When I first started photographing motherhood, I quickly realized something important. The biggest stress for my mamas was not the session itself. It was what to wear. That is exactly why I created a client closet.
At Blankslate Photography, I never want outfit planning to overshadow the beauty of your maternity or newborn session. These moments are tender and fleeting. You deserve to walk into the studio feeling calm, prepared, and confident. Not overwhelmed by a shopping cart full of maybes.
Why I Created a Client Closet
The heart behind my client closet began with empathy. I remember how exhausting those early days of motherhood can feel. Your body is changing. You are adjusting to a new rhythm. You are caring for a tiny human. The last thing you need is pressure to find the perfect dress.
I wanted to remove that stress completely.
My client closet allows you to simply show up. No frantic online orders. No wondering if the dress will fit when it arrives. No trying to coordinate colors for everyone at the last minute. I have carefully curated a collection of gowns, toddler pieces, baby outfits, and simple dad tops so your family looks beautifully cohesive without the extra work.
You walk in. You try on a few options. We choose what makes you feel radiant. It is that simple.
A Studio Experience Designed for You
The client closet lives inside my studio, Slate Studio. This space was created with intention. Soft light. Neutral tones. A calm atmosphere where you can breathe.
When you arrive for your session, everything is in one place. The gowns are hanging and ready. The baby pieces are folded with care. Toddler outfits are selected to photograph beautifully in studio lighting. Even dad has thoughtfully chosen tops that photograph well and complement the overall look.
Because everything is curated for my studio environment, the colors, textures, and fabrics photograph seamlessly. The result is a timeless, cohesive gallery that feels elevated and effortless.
What You Will Find in the Client Closet
My client closet is filled with flowing maternity gowns that highlight your bump in the most flattering way. Soft fabrics that move beautifully. Neutral tones that never go out of style. Pieces that photograph with grace.
For newborn sessions, I provide simple, delicate baby outfits and wraps that keep the focus on your little one. For toddlers, I have sweet, comfortable pieces that allow them to move and still look polished. For dads, I offer classic tops that coordinate without competing.
Every piece has been chosen with intention. I select items that photograph beautifully in my studio and that flatter real bodies in every season of motherhood.
The Heart Behind It All
The client closet is not just about clothing. It is about how you feel.
I want you to feel cared for. I want you to feel seen. I want you to step in front of my camera without second guessing yourself.
When my clients tell me how much they love having access to the client closet, it reminds me why I built it in the first place. It allows you to focus on what truly matters. Holding your baby. Laughing with your toddler. Soaking in the tiny details that change far too quickly.
Your only job is to show up and love on your family. I will take care of the rest.
