There will be a school photographer at the prom ready to take posed couple and group shots. These photo packages can often run you a lot of money, so get a price list from your Activities Office at school before that evening so that you will know how much money you will need to have for this. Most school photographers will take checks with proper ID or credit cards; so if you have either of these options available to you, it would be safer for you than carrying a lot of cash. You could spend anywhere from $50-$175 on prom photographs. Your parents and relatives may want copies, so calculate those needs into your prom photograph order. These photographs will probably be a keepsake for years to come.

The newest trend is buying a "high resolution" CD of the Prom photographs you select. Most studios offer this option for an additional $15 to $20.

You may also consider taking informal prom photographs of yourself and friends throughout the evening with your own camera. These prom pictures may turn out to be your favorite remembrances from your prom night.
