Sail Away: A Nautical-themed Prom!

I have been so crazy thankful that I have been able to document some my high school’s special events over the past two years since my graduation. Homecomings, proms, and even my little sister’s own graduation night in just a couple of weeks… I can’t believe it!! Now THAT will be an emotional photo shoot! Just two weeks ago I got to be present at her Senior Prom as the photographer, and it was hard enough not tearing up then! Not only have I watched my sister grow up these past years, but I’ve also watched little middle schoolers grow into amazing young men and women about to set off for COLLEGE! I just can’t believe it! As I stood in front of Madigan’s Waterfront Restaurant that Friday night, I had to keep glancing back again when I saw these kids driving themselves arriving their own cars…! It’s just so surreal. CCA Class of 2013 (and ’14!), you all are a good lookin’ group! I hope you had an AMAZING time at Prom Night, and I hope to be there next year capturing the next junior and senior classes!

  • Dear Megan,
    This is Lea Vecchioni’s mom, is it still possible to purchase copies of Lea’s prom pics for 2013 and 2012? Also, pics of Graduation 2013?

    Thanks, Rita Vecchioni
