What to wear for school photos | Calgary family photographers

What to wear at Picture Day

Next week my daughter has her Picture Day at school. What to wear? is always the question, right?!

Despite the fact that I’m a photographer, I always like to buy school photos cause I think it’s fun to look back on the changes from year to year.

Plus, the photos tend to be hilarious, which I figure will come in handy for future laughs.

Wondering what your child should wear on their photo/picture day?

I’ve put together a couple quick tips for you below.

Let the kid(s) pick!

  • Kids tend to be more confident and excited on Picture Day when they have a choice in what they’re wearing.
  • When children help pick their outfits, it ensures that images are a true reflection of their unique personality.

Go for comfort!

  • Everyone smiles more when they’re comfortable, which results in better photos!
  • If kids are wearing stiff or scratchy clothes, they’ll likely spend their photo day thinking about getting out of them.

Avoid logos & cartoons

  • Keep it simple with a plain colour or simple pattern. Logos and/or cartoons on shirts can distract us from focusing on the star of Photo Day – your child!
  • Keep in mind that school photos are typically cropped in to focus on faces – so images on tops tend to get cut off anyway (unless it’s a pattern.)

 

I hope these quick tips have helped you and your kid(s) to make their Picture Day choice! Now have fun with the hair!

Wanna know a secret? I never set out to be an entrepreneur.

 

In fact, I didn't even consider that, one day, I would run my own business. I just knew that I had a gift and wanted to use it to help others.

 

Who knew that I'd actually end up helping other like-minded creative women with their business and branding photos?!
