Commencement 2011

Last night was the commencement dance for the high school. Lindsay was asked by a young man named, Alfredo, who is a foreign exchange student from Mexico. We took her up to her friend Avery's house to wait for their dates to pick them up and take a few pictures. This is probably my favorite picture of Lindsay of all the commencement pictures I took!

Here she is just after arriving at Avery's house. Besties ~

A shot outside...... still waiting for their dates.

We thought we were going to get their just a few minutes before the boys came, but we ended up waiting about 30 minutes so we took a ton of pictures of the girls together.

Waiting some more........

Lindsay and her parents. I have to point out that the ONLY reason Lindsay is taller than me in this photo is because she is wearing heals and I was barefoot!

The girls went upstairs to wait for their dates, here they are coming down the stairs once the boys got there.

The two girls, showing off their corsages. Notice the pearls in with Lindsay's roses and the jewels in Averys. They were gorgeous!!

A group shot that none of them was ready for.

A few more before they go

And, they're off!

These dances are always so fun for me! I love picking out her dresses, helping her get ready to go and of course, I LOVE taking pictures. She always tells me I take way too many but I want to make sure I've got plenty for her to look back on and remember details! She looked gorgeous and I'm thankful she puts up with me making such a big deal out of things!
