Summer is over and the learning season is beginning. While I know for many of you the back to school season is filled with dread of needing to find that perfect shade of their school uniform without passing out at the cost, but for me I’ve always loved the back to school shopping. The new stationary, new shoes, a fresh notebook. The first day at school filled with nerves about making new friends, while being excited or treading the new teacher, but the best part was my mom trying to take that first day back to school photo. (My mom is not talented with a camera) So whether you’re sending your kids back into the classroom, doing distance learning, a combination of the two or homeschooling, you’ll still want to embrace the tradition of a back to school picture.

Want to get some great first day of school pictures this year? Check out these great ideas for adorable back to school photos!

Front Door

The front door is an amazing location for your child’s first day at school photo. It’s such a nice simple background and I love how the door itself helps frame and give emphasis on your child.

School introductions

Watch your kid grow up is both amazing and challenging, but they don’t get to see it the way you do. Do a get to know me and save them for when they’re older, they’ll love looking back to seeing all the great ideas and memories they had.
