Tips to Make the Most of Student Smiles
-October 7, 2009-Comments (0)
Fall is here and usually that means time for school pictures! School picture day may last only a few minutes for most individual students, but the outcome can haunt them for a lifetime. Bad haircuts, clothing, or poses can become the stuff of family legend. However, it doesn’t have to end that way. SchoolPictures.com, an authority on taking classic student portraits, is sharing some advice this year with parents, students, and teachers to hopefully best prepare them for this rite of passage.
Mark your calendar! You do not want to forget the date of your student’s pictures.- A well-groomed child is the best start for a perfect photo.
- Do not try out any new haircuts, styles, or colors within two weeks before photos.
- Avoid wearing stripes or loud prints on clothing. Solid colors are a sure bet.
- Avoid clothes with printed slogans. They often get cropped out of the photo.
- A good night’s sleep keeps under-eye circles at bay.
- Select small accessories that don’t detract from the focus on your student.
- A spot of eye drop solution can help reduce eye redness.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure for a few days prior to picture day.
- Good posture will ensure kids look alert and at their best.
- Tell students to relax and let their own smile and personality come through!
