Prom & Ball Season: don't blow it on their pictures!

12/22/2022

Parents: it's easy to take lackluster formal pictures of your child who is headed off to prom or ball.

Here are some tips & tricks to help up your game!  

Angles

Sure you can take the shot straight on. 

​But have you tried squatting down low and shooting up?  This angle A) makes everybody look taller, and B) can highlight some fun shoe choices.

Lighting

Don't be afraid to take pictures in full direct sun. This gives your shots a bit of pop that you won't get in the shade.

It's ok to look away

People don't always have to be smiling and looking at the camera!

Personality is everything

Yes, the outfits are important for spring formals.  But emotion and personality are what will make you LOVE your pictures.

Finally, get this one.

Your daughter doesn't need a date.  Just borrow any random person's hand who happens to be in a suit and lean over in front of them to take the shot.

This will end up being one of her favorite pictures from the night.   I swear.

Want more help?

Samantha Grant Photography would love to help you memorialize your high school student's spring formal with beautiful professional pictures!  

Get in touch ASAP because I can typically only accept one to two groups on any given date due to timing restraints.
