Prom season!  One of my graduates hired me to take some pictures of her and her date outside of prom.  What an honor and fun time.  This was at The Henry in Dearborn (not Greenfield field village, confusingly this place was formally the Marriott and is by Fairlane).  The venue was gorgeous, what a beautiful and fancy prom.  We did these outside and then I bid farewell and I am sure they went on to have a grand time.

light edit

I made them black and white, upped the contrast and cropped them down.  I could do more.  I could increase the detail and lighten his face, etc... but sometimes what you want to go for is the spirit of the pictures.  Sometimes not managing the model AT ALL is the best way to capture who they are.

don't overthink...

Sometimes you just sit down and call a kid to you and snap some pictures.  Don't worry and put it on automatic.  These are all untouched.  I will edit them and put them in a row ... (no fancy editing, I will just use iPhoto for this)
