I still can’t believe Ms. Bizzie will be starting Kindergarten in less than two weeks. Seriously where did the time go? Tomorrow we are meeting her new teacher and we can’t wait. The school is just around the corner and I can’t wait to walk her to school every morning even though school starts at 8:01am. That’s SO EARLY for us. We usually don’t get out of the house until 9:00am and that’s on a good day.
I can already see her rolling her eyes as I snap away with the camera capturing every moment. I want to get a picture of her carrying her brand new backpack, tying her shoes, walking to school… There are so many things spinning through my head I need a shot list…
You are not going to believe what I stumbled on while reading Kelly Willette’s blog Willette Photography & More. Give up?
A “must-have” back-to-school shot list for all the photography obsessed parents out there getting ready for that first day of school.
- With teacher
- With new backpack
- With new clothes/shoes
- Schools supplies
- Outside classroom door
- Shopping for school supplies
- With you
- With School friends
- Writing in school notebooks
- With Lunchbox
- Getting ready for school
She has so many other suggestions so be sure to check out her Back-to-School shot list.
I am hoping to get some shots of her in the playground, at her new desk, and doing her homework for the first time. Of course I’ll have to throw in some pictures of her mini double (baby brother) that has to do EVERYTHING his big sister does.
While you’re checking out Kelly’s blog be sure to check out her Photography Tools and great workshops and e-classes. Her Finding Your Joy e-class starts on September 1st if you are looking for something to do while your little ones are in school.
Great list, thanks for passing it along. My boys are definitely nearing that eye-rolling stage as we do back-to-school shots. But hey. even catching some of those eye rolls is classic, too!
Good idea! My favorite pic of my middle child is the one we took of her on her first day of Kindergarten walking up to school. Her pink backpack dwarfed her. She turned around (at my hubbie’s request-he’s the photographer) as she was approaching the front entrance. Her look of annoyance at us, coupled with nervousness on her first day of school is priceless. Make their eyes roll. It’s worth it. They can thank you later
OMGosh, my dd did the HUGE eye roll! I didn’t even get to take a picture in the classroom. I did manage to get #2,3 &5. I can’t wait for the Halloween party….
My daughter still has another week before school starts and I just found out for Kindergarten they don’t need to buy school supplies. Kinda bummed because I was looking forward to that part. LOL. oh well
