When I first saw this long white dress some months back, I knew I had to have it for a future maternity shoot. That day finally came when I had the opportunity to have Shawna Henrie of Bleudog Fotography capture my bump.
The dress is by Virgos Lounge, and the flower crown was handmade by Shawna (floral design is one of her many hidden talents in addition to her beautiful photography). Her flower crowns can be customized in any way, and she can work with either silks or fresh flowers.
Update: since this dress is out of stock, I’ve put together some similar options below. Also, if you order a non-maternity dress, just be sure to size up so that you’re still comfortable with the cut of the empire waist.
We started our shoot against a hillside before sunset – I love the romantic sunflares and backlighting Shawna was able to capture. Then we moved into a more woodsy area and took advantage of the foliage. If you’re in need of portrait or event photographer in Southern California (and beyond), Shawna is a pleasure to work with! I’m so glad I have this beautiful fantasy maternity shoot as a keepsake with my first pregnancy.

You look stunning. I’ve just stumbled across your awesome blog, when I search virgos lounge Raina dress pregnancy. I’m purchasing 5 of these dresses in the grey for my wedding in New Zealand in 4 months, and 1 of my bridesmaids is going to be 8 months pregnant , I’m struggling to figure out what size to purchase, can you recall what size dress this was?. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Irina Bond
How incredibly sweet of you! Thank you! Just checked and mine is a UK12. Sizes were super limited when I was ordering, so I took what I could get. It worked out – I was just barely able to zip it up for my baby shower. xo
