School pictures!

It was this time of the year again that school pictures got taken. This time the photographer's company is called 'My Lifetouch' or so but from the 3 I had now (Preschool, Kindergarten and now) I like them the least. Instructions on how and what to order were not really clear, you needed to pay in advance even before the photo shoot (how do you get the money back when the picture turns out ugly?) and in addition they give you a number for ordering online but only have example pictures.
Even now after getting the kids' pictures back, I got a portrait ID and Access Code but if you enter all this, you STILL don't look at your kids picture but at an example image.

The company has quite some backgrounds to choose from but quite hon

est, they are more or less all ugly. I loved the quality from the preschool picture much much better, the company took a picture of 3 different poses and you got little wallet sized example pictures to finally choose what pose you like and what size or how many pictures you want together with your payment. So much better! And if you checked online, you actually looked at the actual picture of your daughter, not at just somebody.

Anyway, I instructed my kids how to pose (hair in front, chin into
back, no stupid smile but nice smile...) and both pictures turned out quite decent to my surprise!
