Tips to Make the Most of Student Smiles



SCHOOLPICTURES.COM OFFERS HELPFUL TIPS TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR ANNUAL PICTURE DAY
 
SchoolPictures.com (www.SchoolPictures.com), a provider of stress-free school picture days that generate thousands of dollars for schools, has offered the following “Tips To Make the Most of Student Smiles,” a helpful guide for students, parents and teachers for their annual portraits. Reporters and editors are welcome to reprint these tips in full or to use them as a basis for a seasonal article or broadcast segment. Press are encouraged to invite readers and viewers to post on the outlet’s Web site their own tips, or alternatively their humorous “school picture day horror stories,” to create an interactive component to the feature.
 
1.    Mark your calendar! You do not want to forget the date of your student’s pictures.
2.    A well-groomed child is the best start for a perfect photo.
3.    Do not try out any new haircuts, styles or colors within two weeks before photos.
4.    Avoid wearing stripes or loud prints on clothing. Solid colors are a sure bet.
5.    Avoid clothes with printed slogans. They often get cropped out of the photo.
6.    A good night’s sleep keeps under-eye circles at bay.
7.    Select small accessories that don’t detract from the focus on your student.
8.    A spot of eye drop solution can help reduce redness of facial blemishes.
9.    Avoid excessive sun exposure for a few days prior to picture day.
10.  Good posture will ensure kids look alert and at their best.
11.  Tell students to relax and let their own smile and personality come through!
