Prom season has already come and gone. And just like that, another school year is almost behind us!  I was thankful this year to be asked by one of my very best friends to do prom pictures for her son and his date.  I have known this young man since he was 8 or 9, so it's hard for me to believe he's even old enough to attend prom! 

Always waiting on a woman, so I took the opportunity to do a couple of solo shots of Troy while his date got dressed and got her make-up done.

Loved the touch of red on him.  Red seemed to be the color of prom season this year! 

When Olivia arrived, she looked positively stunning.  I don't know how she possibly could've danced in her shoes all night.  She assured me, though, that as a gymnast, her shoes would be off fairly quickly and tucked under the table since she's most comfortable barefoot anyway.

I asked that we do the corsage and boutonniere on site so I could take pictures.  I forgot how HARD boutonnieres are to put on!  And it didn't disappoint trying to get Olivia to put it on.  I assured her everyone was wearing red, so if she poked him with the needle, no one would ever even know.

With a little perseverance (and a little help from mom!) we got it on, and I'm happy to report no one was injured in the making of these pictures. 

Dance the night away.  Prom comes only but a few times.  These are memories you will hold dear in your heart for a lifetime.
