Prom 2015 with My Daughter

For so many parents these last weeks of spring are filled with our teens tittering not about only their soon departure from high school (and groaning about exam hell)  but of what to wear to prom.  Hairstylists,makeup artists along with several shopping trips are consulted and the frenzy of the day can hardly be remembered other than in photos.
 This is our second and last child to be going through this and seeing it through the eyes of our daughter is certainly much different then with our son. "Being a photographer comes in kinda handy at this time I am told".
 Our day started  at 7am for her  ( I had already walked the two dogs an hour earlier!)  as we went to her friends home, who did her makeup, next was Salon Spice before reaching our studio. It really was fun to work with my daughter and create her memories.  Hanna had a  lovely prom dress she ordered on line ( turns out from Australia) beware shipping makes it incredibly more expensive then you might originally think! But it really was a bargain two piece and she was the only gal with that style so an even more important at PROM right. The day carried on for her but stopped for us as it really was about being with friends for photos and going around the city on a bus for more pics ( one does tire of this event going on too long). We are so grateful for all those in her life who have got her to this day particularly herself. Hanna is a wonderful,funny, articulate confident young woman who brings out the best in people. I truly am so so proud of her and how hard she has worked to get to these days that I hope she can find joy in seeing herself years from now in these images and remember it fondly.

I see so many people with these amazing dresses and suits on and just hope that they all get a pro image of them for their families as it really is such a rite of passage that it would be a pity to miss out on a photo that really reflects all the work that went into making Prom memorable. Thanks to Caitlin ( makeup) and Rebecca (hair) and I guess I get a little credit too. Next is Grad..but we have a month to prepare !!

I have one more on Instagram if you want to see it go to philomenahughes and you will find me..or go to our website and click on the Instagram link there. Maybe you will be there one day!

Senior Portraits and Graduation Memories Captured by Philomena Hughes Photography

Most of us can remember the joy and excitement of our senior year of high school or college in vivid detail as the looming graduation ceremony takes us that much closer to the person we aspire to be. Even with all of those memories in the back of our minds, it’s always nice to have the photographs to look back on and remember that young and excited version of ourselves as the years go by.

Then again, on a less serious note, getting your senior portraits done is just plain fun! You get to pose in your favorite outfits, maybe even taking the opportunity to show off your interests in a few shots. Then at the end of it all, you get to show them off and exchange with your friends.

At Philomena Hughes Photography, we can tailor your senior portrait session to suit your personal and unique style. During our consultation we can help plan the entire day; whether you prefer a studio session or a special location outdoors, your photo session will be custom designed to create gorgeous lasting memories.

At Philomena Hughes Photography, we ask that you book your consultation 2-4 weeks prior to your session, so that you can relax and have fun on the day that the photos are taken. Everything will be planned out in detail – all you need to do is sit back and allow us to capture the moment.

Senior year and college graduations symbolize a time of joy and growth, and we can honestly say that there is no other time in life that will be celebrated quite like these moments. Philomena Hughes Photography can ensure that the shots you walk away with will have you feeling great about yourself and eager to show them off!
