Tips for how parents can get better back to School Pictures from the leading local portrait stud

With back to school quickly approaching, parents have a lot on their plate to ensure kids are ready between supplies, outfits, backpacks snacks. Inevitably school pictures are within those first few weeks of school but the leading local portrait studio, Ivory Tree Portraits has a few tips to help make parents lives easier.

Top Three Tips for better back to school pictures:

  1. Ensure they are confident in their outfit
    1. While you might love the look, if they aren’t feeling it – they will ensure you know in the picture!
  2. Send them with hair that will last the morning
    • While this is especially relevant for younger kids, it absolutely also applies for teens. Ensure the hair style you select will last through the morning. If your kid’s hair is unruly, opt for a pulled-up look, barrette or headband.
  3. Know Your Kid
    • Really know your kid! If they are shy or silly, the images are going to reflect that. The goal of a great portrait is to capture your kids real personality. We recommend embracing that. Don’t send your kid off with specific instructions like, don’t smile with your teeth or show your good side. Rather, send them off with a shine bright! It will boost their confidence (something important to our studio).

Why Ivory Tree is an expert:
