Truckee High School Fashion Show (6 photos)

Volunteering my services as a photographer is something that I like to do on occasion. It's a great way to give back to my local community that has been supportive of me and my family over the years. I also like to donate prints to local charities when they are having events with silent auctions to raise funds. Does any of it actually bring business to me? Probably not, but I still feel it's an important thing to do.

I shot these photos last weekend for the Truckee High School Senior Fashion Show. It was a fundraiser for Project Sober Grad, basically it raised money to help throw a big sober party for the seniors when they graduate soon. My son Kane (Hive account@enak) is a senior at the high school, he was not in the fashion show because he was busy volunteering his time filming the event. His post about the event with a couple of photos can be seen HERE.

For the fashion show, local clothing stores let the kids borrow outfits to wear on stage. This is "Truckee fashion" so if you like any of it, you'll have to do some shopping in town the next time you take a vacation to the Lake Tahoe area...

I was in the "green room" for the event, photographing the kids right before they went on stage. Unfortunately that meant I didn't get to see the show or get any catwalk photos but fortunately, Kane got a ton of video footage and I'll be able to see that soon...

These are a few of my favorite images from the evening. I believe the kids had a ton of fun, I know I enjoyed photographing their silly antics. They were all happy to get their photos taken and they all came up with the poses on their own.

One cool thing about living in a small town is that I have known many of these kids since they were in diapers, lol. I've also coached some of them on baseball and soccer teams when they were younger. It's going to be a bit sad not seeing them anymore as they graduate and move off to college or on with their adult lives, but I am happy for them and I wish them all the best of luck and success with their future!

What do you think of Truckee fashion? Do you see any outfits you'd wear?

Thank you for looking and reading!
