Mission PROM AND GRADUATION PHOTOGRAPHER
CAPTURING THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER IN ABBOTSFORD, Mission, Chilliwack and surrounding communities.
It’s that time of year again, Spring is in the air and Prom season is about to be in full swing and I cannot wait to capture this milestone for this years graduates. Prom and Graduation is a milestone event in many teenagers' lives, it marks the end of their high school years and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. It is an opportunity for them to celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to their future. I met Jasmine’s parents briefly over a decade ago through a work friend and remember meeting Jasmine as a baby, so it was quite a lovely surprise to have her mom reach out to me so many years later to capture this huge milestone in her daughters life. I met up with them a few hours before Jasmine had to leave for prom to capture her all dressed up and of course to capture some memorable family photos on their property in Mission, BC.
I always encourage my grads and their parents/guardians that having Prom photos with each other is so important, it is definitely not just about the graduate, if you show up to your child’s prom photos, expect to be in at least a few of the shots!
Here are some reasons why:
Family Memories: Prom is a significant event in a teenager's life, and including parents/guardians in prom photos helps create family memories. Parents and Guardians are often the ones who supported their child through their high school years, and taking photos together can be a way to celebrate this special moment.
Capturing Special Moments: Prom photos can capture special moments that might not be captured otherwise. Parents often hold sentimental value to these moments and treasure them for years to come and having a tangible photo to commemorate their baby growing up and graduating is a moment that will be treasured for years to come.
Showing Gratitude: Prom is often an expensive event, and parents and guardians often bear the brunt of this cost and including your family in your prom photos is a way to suck it up and show them how much you love and appreciate their support during your teenage years. I promise it will be far less painful than watching your parents/guardians and grandparents try and work their cell phone to get the shot!
Overall, prom photos with your family can be an important way to create memories, capture special moments, show gratitude, and continue traditions. These photos will be cherished by both the graduate and their family for years to come.
As we were wrapping up our prom photo session Jasmine’s school bus drove by. It was such a bittersweet moment to end our session on as it marked the end of a chapter in her life. I was choking back the tears as I am sure her parents were too. Congratulations Jasmine! Wishing you all the best in your future!
