Amber’s prom in sizzling red

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.

Sydney and Cherokee’s prom

Sydney Chambers and Cherokee Church (tell me those aren’t the names of heroines in a really great novel!) have been besties for more than 12 years. I’ve literally watched the two of  them grow up from babies. These days, they are juniors at West Wilkes High School and a few weeks ago we photographed their prom portraits in our outdoor portrait garden at our studio in Wilkesboro.

They are beautiful young women – inside and out and here at the beach – and are two of my favorite portrait subjects. I love you ladies to bits!! Pixels On Paper Photography Chambers prom portrait photography photoPixels On Paper Photography Chambers prom portrait photography photoPixels On Paper Photography Chambers prom portrait photography photo

Prom Portraits – just around the corner

Spring rain and recent warmer temps have given us all a raging case of The Yips.
The Yips – loosely defined – are a specific kind of excitement that comes from anticipation. Horses behind the gate at The Kentucky Derby have The Yips. You with me?
Spring for us means orchard photos, engagement portraits, our garden going crazy [we hope] and PROM SEASON. We know that girls and guys are thinking of who to ask and may have already chosen a theme, a color, a dress or some fun way to celebrate with friends on what is a favorite high school event and milestone.
