12 Memorable Back to School Photo Ideas for 2020

August 10, 2020

Can you believe that the school year is about to begin again? It will more than like­ly be a bit dif­fer­ent this year, but whether your child is remote learn­ing or attend­ing class in per­son, you still want to cap­ture that first day, back to school pho­to, and you want to get the best pho­to by choos­ing the cor­rect cam­era set­tings.

Here are some unique back to school pho­to ideas to switch up the tra­di­tion­al pic­ture of hold­ing a sign with the year or your child with their backpack. 

Back to School Photo Tips

To get the most nat­ur­al smiles from your kids, try chat­ting with them to get them to relax. I know the first day of school is often crazy, and pic­tures are usu­al­ly the last thing on every­one’s mind, so you may want to cap­ture these a few days in advance so that you don’t forget.

Okay, get out your tis­sue for this one!! Have you lit­tle one wear a cap and gown or even buy a grad­u­a­tion and their year sign and have them hold this.

The most impor­tant thing to remem­ber is to cap­ture the moment and not get caught up in the per­fect smile or the per­fect back to school pho­to ideas.  You want to remem­ber the first day of school, not the stress get­ting that per­fect pic­ture caused.
