School portraits are traditional keepsakes that mark the passage of time, and chronicle our family histories.
From individual photos to class portraits, the emotional and historic value is evident across the generations.
What To Expect On Photo Day
* The class will come as a group to the photo station outside *
* Students will be photographed in a variety of poses and expressions *
* Smiles and laughs will be encouraged, but are never forced *
* Students will be asked if they would like a silly photo, and they may then create their own silly pose *
* The class will return to regular activities as a group *
What To Wear
* Choose solid colours or patterns that compliment your child and make them feel great *
* We will be outdoors - green clothes may create camouflage *
* Neon can reflect on the skin and is best avoided *
* Keep comfort in mind for both movement and temperature *
* Hats and hoods tend to block the face *
* Transition lenses will look like sunglasses outdoors - contact your photographer in advance for options *
Grooming Tips
* Choose a hair style that both you and your child love *
* Choose clothing that doesn't easily wrinkle through the day *
* Check for pet hair, food crumbs, or stains on clothing *
* Send hair supplies to school with your child if quick touch-ups will be needed *
* Have a conversation with your student ahead of time regarding personal grooming *
* Your photographer will not be fixing hair, cleaning food from faces, etc *
Photo Day Checklist For Students
* Brush and floss your teeth *
* Use the mirror and wipes at the photo station to check your face for food, dirt, and other muck *
