Last night was West Craven High School's Prom and it was one for the books! This was my very first time photographing a prom, and I can honestly say… I loved every second of it. From the incredible outfits to the laughter and big smiles, these kids made the night unforgettable.

Huge thank you to my friend Connie for jumping in and helping me—I couldn’t have done it without you ❤️

And a special shoutout to Amy Spence and the amazing WCHS prom committee for putting together such a beautiful event!

This was definitely a learning experience for me, and I’m already dreaming up ways to make it even better next year—bigger setup, custom backdrop, and even more fun energy behind the camera.

Fingers crossed I get invited back… because I’m ready to level this up

I’m beyond excited to be the photographer for West Craven Prom this Saturday! ✨📸

I can’t wait to see everyone all dressed up—each unique style, every detail, and all the personality that makes prom night so special. From classic elegance to bold looks, I know this group is going to show up and show out!

My goal is to make this photo experience fun, relaxed, and full of good vibes so these moments turn into memories you’ll hold onto for years to come. 💫

And can we talk about the theme—Postcards from Paris?! 🇫🇷 I already know the decorations are going to be absolutely stunning, and I cannot wait to capture it all!

Let’s make some magic together! 🖤 West Craven High School
