Fall School Pictures

There's just something about school pictures every year that keeps me buying them. I don't know what it is. It's definitely not the photography skills. Most of them are sort of awkward looking or off-center or capture the kids right as they're saying "fuzzy pickles" through a fake smile. (At least one of my kids usually has to have retakes for an expression that I just can't commit to displaying on my family room wall for the next year.) It's not the price--I could probably get way better pictures elsewhere for the same price I pay for the school ones.





I guess the only thing I can think of is that year after similar year, pose after similar pose, I see my kids grow up in these photos.


The only thing sadder than forking over forty bucks for a picture that I probably could have done a better job taking, is the day when I won't have to anymore.

Oh, I agree! You expressed it all perfectly.
