It's That Time of Year Again...

It's homecoming season! I'm no longer in high school but my younger sister is, she's a junior. This year she went with one of her friends, who happens to be the quarter back of the football team. Cheerleader and quarter back football player going to homecoming together, typical I know. He is super sweet and I love him and his family to death, they actually went together freshman year as well so this was nothing new to them. So as always I came home from school to do Kristen's make up and her friends hair... and actually ended up doing my sisters hair as well, but thats a different story. Kristen finally wore her own dress, she has borrowed someones dress at the last minute for the past 2 years and I never really liked the dress. This year was different she finally found a dress she loved, and it was red she has been dying for a red dress, and I actually approved of it. She decided to get her hair done by someone this year, i usually do her hair and i get so frustrated because her hair is so pin straight its impossible to hold a curl! So I definitely didn't mind when she told me she was getting it done. So while she went to get her hair and nails done her friend came over and I did her hair, she just wanted curls and a braid lauren conrad -esque. Kristen came home from her appointments right was I was finishing her friends hair... her hair was a hot mess. It just did not look good and most of the curls had fallen and was straight again. I quickly did her make up (and mine too) she got dressed and I started fixing her hair. Her date showed up 10-ish minutes early so he sat with us while I finished her hair. Then off to his house for pictures. We got pictures of just them before everyone arrived for group pictures and they looked adorable together, they are one of those people who just photograph well. My sister is on crutches because she sprained her ankle on thursday during cheer practice and it turned out that her date was in a splint from the homecoming game yesterday. They obviously didn't wear any of it for the pictures but I insisted on getting a "crip pic" where she was on crutches and he was in his splint. Once everyone arrived we did group pictures which as always were crazy because they had 38 people in their group and all the parents were there and they all believe that they are photographers so it was just a mess. I usually dont take group pictures since their group is so large you cant see anyone anyways so thats where i do close ups of my sister and her friends that I know. After group pictures everyone was doing individual pictures with their friends and I was lucky enough to snap one of Kristen and her friends, they all looked stunning! The dress colors everyone chose was just amazing, they always look so good and I wish I had amazing dresses when I went to homecoming! I didn't have a sense of style when I went to my freshman year homecoming so I looked like a disaster! I only went to my freshman and senior year homecoming and my senior prom, so I don't have many pictures of me all dressed up and one of the years I look crazy. Luckily my senior year I knew a little more and actually knew how to properly dress myself. Once they left for dinner my sisters dates mom had everyone inside for some food and drinks. I had some food and came directly home to edit the pictures. They turned out amazing and my sister and her date couldn't have looked better.
