I loved capturing these gorgeous pre-prom portraits for Ava. It was also a great chance for her parents to sneak in a few pictures with her before she was off for the night with her friends. While I don't think prom portraits can replace the quintessential prom photos; you know the sort, large groups of coupled teenagers standing in the front lawn, there were plenty of them, and I love them as well. But, it's nice to have a true portrait to remember such a special night.
