most perfect dress that will truly make your session that much more magical. A dress that is perfect for twirling, with little hints of sparkle and lots of movement that looks amazing on camera.

I have discovered so many gorgeous brands and gowns through this website, and it's definitely a favorite resource of mine that I recommend to all of the families I work with. Planning a beach session this summer? Rather than spending $30-40 on a dress at the store that you may or may not love, and one that may or may not photograph nicely, rent one from Rainey's Closet that will look STUNNING for your session and that will make your little girl feel like a princess.

Many moms like to send me pictures of the outfits they are thinking of before the session, and then it's so easy to pick one of the dresses from Rainey's Closet to coordinate. Their colors are soft with lots of neutral tones that will go well with every combination you could possibly dream up. I have marked dozens of their dresses as favorites, and pinned even more on our wardrobe inspiration boards on Pinterest. Stuck on outfits? Start with Rainey's Closet and the rest will come together beautifully!
