She's just got that Billy Idol sneer going. She's hip! Wait, is Billy Idol still hip? She's a cutie either way. Read Leslie´s recent blog post..Annoyance: A Familiy Tradition

The photographer probably told her to say something weird and so that is her "what in the world?" face. She's very pretty regardless. Read Debbie´s recent blog post..Wordless Wednesday - You Write the Captions

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! Read SuburbanGypsy´s recent blog post..How Bats, Green Beans and Gas = GROSS

She’s usually photogenic. Not sure what she why she was smiling in her school picture.

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.

Daddy Forever — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 07:09:33 +0000

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.

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. Read Carmi´s recent blog post..Wordless Wednesday - Bricked

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.

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. Read Mark´s recent blog post..Game on

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. Read Bodhi´s recent blog post..Jonesing towards enlightenment

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. Read yoshi´s recent blog post..Think of the solution, not the problem

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.

By: Daddy Forever

Daddy Forever — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:45:23 +0000

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.

By: Daddy Forever

Daddy Forever — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:43:26 +0000

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.

By: Daddy Forever

Daddy Forever — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:41:44 +0000

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.

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.

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.

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? Read jen´s recent blog post..Go Somewhere New
