Amy's Prom Shoot

The other week I did my first Prom Portrait - however I had also been asked to photograph a daughter of an old friend, who I had not seen for ages.  So I bobbed along to catch up with Mandy and meet her lovely daughter Amy.  Amy was already for her prom and was waiting for her friend to arrive. Amy has a very Mediterranean look, which was just as her mum looked years ago when I first knew her.  Originally I was going to set up a back drop, however I could see a magnificent tree in full blossom in the garden, so I managed to get Amy position under the tree (luckily she had sensible shoes on), so we took some lovely shots there and also inside, using natural light.  When her friend Eleanor  arrived who was dressed in very vintage 50's style, we soon got her involved some shots but not under the tree (not so sensible shoes).  But we could still use the tree as a backdrop from the decking and also using the natural light from the window which again worked rather well.  The girls really enjoyed their prom and again their Mum's were very proud of how grown up they had become.
