I wanted to create a once-in-a-lifteime session, something to absolutely WOW her and her brand.<br \/>\nKayli has been racing cars since she was 8 years old, and now inching ever forward to her dream of racing on the big Nascar stage. The month before our session, she won her first <a href=\"https:\/\/speedsport.com\/racing-nation\/west\/barker-still-soaking-vegas-victory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">big race<\/a> in a higher division, making our plans even more important. To create a session that showed the balance of her beauty, strength and determination required some detailed timing, location and, of course, the gorgeous Parachute Dress.<br \/>\nThere are a lot of options in the world for Parachute Dresses: so many talented designers, colors and styles to choose from. I quickly settled on designer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aliceandrewsdesigns.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alice Andrews<\/a>, whose custom work is simply spectacular. I wanted a specific color of blue, matching Kayli&#8217;s brand color, and Alice had the perfect dress.<\/p>\n<p>Parachute Dresses themselves are always unique, and surprising when you see them in person. Bigger than you&#8217;d think, lighter than you imagined, and stunning to work with.<\/p>\n<h3>The Session!<\/h3>\n<p>Once we had time and location sorted, along with the ever impeccable hair &amp; make up artist, Tatiana, a session was born.<br \/>\nWe started at 4am (yes, AM) in my studio, for hair &amp; make-up. Then, along with Kayli&#8217;s race car Monster, we made the 45 minute drive out to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/El-Dorado-Dry-Lake-Bed\/1761262040871273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dry Lake Bed<\/a>. Late June, in Las Vegas, demands a sunrise start time to avoid the heat!<br \/>\nIt is allllll worth it, to see the finished images for Kayli.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156-117x146.jpg 117w, https:\/\/victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156-40x50.jpg 40w, https:\/\/victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156-60x75.jpg 60w, https:\/\/victoriabremner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/KayliBarker2018156.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:767px) 240px, 240px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yes, we added smoke bombs!
