For those that do Prom pictures, do you have any suggestions?

I've been contacted by two separate seniors about doing prom pictures, which isn't something I have given much thought to. But now that I am focusing more on senior portraits, I guess it makes sense.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I wont be at the school, so I guess the pictures will be done on another day or before the prom, probably the day of the prom because they wont want to get their hair done twice.

I did offer a referral reward if they can get other people to make an appointment for the same day, I figure if I am going to travel to do pictures at a park near the school, may as well make it worth my time by doing additional pictures.

Im guessing the poses will be similar to couples portraits and maybe a few senior portrait style shots that works with two people.

Hmm... not what I thought by the title.

I've done Prom pictures over here in the UK and to do this I've set up at the event with studio lights and background and shot everyone at the prom - sell prints there and then and print on Dye-Sub at 9x6.

Can work out to be very profitable if your workflow is up to scratch.

the school prob already has a hired photographer at the school, so they probably would not let me be there as well to do pictures.

I asked this on another forum as well and one person there is going to the local lake where the prom people usually go before the prom and do pictures there.
