a prom dress and purple socks

I’ll just confess up front that these images were taken almost a month ago, and they are already “outdated” in that the girl now has shorter, blue-green hair, but what can I say? I still love them.

Oh, and I realize these socks aren’t purple. The socks she’s wearing in the last image are, but you’ll just have to take my word for it. ;)

I love that she’s standing below the “dress code” window while wearing an early 90’s prom dress, bright checkered socks, and Converse, with little monster bows in her hair. She really isn’t one to conform to anyone else’s style…

This is one of my favorite images, and she would not let me post it on facebook where her friends might see it. She hates the white slip dress because it is so not “her,” but it is one of my favorites. I love that she wore it with purple checkered socks, too. I wish I had more images from this part of our session – there is a somewhat humorous story as to why I don’t, which involves a wedding photographer with a misguided idea about marketing himself, but that will have to be for a different post. Suffice it to say I barely caught this shot and wouldn’t have, had my sister not taken one for the team and kept that guy busy a minute so I could get away. My sister rocks.
