A huge thanks to Caroline for being my model for the night and walking around in the middle of the city in a prom dress and getting honked and stared at. 

The whole shoot was very random. I saw her at work, she wasn't doing anything, we arranged the time and here are the results. 

Taken outside an antique store, I loved the old bench and clean windows.

The Ritz theater (in the background) is one of my favorite locations downtown. It's such a nice building, and I can't wait for it to re-open.

I know this one looks a lot like the one above, but I really liked them both. The church in the background is absolutely beautiful, even in the background.

I love the lighting in this one. It's all natural light, the spotlight effect coming from the reflection of the windows of the building across the street.

Thank you wide angle lens. Again the light is all natural.

 Added slight edge blur for added softness in post.

This was the first image I had in my head when I asked her to do this shoot. The idea of someone standing in the middle of the road in a gown appealed to me greatly. I didn't pose her in this one because I liked the almost awkwardness of her stance. I mean, she's standing in the street. Doesn't get much more awkward than that.

Getting Ready.

Caroline attempts to put in her grandmother's hairpins. They, sadly, wouldn't stay in, but we got some great shots nonetheless.
