The theme of this dance was Rockin’ through the ages, so each couple was dressed up as though they were from an era of rock and roll. We had everything from flappers to hippies to 80’s hair bands!  I love how the photos came out.  The school spirit expressed by these students was incredible, and the energy was so much fun!

The students really embraced the theme and made it a great dance!

I don’t know about you, but I remember my school dance pictures and I am almost embarrassed to think about them.  With my background in portrait photography and posing I figured I could help these students look their best so they would be proud to look back on their high school years.  What do you think?  I think these kids look pretty sharp!

Sometimes studio lighting is just the ticket for a beautiful image.
