my sweet blonde sister, heather, asked if i'd come do photos of her group of 20 friends before homecoming.  i love making situations fun and lively that are normally boring and awkward, so i said a big yes.

little did i know, that my normal tricks at an engagement session wouldn't work in this context.  "kay.... get SUPER CLOSE!" they'd say- "AWK-WARDDDD".  or i'd wonder if i could ask them to hold hands.  have they HELD hands before? are they even dating?  if they ARE dating.... will their mom care if i ask them to hold hands, since she is taking photos right over my shoulder? and that was the other issue.  twenty moms and dads, all with their point and shoots, wondering out loud why i'd place them with the sun behind them.  "aren't they supposed to be FACING the sun?" one asked. 

at any rate.... i think we made it about 5% less lame than it could have been.... so i'd say it was a success.  rad homecoming photos for my sister's rad friends.  here are a few.

one fun thing that they did was make their own corsages and boutonnieres.  i was wowed.  it was hilarious.  my sister went with cory, who was MY friend from high school's brother! so great!

and who drives a VW van to homecoming? i want to go re-do my high school dance experience. 
i was so not creative.

love you heath :)
