Taking the Obligatory Back-to-School Photos

9/6/2016

“It’s the most..wonderful time...of the year!”  I always love that Staples commercial, even if I don’t agree with the sentiment!  (I wish summer holidays would never end!)  However they are going back and for us in Wokingham tomorrow is the day!


Same Time, Same Place


If you can, take a photo in the same place each year.  This could be by your front door (very popular), under a favourite tree, or the end of the driveway.  When you look back you can really see how much your child has grown and changed each year!


Try a Shot from a Different Angle

Most portraits are taken at eye level, but another flattering angle to try is from above.  This emphasizes their smallness and (we should be so lucky!) if the sun is out you’ll capture some lovely catch lights in their eyes.

Talk to Them

If your kids are anything like mine, they are not exactly co-operative when it comes to natural smiles for photos.  So try to make them laugh!  Pretend you’re an OTT fashion photographer, think Austin Powers - “Yeah baby!”  Or come up with your own silly ideas!  Also if they are at all nervous about going to school this may help them relax. 

Take a Close Up

Focus on their eyes, you’ll see how much their features change as they get older each year.

That’s it!  Good luck to all the kidlets, hope you have a fantastic year!
