This year I decided to not even get school pictures from the school. I am tired of paying $10 per child (the cheapest package) x 4 children every year for mediocre pictures that build clutter in our home and barely get used. I do, however, like the idea of capturing memories of what each of them looks like once a year, though, so I had them all dress up and took pictures of them outside in our yard with my phone, and they turned out WAY better than the school ones ever had, we had a beautiful background (a forest), and I was able to get better smiles from unstressed kids, and take ones with them in groups with siblings that were adorable. I wanted some prints so ordered my favorites in exactly the quantities I wanted online for about $10 total for about 40 prints, including shipping. I don't think I will ever go back to the "professional" ones at the school.
