How to Plan a Back-to-School Photo Shoot

The first step in planning a back-to-school photo shoot is to think about what you want to achieve, your goals, and your desired outcome. Do you want to shoot indoors or outdoors? What time of the day will you schedule your shoot? Answering these questions will help you plan out your shoot and make the process more fun and enjoyable. Also, it will be easier to set expectations with your child (or children) before the day of the photo shoot.

Poses: Depending on the personality of your child, consider using poses that showcase their interests. For example, if your child loves sports, have them hold a soccer ball or basketball.
