Every September I snap the kids school photos and we finally got around to taking this years photos over the weekend. I always look forward to taking these photos of the kids. Documenting how much they grow and change from year to year is what it’s all about – no fancy backgrounds or elaborate poses required. I like to find a nice shaded area with pretty trees to use as a neutral backdrop. This year I brought a little chalkboard along on our photoshoot for the kids to write their names on and it was a lot of fun! I can’t wait to do this every year!
Our back-to-school photoshoots don’t last long, maybe a half an hour or so. I snap a few quick individual photo of the kids along with a group shot – cause you know, if they’re all dressed up and their faces are clean we might as well! 😉
This is just a quick peek at this years school photos – I can’t wait to get the rest edited and swap out last years photos with new ones in our living room frames!
