Planning your engagement session should feel exciting… not stressful. But one of the biggest things couples worry about? What to wear.
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I have nothing to wear” or “I don’t want to spend money on something I’ll only wear once,” you are definitely not alone.
That’s exactly why I offer a completely free client closet for all of my engagement sessions in Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and the surrounding Iowa areas!
All of the dresses shown in this blog post are all in my client closet!
What Is a Client Closet?
My client closet is a curated collection of dresses available for you to borrow for your engagement session at no cost. These pieces are specifically chosen to photograph beautifully and help you feel confident, comfortable, and like your best self.
Designed for Real Bodies (XS–3XL)
One of the biggest concerns I hear is: “What if nothing fits me?”
I’ve intentionally built my client closet to be size inclusive, with options ranging from XS to 4XL.
Many of the dresses are designed with:
Stretchy, soft materials
Corset backs
Adjustable ties
This means a single dress can often fit multiple body types comfortably and flatteringly.

Try Before Your Session (No Guessing!)
You don’t have to show up on session day hoping something works.
I offer try-on appointments ahead of time, where you can:
Try on multiple dresses
See how they feel on your body
Get help choosing styles that match your vision
I’m also happy to hand-pick options for you based on your style, location, and overall vibe for your session.
Save Money Without Sacrificing Style
Engagement sessions already come with planning, and outfits can get expensive fast.
Using the client closet means:
No last-minute shopping stress
No spending money on something you may never wear again
Access to high-quality, photo-ready dresses
It’s one of the easiest ways to elevate your session without adding to your budget. Seriously, where was this when I had my own engagement session 10 years ago?!

Feel Confident in Front of the Camera
The right outfit makes a huge difference in how you feel during your session.
When you feel confident and comfortable, it shows in your photos. The dresses in my client closet are chosen not just for how they look, but for how they move, photograph, and make you feel. One of my favorite things is to watch the confidence my clients gain as soon as they put one of these dresses on!
Real Clients, Real Confidence
Every client who has chosen to use the client closet has said the same thing afterward:
They were SO glad they did.
Not only did they love how they looked in their photos, but they also loved not having to worry about finding something on their own.

Just a few more reasons you should consider using the client closet
All of these dresses are made to be flowy which does a couple of things. They hug your curves in all the right places and the wind will naturally show movement that always photographs beautifully.
I can help coordinate your partner's outfits, too! What about guys?! Yup, I have shirts in the client closet to fit them, too! I've got you both covered.
I always encourage bringing a second outfit from your own closet if you'd like to have some shots with a more casual look. This gives us a really good variety of pictures for your gallery!
I can help you with seasonal recommendations:
Spring: light neutrals + florals
Summer: lightweight fabrics + fun colors
Fall: earthy tones
Winter: jewel tones + fun layers like cardigans and fur shawls
