Photography Tips: Back-to-School

This might be too late for some of you, but you can always redo the first day pictures - why not!
 
A couple of heads-up for taking back-to-school pictures.  I'm sure you'll take the usual line-up, but try mixing it up a little with a "alright, now, everyone make a CRAZY face" type of picture:
And I don't know where I got this idea, but each year I take individual pictures of the kids next to a sign that states their year in school - that way looking back I won't get confused...
Notice the weird face on my son in the picture above - he said after I took a few "hey mom, didn't I look like an evil scientist in those?" - yes, yes you did, thanks.  Here he was back in his smile-cute-for-the-camera days:

  9. Well, that just shows his personality, doesn't it? I love the sign idea. With 3 kids under the age of 4, I'll need help to keep them all straight!

    Thank you for linking up to my Friday link party! I hope to see you back next week!

  13. Cute kids and clever photos! I wish I'd done the pic with school year sign, over the years with four kids it's hard to remember what is what. Tho pulling out all the school pics when the kids are home and listening to the discussion/arguments/joking/memories is alot of fun.
