It was a hot afternoon; almost 90 degrees and almost no clouds in the sky. While walking around Kathryn Albertson Park to try to find the best location, the park was filled with activity, including others who were also dressed for their own prom night with parents in tow, excited for their children's special night.

The goal was to find an area with some protection from the sun. Not only was the sun hot, but it was also creating some harsh sunlight that made picture-taking a bit challenging.

Having found a location that followed all of the park rules, some extra lighting equipment was set up to create pleasing light. Then, everyone arrived. It was a group thing. A group of friends creating memories. And while photographing groups isn't part of this photographer's specialty, this day was an exception.

When not being photographed, the group of friends took their own selfies and talked about everyday things. The stuff that seems trivial, but between friends, it's a whole conversation. You know the kind. The stuff that reminds you that you're with your people. They get you.

And this group got it. They all had the customary neck tie to match the dress. But they also had matching eyewear. Fun colors that finished off their ensemble and added to the fun.

The girls had their moment in front of the camera.
