Picture Day Is Scheduled for October 26 & 27 for Myrtle H Stevens Elementary School

Me with my dog Belle and cat Charlie in our new studio.

Hello Families!

I am looking forward to coming back and photographing the children of MHSES and seeing all those smiling faces.

With picture day coming up I wanted to share a tip to make getting ready easier for you.

Try to have all your clothes laid out the night before so you are not rushing the morning of pictures. Let your child know that picture day is going to be a fun day and you can't wait to see their pictures. If you can share a fun story of when you where younger and had your pictures taken at school. In fact now is a great time to pull out and share your school portrait photos with your child.

I hope you found these tips helpful, have a great day and let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Thanks - Charleen

What To Wear

On Picture Day

Stick With Solids:

Patterns can take the focus of the viewer away from the face, and may make the portrait look too busy. A solid color shirt works best, avoid large floral prints, stripes or plaids.

Choosing Bright Colors:

Children appear happy and vibrant in bright colors. When dressing a young student for picture day, bright colors enhance the child's jovial appearance. Choose a solid, bright-colored shirt in the child's favorite hue. This also will help instill confidence in a student who might feel apprehensive about picture day. Avoid dressing the student in a shirt with a distracting pattern or logo.

Clothing Colors to Avoid

Leave any flesh-toned tops in the closet -- even if they are favorites. Fair-skinned students should avoid shades of peach, pastel yellow, beige and white. Students with dark skin tones should avoid black, dark browns and navy blue. Olive-skinned students should avoid green and gold hues. Other colors to avoid include neon shades of any color and reflective fabrics such as shiny silver or gold silk.
