Pipestone Area Schools Prom

By: Mark Thode April 28, 2019April 28, 2019

We had a busy weekend here in the studio. Pipestone Area’s Prom was Saturday, and we spent the day capturing portraits for Prom-goers. Everyone looked stunning. Mini sessions were held in the studio, and then we had a small set-up in the school for students who wanted a professional portrait option. I’ve offered Prom mini-sessions in the past, but being available at the school was a first for me this year. I couldn’t be more thankful to the Prom coordinators for being so gracious and generous. Thanks to all of the students who spent time in front of my camera yesterday – you all looked stunning, and I hope you had a memorable Prom. In this blog post are some of the images captured.

These character study portraits of the Little Mermaid cast were such a thrill. I could create images like these all day, every day… and never tire. I have also included the graphics work I have done for the promotional materials. I am not too familiar with the stage version of this story, but the animated…
