Tomorrow we are having the photographer come into school. The children have their photos taken and then we are having a staff photo. I am looking forward to this as I have only been at this school for just over a year and it will be my first staff photo here ( we didn't have one taken last year ). The parents tend to give the photos to family members for Christmas as well as hanging them on their wall or placing them in an album. I think it's a lovely idea and a great reminder of the children through their school years. Do you remember having your photo taken at school ?

Yes a long time ago :-) I remember that it was such an ordeal with me. I had to pick out just the right outfit an plan how my hair was going to be. I look back at some of my photos now and think "what the hell was going through my mind to think this was an okay look for me?" One year I begged and begged my mom to cut my bangs and she just didnt have the time to cut them and I wanted them cut before my pictures so I cut them myself and boy was my mom pissed. It was the day before picture day too. I had cut my bangs right to my scalp, it was so bad!!

Oh yes, I remember. It was not fun. Hair and clothes were never right. Glad that is over.

I remember the school photos that my mother had in an album, but none of the actual. occasions. I guess it was me, unless I had a secret twin who took over on picture day. I don't think we bought pictures after a certain age.
