Pre-Prom Photoshoot rules
Schedule Your Time - But be sure!
For the first time in many, many years, I'm going to let PAR Senior Reps schedule their Pre-Prom Photoshoot Session. HOWEVER, Once you book a time, that's your time. You're locked in to it. The only way the schedule MIGHT be changed, is if we talk about it and can work it out in advance. If you're late to your session, I will try to fit you in, based on the schedule that day. I don't like people scheduling pre-prom times because they ARE ALWAYS LATE! ALWAYS. Hopefully, you all will break that cycle this year. Also, if you're going to more than one prom, you can do pre-prom pics for each one you're attending.
Pre-Prom sessions are 15 to 20 minutes. Most shoots will be in downtown area, the capitol building or art museum because of time restraints. Public parking garages, Renaissance, The District, and Highland Village might be options, depending on how many shoots are scheduled. I personally like the Renaissance because it's more variety of places to shoot. The District isn't bad. Highland village gives shooting options as well. But prayerfully, we'll work it all out. If you want to take pics with a car or special vehicle, that's fine, I just need to know in advance.
Reps will take solo pics and naturally with their date (if applicable). If date or friends want solo pics, they will have to buy a package. Pics will be sent to you within 24 hours of your scheduled shoot.
Tips...
- If possible, avoid doing hair AND makeup appointments on the same day unless it's being done in house or someone who only has you as a client.
- Try your clothes and shoes on, the night before. Do a dress rehearsal. This will give you the chance to see what you need to do to for your dress or tuxedo to fit perfectly.
- SHOOT EARLY in the day.... Sometimes an earlier time can get your more time for your shoot and you might get to choose your location.
- If shoes hurt, bring slides or slippers.
- Have a portable phone charger with you all night.
- Pay attention to surroundings and always know where you are.
- If you're pulled over by the police, "Yes Sir, No Sir, Yes Ma'am, No Ma'am." Don't give them a reason to stereotype you. The goal is to get home.
Most IMPORTANT
Have fun, but please be safe. Keep money, debit cards, in a secure place, but quickly accessible. If possible, use "Tap" most of the night to pay for things. If you find yourself in a compromised or fearful situation, call your parents/guardians or someone you trust, but if you're too scared to call parents, text me or call me... 601-790-0361. No judgement, The goal is to get you home safely.
Prom Season has begun!
Pre-Prom is a totally different link to book, than your normal photoshoots. Use this only for pre-prom. See you soon.
****April 5th, has at least 8 schools with a prom that day. So if you're prom is on the 5th, you can't book it yet. I'm working out the times with my guys from TEAM PAR. It will probably be me and 2 guys from the team shooting pre-prom that day. April 5th should be ready to book this Sunday. All the other dates are good to go, but remember, once you got it, you go it.
