Pastel dress adorned with ruffled sleeves. Perfectly matching satin covered bag and heels. Pasted updo hairstyle that would only move for an F5 tornado. Those are the images that come to mind when I think of prom. BOY HAVE TIMES CHANGED SINCE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL! Modern day prom-goers have unique and fashion forward style, which means anything goes. There are so many options nowadays, from hair color to pant length to whether or not to wear a corsage. Teens have some tough decisions to make when it comes to dressing for this rite of passage. This season, I had the pleasure of capturing the excitement of prom for several of Kentucky’s finest young people. Their looks varied, but they were each stunning in their own right.
