TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL PICTURE DAY
This will be our 8th year photographing your children at Sandburg Elementary!
We always strive to engage with your children and give them something to smile about while capturing their priceless memories of the school year, but please understand isn’t always easy to capture their natural smile and expression in those brief seconds we have with each child!
We also try and ensure their hair and clothes are in place and that there’s no food or permanent marker on their faces! That being said, there are a few things that you parents, can do to help them prepare for this big day so it can be a fun, stress-free experience. Here they are:
- Beauty sleep - That is a big deal for kids of all ages. A full night's sleep is a must to have them feeling rested, energized and looking fresh for their portrait on picture day!
- Comfortable outfit - To have your child look great on picure day, choose something he or she feels confident in, comfortable and is clean and low maintenance.
- Hair - Have your child get a haircut or style his/her hair before picture day. Remember to keep it simple because at times, intricate hair styles and accessories might get messed up during recess.
- Imperfections are good - Whether it's the forced grin or a stubborn lock of hair out of place, embrace the experience as a way to document your child at this special age. School pictures are treasures that show how much kids have grown over the years, and looking back, the imperfections will be what you'll love the most!
