Prom night is a milestone event that teens look forward to for months—sometimes years! It’s a celebration of friendship, style, and the transition to a new chapter in their lives. But before the big night begins, there’s an often-overlooked opportunity to capture some truly magical moments: the pre-prom photoshoot. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a group of high school students at a beautiful backyard home in Saratoga, California, and I’m here to share why these pre-prom sessions are so special and offer some insights for future clients looking to create lasting memories.
