Helping Hands Playschool: Picture Day 2023
Picture Day at Helping Hands
2023 Dates
- North Liberty (HHPS2) Tuesday, September 12 2023 — 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
- Coralville Center (HHPS1) Thursday, September 14 2023 — 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
How it works
School photos with Apollo & Ivy are different from the old standard school pics. No marbled backgrounds, props, or flashbulbs here!
Fine art school photos keep the focus on your child’s unique personality. I spend time with them, make them smile and laugh, then capture their expressions, from pensive to sweet to silly.
Your next steps
- Fill out the form at the bottom of this page to pre-register your child for picture day.
You can request sibling photos, join my mailing list, and accept/decline the model release.
After picture day
- I’ll post a link in the HHPS Facebook group within 3 weeks of picture day (it will also be shared on Brightwheel).
- Your child will have their own album containing the best 4–6 images (each will be in color and black & white).
- Choose a package or order a la carte prints, canvases, and digital downloads. There’s no obligation to buy.
What to wear
Your child’s photos will be taken against a black backdrop, so keep that in mind when choosing clothing.
I recommend:
- Light-colored tops in solid colors or subtle prints. Consider colors that make your child’s eye color pop!
- Small bows (less than 4″ wide), headbands or barrettes at the side of the head.
- Details add visual interest: suspenders, ruffles, a cute little bow-tie… lots of options!
- For babies, choose tops that don’t darken when they get wet (slobber is inevitable with the littlest ones)!
- Avoid:
-
- Large amounts of black, navy, and other dark colors
- Ultrabright and neon colors
- Small thin stripes or small checkered prints
- Logos or shirts with big print
-
- Consider allowing your child to pick a favorite outfit within these parameters to capture even more of their personality!
