School pics

We had a photographer come to the girls' special school . And then, two weeks later, we were sent proofs of about a dozen photos. Some with both girls in, some with each girl separately. About three quarters of them had the flash bouncing off one or other of the girls' glasses. In the rest, Mog had her eyes closed, Little Fish was drooling, Mog was fitting or they were both looking completely gormless.

Just before half term a different photographer came into Little Fish's preschool to take photographs. And today she came home with this:
Which is I think absolutely beautiful. So how come this photographer could get such a wonderful shot whereas the other one managed 20 awful ones? And now, where can I get a decent photo of Mog to match it?

lovely photo. Celyn's school photo has her head tipped back, eyes half shut and she's drooling. How much effort would it have taken to ask her to look at the camera?

As you've discovered, some photographers are just miles better than others at taking pictures of kids. I think it often boils down to whether they are prepared to take the time to get a good shot. At my kids' daycare I saw the photographer do that, but I'm sure at their elementary school the pressure is on to get through all 300+ kids in one day . . . it shows in the results!
