A Heartfelt Garage Mini: Mother-Daughter Session with Ally of Ally’s Beauty Bar

This Garage Mini was incredibly special to me. It featured someone I admire and adore — Ally, the owner of Ally’s Beauty Bar. She’s not only an incredibly talented hair and makeup artist in the wedding industry, but she’s also someone I’ve collaborated with on countless styled shoots. I’ve hired her for boudoir clients, recommended her to so many of my brides, and always loved working alongside her. So when she became a new mom, I knew this session was meant to happen.

Ally showed up with her signature style — her outfits were absolutely dreamy, and she brought the same creative flair to the shoot that she brings to her work. Her daughter? Oh my goodness. The cutest little ray of sunshine, full of smiles and joy. It was such a tender, sweet experience to photograph this beautiful bond between mother and daughter.

This is what I love so much about these Garage Minis — they give me the chance to connect with people I love, to capture small moments that mean so much, and to create lasting memories in the most unexpectedly beautiful ways.
