Get Ready for Back-to-School Mini-Sessions!

Updated: Jul 30, 2021

Summer is almost over, but are you ready for school to start? Like me, I bet you're checking off school supplies lists and waiting anxiously for class schedules and teacher assignments. I can smell the freshly sharpened pencils and eraser shavings already! Capture this special moment for years to come with mini-photo shoots this August!


Mini-sessions are available August 6-8 in Tallahassee or Thomasville areas


Below are a few tips to get you ready for a great session!


Easy Outfit Planning

Take these steps to ensure the perfect photo!

  • Use the same outfit as planned for the first day of school to alleviate the pressure of scrambling with what to wear.

  • Dress your child in solid, brights colors and try to avoid shirts with large graphics.


Fun School Props

At Hatch Photography, each photoshoot will offer fun props including a desk, globe, pencils, and books. Bring your child's new backpack to give that school-ready feeling. School signs are always a great addition filled out with your child's name, grade, date and favorite things!


Hair Style Tips

Try a trendy hairstyle for elementary school girls with dutch braids. Braid the hair starting at the top of the head to the center leaving loose hair to flow around the nape of the neck. Loose curls or leaving it natural is always beautiful. Use hairspray on dutch braids to keep flyways at bay. Other simple girl hairstyles include pigtails, ponytails or French braids. Here's a quick tutorial on braids. For boys, try using hair product such as hairspray or gel and run a comb through it ensure their hair is picture perfect when you arrive.
