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!
