    olivia & friends at the mercy ball

    The Mercy Ball is a long time honored tradition here in our town where seniors can be sponsored to go to the ball as honor guard. Boys in tuxes and tails, girls in gowns. Its almost like a winter version of prom. Olivia and her parents had a little pre-ball party and asked me to come over to take some pictures of her with her besties and their dates. And parents too! They all looked gorgeous and had a great time that night. Stay tuned for another pre-ball session at a different house coming up soon.

    kellenberg pre {not a prom} prom party

    I have to say how awesome and polite and well mannered all these kids were! Everyone at the party was all “please” and “thank you so much” and just easy and nice! I loved that they just went as a big, fun group- no actual dates- just a lot of friends having a lot of fun. We luckily missed the torrential rain for the pictures but I hope it didn’t mess up their boat ride that night. Best of luck to all of these graduating seniors and their parents- they’ll go on to do great things! Oh, and the funnest part was my beach neighbors were at the party too! Its always weird seeing beach people in clothing. You know what I mean.

    chaminade preprom

    My great clients got in touch asking if i could shoot their son’s Chaminade high school pre-not-a-prom (or “aqua prom”) party. Of course I was game! The party was held at another one of the boys’ family’s home with 5 couples and their families in attendance. It was a super fun shoot (especially capturing the 5 boys goofing around) and I hope they all had a great time at their “not a prom”! And somehow managed not to be stuck out on the water for the monsoon we had later that evening!

    isabel’s unprom

    Because Isabel’s school decided not to have a prom, her mom put together a little “unprom/graduation party” for her daughter and some friends. So they could wear their dressy dresses and celebrate anyway! I met them for a few pictures before their party and then they were off for dinner, dancing and lots of “unprom” fun! Glad they were able to celebrate a little.

    erin’s prom

    It was a busy day for SSHS prom shoots! Beautiful Erin (who I have also known since she was in 5th grade) and her boyfriend Pat got all gorgeous for their special night. (ps. how awesome is Pat’s hair?) Another one I can’t believe is off to college so soon!
