Why you let them be BOLD on picture day | Denver School Photographer

 

Be Bold on Picture Day

Why you should let your children be bold on school picture day? School picture day comes once a year. Sometimes twice.  This is the one day where everyone dresses to the nines. This is the one day where they can shine and you can capture that. It is a great day to work on building confidence in your child. Confidence is key. Let’s grow that confidence together.

How School Pictures have Changed in the last 20 Years |Denver School Photographer

1997. Do you remember that year? Can it possibly be TWENTY years ago? Titanic sunk the box offices. Nintendo 64 sucked all of our time and Tiger Woods made everyone care about golf for a minute.

What about the fashion? Can you look back at school pictures from then and not cringe? Anyone else in full on Spice Girl mode? Guys were you trying to emulate the Backstreet Boys? Yes, we all went through a period in our fashion past that we might not be to proud of now. But guess what? What goes around comes around.

Chokers? They are back. Overalls? All the rage. And who doesn’t love a bold color to brighten up the office?

At Bloom Schools Photography we want to capture the times in a fun and fresh way. Something you can look back on and marvel more about the photography than what you were wearing. Though it is fun to laugh at what we were wearing.

Trust Bloom Schools Photography to capture timeless photos, not matter the fashion.

What NOT to Wear on School Picture Day | Denver School Photographer

School picture day can be a stressful time as a parent. When we are stressed, our kids can feel it too. An easy way to get the best out of your child during school picture day is to involve them in the decision making process and that starts with what they will wear. Here are a few ways we recommend going about choosing the perfect outfit.

1. New, unwashed clothes. We all know unwashed clothes are not comfortable. Jeans are tight, shirts are stiff. Make sure you give your child’s clothes a wash, preferability with fabric softener before school picture day. Also jeans usually are more comfortable the second day wearing them. So if you only have to spot clean a pair of just worn pants, even easier.

2. Something they’ve never seen. Sometimes surprises are good. For picky kids they are not. Especially on an important day. Make sure you talk to your kids about what they are going to wear on school picture day and set it out the night before.

3. Something that will out shine them. This can also mean something that they don’t feel comfortable in. If your child doesn’t like wearing colors, don’t make them. When your child loves their outfit, that will shine through in their photos which is what matters most. Letting their confidence shine.

4. Something they are not comfortable with. Your girl doesn’t like dresses? Don’t make her wear one. Your boy isn’t comfortable in a button up shirt. Don’t make him wear one. Getting them involved in the decision makes all the difference.
