1
Select clothing with solid colors -- no patterns -- for your child to wear in her school photos. Wrinkle free, permanent press or all cotton clothing is the idea. A good outfit for boys is khaki pants with a polo shirt. For girls, a simple dress that is not too frilly will work well. Bows and jewelry should be kept small and simple so they don't take attention away from the face.

Have your child practice smiling and good posture in the mirror. If you have a young child, you may also want to take pictures at home so he can practice sitting still in preparation for the actual photo shoot.

Make sure your child gets an adequate amount of sleep the night before the shoot so that she'll appear well-rested and without circles under her eyes.

Remind your child to check his hair in the mirror before taking his picture. If he's wearing a collared shirt, also have him make sure his collar is lying flat.
