Elisa

On the day of her wedding, Elisa wanted the dress to fit perfectly…now, every day, it feels like it's getting smaller and smaller...and she couldn't be happier.

MARRIED OCTOBER 4, 2008 - She hadn't gotten the dress out since the wedding. She hadn't even had it cleaned. "It's filthy...that's hilarious."

She told me it was so much fun to "play dress-up" with the dress. It really seemed to be something from the past for her, but not locked away in a vault; it was okay to take it out and have fun with it. I originally photographed her in the dress 10 months before on her wedding day; her first child is due in 2 months, 2 days after her first anniversary.
