Have your child shower or at least wash his or her hair that morning. Showering the night before will leave your child with bed head that may look silly on school picture day.
Don't practice smiles in the mirror with your child. Allow your child to have a relaxed, natural smile. Practicing smiles may cause your child's school pictures to look cheesy.
If your child is a girl it is important to keep her shoulders covered for school pictures. Thin straps should be avoided as they will become loose and may hang off her shoulder.
It is important to find out what the background of your child's school picture is going to be. It is then important to pick an outfit that will not clash or blend in too much with the background.
Avoid crazy hairstyles that may cause your child to look too different than he or she usually does. Comb your son's hair downward instead of giving him a wild mohawk. For your daughter, have her wear her hair down or in a simple ponytail or braid.
