Lisa & Keith, Anna & Andy

Lisa & Keith, Anna & Andy

What is prom really all about? Looking your best? Well, yes and no. It’s a celebration of the person you’ve become and an expression of your individuality. And if all goes well, everything comes together for the ultimate presentation of the “real you”.

Precious.
Confident.
Unique.
Fun.

Whatever the case may be. Well, when Lisa, Keith, Anna and Andy came in to C1M Professional Photography, we left nothing to chance. We built sets to showcase each of them and to bring out the best in their attire and to capture their personalities. We even brought it outside for a shot of Keith with the ’67 Galaxy that he rebuilt and drove to the prom. These are the special touches that we pride ourselves on and which capture more than just a face … they capture an experience … and that special time when these aspiring young adults know exactly who they are and where they’re headed. It’s fleeting. And if you blink you might miss it. But, in the photos, it lasts forever.

Melissa and the red dress

Melissa and the red dress. The Siren. The Diva. Daddy’s Little Girl. People are complex … and a photo shoot designed to celebrate them can be complex too. In the case of Melissa, who came to C1M on May 4th, her stunning red dress brought out all of the intricacies of this beautiful young woman. As we often do, we designed a custom set. This complimented Melissa’s dress and her unique facial features that amazingly meld an innocence and a sophistication harkening back to the roaring ‘20’s – complete with rag time music, flappers and cloche hats. When Melissa’s father showed up still in his Carhardt work pants her sophistication waned as she comfortably morphed back into Daddy’s Little Girl – and, of course, we though it best to capture that as well. These are the challenges … and this is the fun that inspired us to take to this profession. We hope that the results keep you coming back for more.
