Personally, prom was never a big deal for me. I went to my Senior prom and left about an hour later. It was way over-rated, but perhaps that had to do more with the hardships that my senior year had brought my way.
At any rate, I think it could be lots of fun. A chance to get dressed up with your closest friends, have a good dinner, dance and be silly. The group of friends featured in this post did just that. What I love most about them was the obvious difference in them as people. Different backgrounds, skin colors, religions – yet, all so accepting of each other. They are a group of great kids and Katie, whom is an aspiring photographer (and very good, might I add!) asked me to photograph them last weekend before their dinner reservations. We only had a little under an hour, and it was my first time shooting a prom setting, but I had a blast! Thank you for trusting me with your cool photos, Katie and friends – and I hope you enjoyed them and your prom alike!
