This magazine has been something I have wanted to create for years. I can't tell you how happy I am to see it coming to life. The Prom Shoppe has always worked hard to provide girls the ultimate prom dress experience, and Enchant is part of that. This year we have added some top designers to our already extensive line up and I am pleased to announce we will see almost 2,000 unique prom dresses come through our store this year. Crowns & Gowns 2016 is going to be even bigger and better than last year, so be sure to check out all the information inside. Finally, thank you everyone! All our amazing customers, designers and friends - I can't thank you enough for being apart of our Prom Shoppe family. And a final thank you to the girls that have worked for me, dedicating their time to our mission and helping grow a successful business.
The Prom Shoppe Promise We promise not to sell the same dress to the same school, even in a different color. Your dress should be unique to you.

A MOMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Thank You Amy! Meet our photographer Amy Minshull with A Moment Photography. Be sure to check out AMP!
The kind that catch your eye and make you want to study every tiny pixel. And when you think you've seen it all, you have to look back just once more to make sure you didn't miss anything. Those are the kinds of photos I strive to take every single day at A Moment Photography. Photos that are engaging, compelling and worthy of displaying proudly.
DID YOU KNOW?
Hi there! My name is Amy Minshull and I'm what you may refer to as a bit of a photography fiend. Some call my love of photography an obsession; I call it a passion. Either way, one thing's for certain: I love taking pictures! Better yet, I love taking pictures of people. Landscapes are cool, but there's something about engaging with real life humans that takes my job to the next level of fun. I've always believed that the best photos are those that are hard to look away from. ENCHANT | 3
Amy is also our photographer for the Prom Girl 2016 Photo Shoot? Find all the info on page 23 for a chance to work with her!

Meet Kara K.
Ravenna, NE High School Senior Just crowned Miss Harvest Moon Festival Active in Color Guard and Band Kara's Fun Fact: I have been involved in 4H for 10 years! I was chosen to model one of my outfits I created at Omaha Fashion Week. I love high heels, if I could wear them all the time I would. Although I love doing girly things, I also enjoy hunting with my dad and shooting on the trap team with my friends.
Kara's Experience as Prom Girl 2015
Being the 2015 Prom Girl was probably one of the best experiences I have ever had. When I first found out I was so surprised and excited! I loved trying on all of the different dresses. It felt like I tried on just about every single one! The photoshoot was so much fun, even though I had to be squeezed into a dress and walked through the snow in super tall heels! I absolutely loved the dresses that I got to wear and I love the pictures. My favorite part of the whole experience had to be the fashion show; even though it was so crazy! All of the dresses were amazing! It was so much fun to get to be around all of the Miss Nebraska girls and it even inspired me to start competing in pageants this year. Last year at Crowns & Gowns I had a blast and I can’t wait to be coming back this year as an Ambassador!
