The pre-prom/grad shoot!

Thanks so much for all the comments on the prom pics, it certainly was a lot of fun!

This shoot was much more to my liking. We went to three different locations, so I will split it into 2 posts. I shared this photo earlier but here are the rest:

We started with a few traditional poses in their graduation gowns. I actually got choked up when I turned around and they were all wearing the gowns. Don't they look happy?

And then 'roomie' shots. These two are going to one university and going to be roomates:

And these two are going to a different university and going to be roommates (and we are all very afraid of the state of said room. . .):

Now, this next shot has been 4 years in the making. Ever since I laid eyes on those red gowns, I knew I wanted to get this shot. This is the sign that welcomes you into our town, it has always reminded me of the famous "Hollywood" sign, only not! ha ha!

So, I risked my life parking on the side of the road (no, just kidding, I did park on the side of the road but there was no life risking involved) and the girls worked it, getting many a 'honk' and 'woo hoo'! It was a lot of fun and I love how the pictures turned out:

Once we got our shot, we headed to another location I had scoped out. An incredible field just full of buttercups in full bloom, once again perfect for those red gowns:

Kadi had gotten quite used to the honks and shouts and embraced her new roll as supermodel:

I knew I wanted to use the canvases, and had quotes in mind for each of them. Some are by Weeds and Wildflowers and some are by Vol25 (as are the fun clouds coming up!):

After the individuals we did some group quotes (possibly my favourite shot of the night):

And love this one too. These girls are very playful, never take themselves too seriously, this is so 'them':

(aren't those clouds fun?? Check them out here)

At this point, we were losing the light and Emma was starting to get covered in hives (such a good sport, she is pretty much allergic to everything in that field! ) so we called it a night:

I love these shots and so do the girls! I will share part 2 of this shoot later this week.

Thanks for stopping by!
