The idea of taking a class picture of 14 young children can be a little daunting. I am sure you can relate to how difficult it can be to take a picture of your child, let alone 13 more, that also don't necessarily want to sit still or look at the camera! I have found that over my years of being a professional photographer there are a few tricks that seem to work wonders. On one hand I have to be firm, tell them where to sit, how to stand, what to do with their hands, and make sure they know I mean business. Yet on the other hand I get to be silly and let them have fun with it so that picture day does not become a dreaded ordeal. Today I wanted to share with you a few "out takes" from Sweetwater School 2013-2014 class picture day.
After I got everyone positioned, which went surprisingly well, it was time to get these kiddos smiling. I asked them to show me their teeth, expecting some giant toothy grins. Some of the kids took me quite literally as you can see. I am sure their dentists would be proud!
What picture day would be complete without a goofy picture? The kids just LOVE doing this; I love seeing how creative they get with their silly face.
Here is the final class picture, and its a real winner! 14 bright little faces all looking in the right direction, no blinks, no one hiding behind their friend. It was such a pleasure to capture the class this year, and create a memory that will last a lifetime!
