Picture Day Tips- The Outfit

• As you view the styles, make sure the outfit will complement the colors.
• Avoid shirts with large words and logos. Layered clothing, solid colors, or patterns look best!
• Make sure you and your child both love the outfit! They will be more confident and relaxed for the photo.
