And Jacob--you know how much I enjoy antagonizing you!

Well, Jessica--art is meant to evoke emotion, so I guess you did that!

I just don't see anything wrong with it. And I have been teaching HS students since 1998, so I guess I see the changing of the times and trends first-hand. Although I don't teach full-time anymore, I am still at the HS where I used to teach 10 hours a week, directing theatrical productions and coaching the speech and debate team.

ALL of our HS senior girls bring in some sexier clothing. It doesn't bother me. It's all in the way you pose and light them and I think Jessica went with a good route on this image.

We all know that kids have changed a great deal over the years, but I just don't see the harm in this image. I love the swirls of pink satin--it looks like a mix of glam and princess to me.

One person's art is another person's porn, I guess--HA!

It would be a ton of cleavage if she were old enough t have boobs! Lol! But it's not just the cut of the dress, lying down, hair spread out, arm over her head on pink satin has a Valentine's/Boudoir feel to it. It's been 20 years since I was in high school and I know things have changed, but I still limit my sexually suggestive photos to over 18... In fact, they are usually over 21. And this shot is very sexually suggestive. I'm this print isn't on the refrigerator at her grandparent's home.

Oh, I was just trying to get Jacob fired up--LOL!

I love this image--we do this pose quite a bit, too, when our HS Seniors bring a great dress that will work for it.

Now, if she had a more sensual look on her face OR if there was a ton of cleavage, it would change the dynamic of the image. I think it has a great glam look without going too far.

That's a pose I do all the time with senior girls. It's not meant to be risque, but I can see how it might be since her prom dress is a low V cut.

I'll admit, the first thing my eyes focus on in this pic are her breasts - and NOOOO, it's not because I'm a guy : )

I'm guessing he means a little too risque/"bedroomie" for a high school senior pic .... But I still love your work Jessica!
