First Day of School Photo Ideas

Tomorrow is the First Day of School for our city. There are mixed emotions from people I have spoken to this past week. Some are excited to have some free time and get back on a schedule, others are sad and can’t imagine how quiet the house will be with out them.

Being an educator myself… my experience was different because my daughters and I all started school together.

One thing was certain…It was an exciting time and my camera worked overtime to capture these memories for years to come.

Found this great idea on Pinterest. What an awesome idea to add age, and some of his favorite things!

Here is another example from The Suburban Mom.

Also another GREAT idea from The Suburban Mom is to take a First Day and Last Day picture.
