This year’s 2025 Benton Prom Mini Sessions were filled with confident teenagers, proud parents, and some absolutely stunning outfits that truly took my breath away. I think that's one of my favorite parts of photographing these teenagers. They are stunning. The backdrop of the Mitchell House at Cedarhurst made it unforgettable.
