School Photography Portrait Tips

Your clothing should be clean and looking its best. School uniforms should be as they are required on a full uniform day.

Bright, solid colors photograph best.  Small patterns are fine, bigger patterns distract from your child’s face.  Wearing long sleeves allows your face to stand out as well.

Avoid getting a haircut the night before picture day; a week before will get you the best results.

Hats are fine, but the school requires a headshot without the hat.  Bring the hat with you (do not wear it first) and you will be photographed with the hat after.

Eye glasses are fine – we make adjustments to lighting and posing.

Don’t worry about blemishes – we can take care of those with our Retouching services.

Avoid clothing with slogans, as cropping will not always accommodate this.

Photo Day Preparation

Parents, before your kids leave for school on Photo Day, please remember to help them look their best.

On Photo Day make sure you check your clothes and hair before you arrive to the camera.

Have good posture for your photo.

Wear your best colors so you feel your best.

Remember to have a natural smile and relax so that you can get a memorable photo you will like and your parents will treasure.
