We started with hair. What I didn’t realize is that this was the very same day of the University of Illinois’ graduation. The hair and nail salons were on campus. Talk about a parking night mare. Well, we survived and arrived at the appointment on time.

Gorgeous glittery updo! Next was nails. I’ve never been to have my nails done before, so this was a new experience for me, even as an observer.

She went with a French manicure with a thin red line, to match her dress. It looks very classy. After braving the rain, and protecting the do, we were off to the mall for some makeup.

Emily’s request was a natural look except for her eyelashes. She wanted her eyelashes to really stand out. I think that goal was achieved. What do you think?

So, after a few pictures with friends, I got to take some of just my baby. This was really a fantastic day for Emily. However as Mom, it was a little bittersweet. We won’t have any more days like this, until her wedding. I’m looking forward to that day immensely. Now, here are some final images of my own Princess.

I am so happy to have this entire day documented. If this is something you are interested in for your own prom, please contact me for pricing information. And remember, I can only do one prom session per school (or even less if two schools are on the same day). So, get your bid in early. You can even reserve the day now, without knowing the actual date of your prom. If you’re not sure you want this, don’t worry. I’ll send a reminder out in the spring if I still have dates available.
