The Primrose gallery goes live tomorrow. I’m pretty excited for parents to see their photos! It’s been fun going through and editing them.
My first day, working with the youngest infants, I mostly made lots of goofy, really wide-mouthed faces. My face felt like a stretchy rubberband clown by the end of the day. When I got to the older kids, I developed a pretty set spiel we went through about how many brothers, sisters, cats, dogs, etc., they had. Being asked about cats or dogs made nearly everyone who had one smile (even though many of them couldn’t remember their pet’s name) but being asked about brothers or sisters…notsomuch.
Then I asked them if they had purple eyes.
Looking through the photos for each kid, I can tell on exactly which photo I asked them that question. They are either laughing at the crazy lady or looking very quizzically at the crazy lady. It was great. :) I also asked them if they had hamburgers for breakfast. Parents, either lots of your kids are good jokesters or way too many of you are feeding them hamburgers for breakfast. With ketchup.

Michael - Great shots MK. Much better than my kids get at their school. I’ll have to talk to the Principal and see what we can do about next year.
LK - What perfectly kid-like kids! I love their eyes and could hang their portraits on my wall without even knowing any of them!!
~SarahInParis~ - These are super fabulous. I just love them – such genuine emotions you can just see their little spirits. Let’s hope more schools get a bit smarter with their school photos. Great work!!
