Picture day prep
Simple ways to help portraits look natural.
A little preparation keeps picture day calm and helps each student look like themselves.
Outfits
Solid colors photograph best. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, neon, wrinkled clothing, and distracting text.
Hair and skin
Use a familiar hairstyle, keep makeup natural if worn, and bring a comb, wipes, or blotting paper when useful.
Rest and timing
Sleep well, eat a clean breakfast, arrive on time, and do a quick mirror check for teeth, flyaways, and posture.
Young children
Pick something comfortable, keep the morning positive, and remind kids that picture day is about being themselves.
Background choices
Classic portraits, playful backgrounds, and school-selected looks.
Schools can choose backdrops for graduation packages, and families can select available portrait backgrounds when their school order form includes that option.
