<\/a>Take some photos the day before school starts. Let the kids get comfortable with their new uniform, bag and shoes. Top Tip<\/strong>: create a customised key ring<\/a> to personalise their school bag, or just to hold their house keys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Include playful props, e.g. a red apple, a pile of books, large fake glasses, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have your child sit next to their big, new school bag. Take the photo from an angle where the school bag is closer to your lens. This will make your child appear tiny (and too cute) in comparison!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have your child hold a sign or use an app to add a speech bubble containing a message, such as “Don’t cry, Mum!” Top Tip<\/strong>: you can add embellishments to our collage photo prints <\/a>to make creativity even easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask your child to make an exasperated, mopey face. Use the timer function on your camera\/phone to allow you time to photo bomb your own child with an expression of pure excitement. The timer function of the most recent iOS updates can capture up to ten photos at once in timer mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Capture a poignant image from behind as your child walks out your front door or is about to enter their school’s front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get the kids to hold a book or chalkboard with the first day of school and the year written on it. You can also use editing apps to write the date, school etc. at a later time. You can take a similar photo six or even twelve months later to compare and see how much they’ve changed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Capture your child with plenty of space left beside them in the frame. Later, list your child\u2019s interests, hobbies, favourite things etc. in the empty space using editing apps or Snapfish embellishments. Top Tip<\/strong>: You can also store those little trinkets they make in a personalised photo tin<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n A side-by-side showing a shot from the start of term and then at the end of term can be pretty priceless! Top Tip<\/strong>: These before and after images look great as photo fridge magnets<\/a> and you can create new ones every year to see how they grow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the first day of senior year, get your child to hold a large photo of themselves as a child on their first day of primary or high school. Get the tissues ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, bear in mind that you could always tell your own Back-to-School story with these adorable photos in a stunning Snapfish photo book<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What did you create on Snapfish?
