When it’s Prom season and Wedding season, why not jump into both?! Each year prom season comes around and each year I, somehow, miss it! Even dating back to when I was in high school. Yes, I was one of those who didn’t go to Prom. It’s only one of the few things I wish I could do over, but that’s not how life works. So here I am, feeling like I can make that up by photographing the high schoolers attending their prom today. This year, I got the opportunity to do a prom photoshoot at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia.
Very unorthodox to most, but it was dreamy for me! The Oakland Cemetery is one of Atlanta’s oldest public parks. Not only is the resting place of many of the city’s most influential citizens; it’s also a wedding venue, green space, art gallery, and classroom space. It’s beautiful, nonetheless! Now, onto my homegirl Fiona. She reminded me so much of myself. Not much of a camera person especially in front of others, let alone a professional photographer. So this was fun. I’m such an awkward introvert (extroverted in certain situations) person, so when I’m with others that navigate this world the same we click! I cannot wait to photograph more promgoers in the future.
