    patrick & katie go to the prom

    Patrick and his girlfriend Katie (if you’re a blog stalker, you’ll recognize Katie from her sweet 16 and a few family sessions i’ve done for them over the years. Love, love this family so much!) went to her prom a few weeks ago. They really do make a great couple, and pretty good looking if I do say so myself. So I’m a little partial. Look for part two in a few more weeks when Patrick takes Katie to his prom.

    semi-formal

    The boys had their semi-formal on Saturday night and they actually let me take some photos (a rare occurrence these days) so I brought the big camera along to capture a few shots. They had a great time, they even danced. With their beautiful & sweet dates, how could they not?

    Jack & his date Taylor.

    Patrick & his date Gianna, plus his friends Lyra and Teddy.

    ben’s prom

    Another great pre-prom party I got to photograph for one of my favorite bsquared families. Ben graduated and will be heading to University of Michigan in the fall, but had a fun prom night to take care of first. The pre-prom party was at our friends’ house so there were lots of familiar faces in the crowd. I don’t know how they all looked so phenomenal- it was about 150,000 degrees out (give or take), and how the guys in their tuxes weren’t dying.

    Ben looked so handsome in his tux- a felt a rat pack vibe going on…

    If Ben’s grandparents look familiar, its because Ben and Rachel are cousins, so they were in my last blog post too. Some faces in the crowd…Some of my favorites!Jumped in one shot w my friend Fran (who was hosting the party). Yeah, not the most flattering pic of me (I was a sweaty, frizzy, red mess) but whatever. Do you remember Tina from her prom last year?The reflection in the pool was my favorite. Hope you all had a wonderful prom night!

    rachel’s prom

    Ok, so its not the actual prom, but the pre prom party at Rachel’s house. Rachel is my “niece” (the quotes because we are not actually technically related), I’ve known her since before she was born. She was my first baby girl and I had soooo much fun shopping for her- all pink hearts and frilly stuff. So you could imagine that I was welling up a little behind the camera while taking these. Feels like just a few months ago (it was actually 3 years ago!) that I was photographing her brother Adam’s pre-prom party and crying a little then too. But since she’s been hocking me to freaking death for her pictures (see, she takes after her very impatient Aunt Beth), I figured I’d go ahead and get them done so I don’t get any more daily texts.

    You may remember Rachel from her senior session with me. Still gorgeous. And off to University of Tampa in just a few weeks for her freshman year!

    She is a barbie doll. Dad’s reaction to seeing her in her dress the first time was priceless.With her mom (my BFF Heidi).Little sister Erica (3 years till I’m doing this again for her!) and puppy Reef.Nanny and Poppy.Aunt Elizabeth who I also adore. Another great reaction shot!Rachel’s date and boyfriend, Chris. Ahhhh, my girl makes me sooooo proud. She takes after me so much! (I told ya if you did it, I was posting it!)And they’re off…(They had a great time at the prom, I’m told). Hope you love them Rachel! Now stop bugging me.

    jenna’s prom

    So with the “leprosy” going on around here (Jack & Patrick were sick with stomach viruses for 2 weeks) I am a little behind on editing. Trying to catch up and started with Jenna’s prom. They were lucky and had a beautiful day for their prom. A little before pictures at Jenna’s house with her friends and family, and then a few at the pre-prom party at her friend Tina’s (you might remember Tina from her sweet 16 I photographed a few years ago). Everyone looked fantastic and I’ve heard it was a great night.
