Prom Pictures - Best Way To Traffic It


Looks like I'll be doing photos for a "Sparkle N Shine" dance at a school this Saturday. These are similar to "prom" pictures and I have two ladies that will be helping me: One will be taking care of the money and people who come in and the other will be posing the kids for their photos and making sure that they look nice, hair is in place, etc. so I just need to focus on taking the photos.

My question is what is the best way to traffic this?? The kids will be coming in and will pay up front. Should I have a couple of clipboards so they can "sign in", have the gal mark them paid with their names, who will be in the photo, etc. what package they want and then give the clipboard to me so I can mark what images go with what kid? I am trying to figure out the easiest way to make this go smoothly as this will be my FIRST "pro" shoot doing something like this. I normally do on-location portrait photography.

Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

  Afterwards you may have a helluva time combining the right photos with the right people. Would it be an option to photograph them with a card with their name on it in a corner of the frame that you cut off later in PP?

And of course you'll make the patrons Sparkle 'n Shine, won't you?
