Picture Day

Style Tips

  • Whether it’s their favorite sweater or something a little dressy, choose an outfit that makes your child feel confident and comfortable — it’ll show in their smile!

  • Solid colors or subtle patterns work best on camera. Avoid logos, neon, or super busy prints — they can distract from that cute face you’re trying to capture!

  • Photos are usually cropped at the waist, so focus on the top half: clean collars, neat hair, and layers that aren’t too bulky or distracting.

  • Try to avoid clothes with logos or characters which may distract from your child’s face. Stick with clean, classic, styles for a timeless look.

  • If your child wears glasses, they can absolutely wear them in their photo. Our photographers are trained to work with glasses, and any glare will be taken care of — no need to stress!

  • If your child is graduating, we will begin by taking portraits in the outfit they arrive in, followed by photos in their cap and gown.

    When planning hairstyles, please keep in mind that graduation caps need to sit securely on the head. Styles such as pigtails or large bows placed on the crown can make it difficult for the cap to fit properly. Simple styles that lay flatter—like low ponytails, braids, or hair worn down—tend to work best and photograph great both with and without the cap.
