Picture Day Tips
The perfectpicture
Take your best picture every time with our Picture Day Tips. All students want to look their best in school pictures. Follow these tips and leave the rest to our experienced photographers.
Clothing
Wear solid colors. Neutral colors are a safe bet for Fall; add a pop of color in the Spring.
Pick out the outfit a few days before picture day and coordinate it from head to toe.
Your child is the star of the photo, so avoid large logos and patterns.
Keep accessories simple. Earrings, necklaces and hair adornments that won’t distract.
Grooming
If hair needs a trim, have it done the week before to avoid the “just cut” look.
Make sure you like the hairstyle before picture day.
Use regular makeup. There’s no need for a heavy application.
Retouching options cover blemishes, scrapes and teeth whitening.
