This session was a surprise gift from my good friend, Bailee, to her cousin, Bella, and her boyfriend, Dalton! When Bailee told me about her idea to surprise her cousin with prom pictures right before the dance my answer was "HECK YES"!
(Cousins, Bella & Bailee)
Prom is such a fun, special memory for a young person and I was honored to photograph their experience!
First off- ARE THEY NOT THE CUTEST?!?!
They looked absolutely FABULOUS! Though I'm a SUCKER for a great fit, what really captured my attention was the vibe between them. They are so clearly smitten with one another. Not just like, oh teenager puppy love, but that can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of stuff. (And if you do not get that reference, 1. you're making me feel old, and 2. go rent yourself "It Takes Two" and catch yourself up with some Olsen twins, why dontchya!)

Can't you just see it in the way they look at each other?! So sweet, so wholesome.
It was also impressive to me the maturity they handled themselves with throughout our hour-long session together! You know, you can never know what to expect when you're working with teenagers, and I came fully prepared for full-on teenage readiness for prom! Instead, I was met with two adults (in teenagers' bodies!). They were respectful, self-aware, confident, and mature! I was extremely impressed with them, to say the least!
We made our way around downtown Fort Myers and as we were taking pictures in this
beautiful archway with lovely pillars, Bella gasped and said, "There's a piano!". And sure enough, there was a lovely little piano! We asked the man attending the building if we could take some pictures and he said yes and showed us an even more beautiful piano in this beautiful, naturally lit room! (a photographer's dreeeeeam!) So, we went to work, and here are some of my favorites there!!
Once we had our fill of piano dreams, we made our way to my latest favorite location, the parking garage rooftop! Let me just tell you, it was MAGICAL!! The sun was PERFECT! And they were just so gorgeous! The photos range from adorably sweet, to drop-dead gorgeous model status!!
I could post these pictures FOREVER! These two are literally perfect and definitely deserve to be on the cover of a magazine! All in all, it was a lovely evening & I was honored to capture these moments they'll remember forever!
