Retake Please
We recently got back the kids’ school pictures. Not sure what happened this year. It looks like the Little Princess forgot how to smile. I hope the retake photo is much better. Is it too late for a refund?

Clicked over expecting something hideous and didn’t get it. Your kids are just too cute.

They may be cute, but they are still monsters.
Look how much she has grown! She looks just like her Mommy Forever!
School pictures are always less than average to me.I guess it is the massive number of photos they have to do in one day. But she still is beautiful!

I agree. It’s not easy getting good school pictures when the photographers has to shoot as fast as they can. And yes, she does look so much older this year.
And how come I can take 5,000 digital pictures and get them all printed for like , $10, and school pics - for the same pose and a little blurred and cheapy-cheapy- are $37? It’s a racket! Did I spell that correctly?

It’s kinda of a scam when you consider you have to pay for them before you see the pictures. We rather just order the class picture and take individual photos of our kids with our digital camera. But you can’t get the class photo unless you pay for a package.
She’s just getting older. My son’s third grade photo didn’t turn out that great either, but this year’s was better. Something about third grade. It’s a tough year.
We have not received the class picture yet, but I wonder if the class picture will be full of kids looking like they forgot how to smile.
Ironic, I sent my daughter’s back this year too and would have done with my son except he didn’t want to retake his and I figured best to leave well enough alone with him. But my daughter is so great in photos I was surprised. I too hope retakes are better! Weird that both our girls would have retakes this year, it’s our first time for it.
Hugs,
Holly

Our girl didn’t want her picture taken again either, but we made her. I hope she didn’t frown in the retake to teach us a lesson.
I think you took better shots yourself.

Too bad parents can’t take pictures during school pictures day.
Hey Dad, she’s trying to look ‘cool’ is all!

Looks more like, “Right, dad, that’s very funny.”
the photographers totally rush the kids. it’s crazy. You should get pictures done on your own. although i have to admit that the kids will hate it when they see they’re pic in the yearbook. Usually.

I do take pictures at home, but it’s nice to get the class picture too.
Looks like she maybe learned how to do a cool sneer rather than forgot how to smile. This is a good thing in a way — she’s broadening her repertoire, and this could come in handy if she ever goes into acting.

Maybe next year she can go for the Goth look.
Dude,
A great example of how they grow up so fast. Enjoy the “monsters” while you can. Soon they’ll be making your life hell in other ways. Just read my blog for your future…

I’m guessing everything will eventually be smooth sailing - just like your life.
On the morning of picture day at our house I took the kids outside the house in their nice clothes and took some pictures. We like them a lot better than the ones taken at school.

Over here, it’s too cold in the morning for outdoor pictures. We could take the pictures inside, but the photos would have a Halloween theme.
It bothers me that most school photographers are so not into it these days. It’s big business, and these companies often hire low-paid, unskilled people who just don’t know how to get kids to respond to the lens.
Where does all the money go? Profit. Their margins are HUGE, especially now that they use digital.
Found your blog via WW…and I love what I see. Cool to see other dads who write and share the important stuff in their family’s lives. I look forward to reading more.

I don’t see why they can’t take multiple shots and have us order online or something. Paying before you see the photos is not exactly customer-oriented.
I like the long hair! She is pretty young girl:)
Read Yen´s recent blog post..Wordless Wednesday
She likes her hair long too. We use to cut it short, but she won’t let us cut her hair anymore. Just a trim from time to time.
Great school pictures. She still has a pretty face, it doesn’t matter if she smiles or not :)

She’s usually photogenic. Not sure what she why she was smiling in her school picture.
Lovely shots of lovely young ladies!
My lil guy just had his own retakes done. Cannot wait to get them back.
She is a lovely little girl! And I kinda think the pic with the half smile is totally charming. You can read her mood. That I adore.
Happy WW!

The photographer probably told her to say something weird and so that is her “what in the world?” face.
She’s very pretty regardless.

what an adorable child. only pictures can tell the difference to you, i bet. i look at my son and he doesn’t look like he’s grown:)
Happy WW! Have you ever seen Hummingbird Babies?
Well…at least her eyes are open…there is nothing worse then the school year eye closed photo…LMAO..
How about a photo with a black eye?
She’s just got that Billy Idol sneer going. She’s hip! Wait, is Billy Idol still hip?
She’s a cutie either way.
