Priscilla and Bo’s prom portraits

On May 15, 2019 by admin With 0 Comments - Proms, Seniors

Sharing is caring.

In this case, Priscilla and Bo are sharing their prom experience and going with each other to their prospective special nights. Pretty sweet, huh? This means two dresses, two tuxes, two dinners and two big parties for this pair. Not a bad deal at all, now that I’ve typed it out and reread it. Why did no one call me and Ryan to, …..I dunno…. chaperone or choose the best dessert at dinner?

Priscilla is a graduating senior at North Wilkes High School and Bo is a Super Senior at Wilkes Early College. Priscilla’s Mom had the forethought to contact me prior to these prom dates in order to work out the best dates to capture photos.

Lucky for them, Bo’s prom night was first date on the calendar and during peak bloom period in the peach orchards. The plan was born from that. The couple looked stunning surrounded by blooms.

Despite how many times in my life that I’ve heard that red heads don’t look good in pink, I beg to differ. Priscilla is proof that gingers shine. Gingers in that we’ve photographed in the orchard are among the most beautiful portraits.

We’ve got loads of orchard photos to share in the coming weeks, so consider this the first taste!

We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden.

We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.

Amber’s prom in sizzling red

On May 16, 2018 by admin With 0 Comments - Portraits, Proms

So, this is Amber Souther, a Junior at West Wilkes High School and for prom season, we photographed her and her date in our outdoor portrait garden a couple weekends ago. A few years ago, we photographed Amber’s sister Laura, who is equally gorgeous. It’s prom season and the gowns in the 21st century are incredibly elegant, original and unique.

Amber’s gown got me thinking: women, even young women, in red is a pretty striking thing. Red is known as the color of power, the color of hearts, Valentines and love. It’s also the signifier of danger, daring and certainly glamour. This child PULLED IT OFF. She looks amazing.
