How to Prep For Your Shoot

We all know picture day can be one of the most stressful days for you and your child. We took the liberty of outlining a few tips to help you get your child camera ready!

1. Help your child pick out clothes and colors that look good on them. After all, your child is the star of the photo—not their shirt, so avoid slogans, logos, and big patterns. Small jewelry and accessories are fine but nothing too big or distracting. Make sure to check your flyer to see sample poses for your Picture Day.

2. Shoes make an outfit! Some of our photos wont include the shoes in the picture, but for those that do we have a tip for you! If you plan on getting your child new shoes for the big days, we recommend letting your child break them in the week before their picture day. Nothing is worse than a child in pain or a child who wont put their shoes on.

3. Glasses are okay! Our highly experienced School Days photographers know all the tricks to reduce glare. If a glasses glare accidentally goes unnoticed, our editing team can work their magic in the production process.

4. Any hairstyle works for Picture Day. But remember to schedule haircuts a few weeks ahead of time just in case there is an oopsie!

5. Don’t worry about the “perfect” picture! That missing tooth or funky shirt shows your child's personality just as they are right now. In the years to come, you (and their future significant other) will enjoy seeing these honest photographs.

On Picture Day, teachers and photographers will help straighten collars, do the embarrassing mom thing with their hair, and check posture.
