This post is incredibly overdue. I had originally planned on posting this before I left for London (watch out for a travel blog post!!) but life got busy, and well, here we are now.
A few years ago, I had the privilege of doing a pre-prom shoot (one of my first!) for a group of girls from Crofton House. It was super fun and solidified my love of pre prom-senior photography. It was from posting that shoot, and word of mouth, that I met Christina (You can see her personal shoot from a few years back here). She has been one of the coolest clients that I’ve worked with. Her enthusiasm for this little business is amazing – and always recommends me to people she knows! I basically need to hire her as my hype girl.
Anyways! It seemed like a bit of a no brainer that I would work with her when she asked me about doing a pre-prom shoot for her and her friends.
Crofton House is an all girl’s school in Vancouver, found near Kerrisdale – one of my favourite Vancouver neighbourhoods. I think what really stood out about this group was not only their super awesome personalities (because trust me- these girls were a BLAST to work with), but the fact that they opted out for dates and went with each other instead. Beyonce’s Formation and Run The World (Girls) was practically their theme songs.
I am so happy that I got to photograph their day. It started off with a pre-pre prom party at one of their homes. Champagne and appetizers were consumed, while laughter and chatter could be heard all throughout the home as they celebrated with their families. Afterwards, the girls and I made our way to Queen Elizabeth Park where we shot their portraits. I don’t think I’ve laughed as much as I have at a shoot. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do.
