This fall marks my third year of my Photo Events, and I can’t believe how much these have grown. Three years ago, I wanted to provide high school student with high res photos, that were actually cute, and they could share online. There was nothing like it – that I knew of – so I wasn’t sure what the response would be like, but I am so thankful for how these events have grown! I am so thankful for each and every student that attends a Photo Event. It is so much fun for me to get to meet so many new faces and to see familiar faces dance after dance. While I know a few other photographers in the Southern IL area have now grabbed on to this idea, I know that there’s nothing quite like a Haley Nicole Photo Event. The fun energy is something that can’t be replicated, and I’m so thankful for those who choose to attend each and every dance (rain or sunshine!).

This weekend was Christ Our Rock Lutheran High School’s homecoming dance, and we had half of the student body at the Photo Event!! Talk about a busy evening! Hayden and I ended up staying twenty minutes over because we didn’t want to leave anyone without photos. The sun set just a few minutes after everyone left, and I was once again amazed by the incredible HN Family that has formed in Southern IL. I even had a student {Jillian} come up and thank me and give me a hug! How stinking sweet is that?!

Christ Our Rock has a tendency of ALWAYS having bad weather on the day of its dances. However, this year, we were able to break the curse for both Prom and Homecoming! I’m hoping the bad weather bug has officially moved on {the first two years I did Photo Events, it poured at every COR dance}.

The COR students came loud and proud, and oh my goodness, they looked great! I’m so excited to share the photos from the evening. A few girls had red dresses on – so you know I was just swooning!! Take a look below to see how stunning everyone looked!
