Prom 2019


Bailey's Junior Prom is a day I will treasure forever. 

We shopped for her dress the weekend after her birthday.  After trying on nearly 20 dresses at 6 department stores, she found a royal blue dress which matched the style she was searching for.  I almost fell over when the cashier rang up the dress for $22.  What a steal!  In the days leading up to prom, she experienced her first spray tan at Suntan City.  Mandy Even at Visions Salon pampered her the morning of prom with a manicure, pedicure, up-do and makeup application.  Her royal blue dress with matching accessories radiated her beauty once she put the entire ensemble together. 

We returned to the UNI campus for some fun photography.  With Aunt Hope's scenic suggestions, we captured some awesome pictures, along with more pictures on our deck. 

Bailey's friend Tex agreed to be her date to the prom.  He was such a gentleman, arriving at our house with a beautiful corsage.  Their evening at prom and post-prom was filled with many memorable moments (you'll have to ask Bailey for the details).

Although prom is now behind us, I'm so grateful for the pictures to remind me of this special day.  They just make my heart happy.
