Photo Day Tips

Tips for taking the best photos

If you suspect you’ll need a haircut before photo day, aim to have it done a week ahead of time.
Check to make sure your uniform or clothing for photo day is clean and wrinkle free.
Practice your smile and posture in front of a mirror before photo day.

Wear bright and solid colours for school portraits because it emphasizes your face.
Wearing long sleeves allows the face to stand out more as well.
You might want to bring a comb to make sure your hair is perfect right before your picture.
If you normally wear glasses, feel free to wear them for your photos. Our photographers are trained to reduce glare on the lens.
Remember to relax and have fun – our photographers are known to be fun and awesome people.

We recommend wearing a white collared shirt for a nice contrast against the dark gown.
Pair a buttoned up collar with a tie in a colour that works with the gown; we can provide a tie if needed.
Feel free to bring a casual outfit and props that emphasize your personality for optional casual shots.

Depending on the school, milestone and celebration photos may be taken with a graduation gown or in casual clothes.
A collared shirt pairs nicely with the graduation gown. Our photographers will have some on hand in case your child doesn’t own one.
All props will be provided by Edge on the day of the shoot.
