SCHOOL PICTURE TIPS

·  Wear solid colors, preferable in more subdued hues, they enhance facial tones and do not detract from expression. Very bright colors really stand out and can lighten or darken flesh tones. Wear long or short-sleeved tops, avoid sleeveless.

·  The best choice of clothes is the simplest -- dress them in collared shirts that fit, and complement their eyes and hair. A sweater, a dress, a neat t-shirt, or a clean soft polar fleece works.

·  Look for a top that complements your child's face, not one that distracts from it. Superman, Spiderman, Yankees, Cinderella, Frozen, or Marvel will immortalize childhood passions, but that should be your intention -- not an accident -- on picture day.
