Sharing some hacks that got me photos of my teen without absolutely mortifying him except in those instances when that was actually my goal.... #momlife
I bribed my 3 this year - got them all new shirts and told them I would leave them alone on the first day if they took pics a few days earlier - and to my amazement IT WORKED!
Great hacks! I currently have a pre-teen and most of my photos are of him with a phone or hand over his face lol
Great tips- bribes do work! And I love the one with the google map/satellite map for his first time driving on the highway - that is creative. Awesome teen photo ideas!
Great post and inspiring photo ideas. IMO more interesting than standing and smiling for the camera anyway
Thanks for all the great ideas. I'm not quite there yet - DS has just started 5th grade but I'm already getting some of the resistance to being in photos. At least he'll still pose for the occasional selfie with me and I know I can still grab some of those pics during activities.
That's a great idea! I used that one for Communion pictures and Graduation shots- that way I had good photos in dress clothes without all the crowds around and stress of the day! Ah! But thats as much a part of their "look" as a hairstyle or clothes- right? Agreed for sure!
Great tips! I've already started doing this since last year. I have a 7th grader now. I got a back to school photo at home then a back photo of him running to his friend on the first day. Good enough for me!
