Fall School Portraits are Thursday at Mulkey

School Portraits are this Thursday at Mulkey. For those of you interested in knowing what the backdrop looks like, I am posting the photo below. It's our traditional fall photo backdrop for yearbook photos.

We will do our very best to make sure that photos are done perfectly on Thursday to cut down on any need for a makeup photo.

A Few Clothing and Grooming Tips for Fall Portraits

1. I can't stress enough not to wear a t-shirt!!!!!
   
2. Choose solid colors or simple patterns that complement the portrait’s background
3. Medium to dark shades create a timeless look
4. Soft shades enhance lighter backgrounds
5. Avoid shirts with slogans as photo cropping can cut words in half
6. Long-sleeved shirts are best since short sleeves can be distracting and sleeveless tops can look too casual
7. Select small accessories that do not detract, such as simple earrings, pins and necklaces

What to Expect on Fall Portrait Day

1. A teacher or staff member will lead your child to the picture-taking area.
2. We will greet your child, answer questions, straighten collars and provide combs for quick touch-ups.
3. We will pose your child with the attention and care that creates a quality portrait.
4. Your photographs will be delivered to the school approximately three weeks later.

Final Checkoffs

1. Check your hair and shirt collar at camera time
2. Practice your smile
3. Remember good posture
4. Wear your best colors
5. Relax and smile at the camera as if it’s your best friend
6. Be yourself and have fun
