Picture Day!

It's Picture Day today!  Seems like almost the exact same setup as when we were kids -- I saw the backdrop and lights set up in the school's tiny auditorium.  Except there are added bells & whistles, according to the order form.  I guess by the power of Photoshop, you can choose among a plethora of backdrops to be added in later. Some are reasonable -- a school library, a classroom setting.  Some are odd -- do you want your kid's school photo to look like it was taken at the beach? In a forest?  And they also offer retouching.  Retouching of Boylee's precious face?  I wouldn't do it, but hopefully they will take the photos before snack time, or else we'll get an un-retouched look at snack leftovers around his mouth.

When I worked at a school, private photographer sometimes used our kids (they shot for school workbooks). They always came first thing in the morning, while people were still fairly clean!
Looking forward to seeing the pix.
