The night you got
dressed up.

Polished portraits with real send-off energy. Guided posing so nobody has to work out what to do with their hands, a private proof gallery you choose from, and fast previews on select sessions.

05The Process

Six steps,
start to finish.

01
Choose
  • Pick the session that matches your night. Mini, Classic and Signature book directly; Group and Luxury start as a request.
02
Reserve
  • A signed agreement and a 50% retainer hold the date. The balance is due seven days before. A parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18.
03
Plan
  • You complete a short intake form. We confirm the meeting point, parking and the weather plan 24 to 48 hours out.
04
Shoot
  • Guided the whole way. Arrive on time — late arrival shortens the session rather than extending the reservation.
05
Proof
  • Your private proof gallery arrives within seven business days. You have seven days to choose your favorites.
06
Finish
  • Signature-retouched finals arrive within five business days of your selections, ready to download and share.
06Questions

Before you
book.

Do I get all the photos?
  • You receive a curated proof gallery of the strongest frames and choose the stated number for signature retouching. We do not deliver rejected frames, duplicates or camera files — the finished images are the deliverable.
Can my family be in the photos?
  • Classic and Signature include a brief family send-off portion. A full party with extended candids is event coverage, and we would rather route you there than stretch a portrait session over it.
I am under 18. What do my parents need to do?
  • A parent or legal guardian signs the agreement and any release, and we collect their contact details on the intake form.
How do group bookings work?
  • One organizer books, signs, pays and receives everything. We do not split invoices or hold separate agreements with individual participants. The 25 retouched images are shared across the group, not 25 each.
What if it rains?
  • Outdoor sessions need an approved backup or a reschedule. We decide whether conditions are safe for the group and the equipment, and your agreement covers cancellation and rescheduling.
We are running late. What happens?
  • The session ends at its scheduled time. Transportation, hair, makeup and wardrobe delays shorten the shoot rather than extending the reservation, so build in a buffer.
Can we shoot in a studio?
  • Studio is a custom upgrade rather than a prom package. Ask and we will quote the rental, coordination and timing through the Studio Session Request.
Can we add video?
  • A behind-the-scenes reel or a polished social reel can be added to longer sessions by request. We will not sell one where filming would compromise the photography you are paying for — that becomes a second shooter, quoted separately.
Homecoming, military ball, cotillion?
  • Same ladder. If the length, the group size and the scope match one of these sessions, book it.
