I LOVE taking back-to-school pictures on the first day of school. It’s a great way to capture how they grow year after year.
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…
You can even get artistic with the pictures – this doesn’t show her face, but shows the grade and her backpack and shoes:
Bright colors make a fun background. This is just made from paper strips. I love the fun jumping for some action:
So grab that camera and go take some pictures!!!
Love your pictures and ideas. Your kids are so cute, they could be Back to School models!

You have some pretty cute models here! I’ve never done back to school pics. Great idea!
Always love your back to school shoots, you have such fun ideas!
I love the silly faces! My back-to-school photos are always so boring! 🙂
