Mariah had her senior prom this past weekend. Since there was a bit of time to kill after getting all gussied up, the kids decided to head over to the park for a little pre-prom fun.
Even with all the goofing around, we did get a few serious shots...
Nice looking couple. They look like they're having a blast, and your daughter looks gorgeous! My favorite memory of a prom is actually the story behind my 2nd oldest son's, but it's too long to type out. :)
Not with a floor length gown where she could pierce the dress causing it to rip or get tangled up in it. I always make them wear flats when the dress reaches the ground. Heels are fine when the dress is shorter though and serve the purpose of making the legs look amazing ;)
They definitely deserved a little fun after chugging through the stress of senior year. Hopefully they still find time to have fun in college next year.
OH I love the happiness shown here in these beautiful prom dresses. They really are beautiful and that dress? How fantastically red, stands out and looks beautiful!
Prom is a tough time of the year for me. I was never allowed to attend prom. That was just a fact of life for me growing up. It is nice to see every one all dressed up and having fun, but for me it is a little painful.
I'm sorry to hear that Dawn! I never went to my prom either but would have loved to have went. I didn't want to ask my mom for the money to cover the expenses. She was raising 4 kids on her own and money was super tight so I totally get where you are coming from here ♥
Wow what a fun prom shoot! I love that they did the photoshoot at a playground because its the perfect balance of transitioning from childhood to adulthood they are still big kids though. This captures the innocence!
These two look gorgeous together. Your daughter looks stunning in her ball gown! My memories of my own high school prom was so-so. I wasn't prom queen or anything. LOL. Anyway, it was when my daughter attended her prom that worried me. If would have waited in the parking lot outside the venue if I could, but she was growing her wings so I let her go.
Awe, these are great photos and they look great! My favorite memories from prom were just having an amazing time with my friends, laughing and getting all dressed up.
How beautiful she looked and he is so handsome. I love these fun pictures, so different from regular prom pictures. They look like they would have a fun night.
Love to see those happy faces, Theresa...They are having fun indeed. We don't really have the Prom tradition back home in Indonesia, at least during my time. Now they have adopted this tradition and pretty much similar like what we have here..
Great photos of your daughter and her date! Looks like they had fun at the park! Hopefully the prom was a wonderful night for both of them. (My prom was a bit of a disaster!) lol
What beautiful pictures! Your daughter is absolutely gorgeous - and her date wasn't too shabby either. Very cute pics indeed - looks like they had a blast. :) My favorite prom memories? I wasn't dating anyone for either junior or senior prom, so I went each year with one of my great guy friends, which made it easy to just enjoy the night. Afterward a whole slew of friends all came back to my house and we woke my dad up to cook us all a 3:00 a.m. breakfast. :) I think it was just fun to dress up and have a nice dinner before meeting up with friends - nothing extraordinary, but fun none-the-less.
Going with friends is definitely a great way to relieve the pressure of perfection on prom night. A 3 am breakfast is definitely what great memories are made from :)
This is such a great series of them! Such a great looking couple of teens! I just love how fun these are!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alissa! They are both the biggest goofballs when they get together.
DeleteThat means that they are a great couple. Having fun is the most important thing in a relationship.
