<\/a>Take some photos the day before school starts. Let the kids get comfortable with their new uniform, bag and shoes. Top Tip<\/strong>: create a customized keychain<\/a> <\/a>to personalize their school bag, or just to hold their house keys! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Include playful props, e.g. a red apple, a pile of books, large fake glasses, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have your child sit next to their big, new school bag. Take the photo from an angle where the school bag is closer to your lens. This will make your child appear tiny (and too cute) in comparison!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have your child hold a sign or use an app to add a speech bubble containing a message, such as “Don’t cry, Mom!” Top Tip<\/strong>: you can add embellishments to our collage photo prints<\/a> <\/a>to make creativity even easier! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Capture a poignant image from behind as your child walks out your front door or is about to enter their school’s front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get the kids to hold a book or chalkboard with the first day of school and the year written on it. You can also use editing apps to write the date, school etc. at a later time. You can take a similar photo six or even twelve months later to compare and see how much they’ve changed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Capture your child with plenty of space left beside them in the frame. Later, list your child\u2019s interests, hobbies, favorite things etc. in the empty space using editing apps or Snapfish embellishments. Top Tip<\/strong>: You can also store those little trinkets they make in a custom keepsake box<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n A side-by-side showing a shot from the start of semester and then at the end of semester can be pretty priceless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the first day of senior year, get your child to hold a large photo of themselves as a child on their first day of grade school or high school. Get the tissues ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, bear in mind that you could always tell your own back-to-school story with these adorable photos in a stunning Snapfish photo book<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We love seeing what you come up with!
