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.

    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!

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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,

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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.

    Lovely shots of lovely young ladies!

  16. 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.
