The Belle of the Ball
Here at last are the pictures of Emma getting ready for her prom.
We went out for lunch at about 12pm and excitment levels were very high, lol.
Then I dropped her at the hairdresser at 1pm
Here she is after the the hairdo!!!
The shoes.
How on earth does anybody walk in these things????
And the finished product - lump in throat time.
Isn't she beautiful???
And I've given her the red carpet treatment :))
We went down ino the woods to take some more pictures.
They left at about 5.30pm to go to a lovely hotel in town for a meal and music, then on to an 'after party' at one of the girls houses (apparently there were 78 invited, eeek). That went on until 4am (yes you read right 4am!!!)
A few of them spent the night there - Emma being one of them - and I picked her up at 9am this morning. She was looking a little (read very) tired but having had a great time.
The poor thing has to work at 11am this morning. So that is where we are about to go. She is due to finish around 5-6pm - I hope she can last the day!!!!
I am really disappointed in the quality of my pictures - I used the big canon camera which I'm not really used to and the results are less than great. What is it they say - "a bad workman always blames his tools". Well, I'm blaming my camera, I think there was a strange setting in there, lol.
I've decided though I quite liked shooting with it - so I'm going to learn to do it properly.
Hope you enjoyed my quick tour of her day!!!

sometimes when you use a better camera, you have to be more careful about the light!! with that said, i think the images are beautiful!!
i have not worn heels in 30 years!!

It seems that the American Prom has caught on rather in this country. I'm not sure how an 18 year old Sandy would have fancied the idea - probably not much.
I noticed one on our recent trip to Glasgow, where the dresses seemed to be shorter and summery - and all the lads looking very chuffed in suits if I may say.
In Dunoon, my daughter's was this year too - she was also very lovely but isn't Dad going to think that! They seem to go for the long dress option there too - it's more elegant and perhaps a bit more special (perhaps I'm just an old foggy)
