Here are some tips to prepare for great photos:
School Photography Portrait Tips
- Your clothing should be clean and looking its best.
- 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
