"Most Friendliest"

May is a monumental month in my family with both my nieces graduating, one from college and one from high school. This past weekend kicked-off the whirlwind of activities with Allie's prom. She and her boyfriend are such good sports about having their pictures taken, and after a couple years of great photos, the pressure was on to capture a standout image again. After taking over 80 pix(!), here's a few of my favs.

It takes a village to get a girl ready, even Gracie the cat wanted to get in on the action.
I wanted them to do a dance with a twirl to show off the dress. It took a few tries to get there.

Awww...sweetness
My sister's latest fav technique, off-centering, came out very nice.
I love this artsy one and really think the tux rental place should use it on display. I asked them to lean against the wall and somehow this cute photo came out.

Allie was awarded "Most Friendliest," which she truly is with her beautiful inner spirit, wit, and outgoing personality. All of this from the little girl who was once too shy to leave her mother's side during kindergarten, to the beautiful young lady she has blossomed into today. Love ya cutie!

All pics taken with my trusty Kodak Easyshare, circa 2006, hoping for a grown up camera one day! LOL
