I think girls really do just want to have fun. We love to laugh, dress up for each other and feel beautiful. A trash-the-prom-dress at the beach with six high school girls equals way too much fun! These fabulous high schoolers are smart, fabulous and have watched way too many episodes of America’s Next Top Model. But I LOVED it, because I got to help create wonderful memories for these lovely young ladies!

You might wonder why a teen would want to trash their prom dress? Well, why not? Similar to the trend in the wedding industry, ladies often only wear their formal wear once. For goodness sakes, I still have my prom dress in my closet! So why not have a portrait session that is totally out of the norm and different than the cheesy prom pic in front of the fireplace?

And a major shout-out to Jessica Stadler, who let me come along and help out on this fun shoot. Check out her new blog and give her some photo love.
