Tips for taking photos of the First Day of School
1. Plan ahead! Make sure to schedule some time so you can slow down and be fully present on their first day. The night before, let your child choose and lay out their clothes so they aren't rushed in the morning. Also, coordinate your clothes so you can jump in on a few pictures as well. Make sure your camera is charged and has plenty of space for new pictures!
2. Park the car and take a walk. Show the outside of the school, and just how small this little guy was as he took his first walk into the school. This will be a fun memory to look back on when they grow bigger and graduate to middle school!
3. Bring fun props! You may need to bring a few supplies anyway, but a fun chalkboard with "1st grade" or "Kindergarten" could be a great way to document and will make for lively pictures in your scrapbook. Be creative and have fun with it! They have great props at Hobby Lobby, Michael's and your local HEB!
4. Get down to their level. A tip from a photographer is to always bring the camera down to their eye level so you can capture that sparkle in their eye. Plus, it makes them more comfortable so they can give you the real smile, and not the cheesy one.
