I had my first daycare shoot experience the last three days... all I can say is... WHAT A BLAST!! I wanted to set myself apart from the "typical" school photos that everyone envisions, without changing it so much that those who rely on the typical shot would still feel like they had that choice. I spread the shoot over 3 days just to be sure I had plenty of time to capture what I knew I wanted to accomplish. I spent a couple of minutes with each child on a white backdrop, striving to get a full body shot and a head shot. Then I headed outside to chase them around the playground for a moment during their "recess time". I made a surprise appearance the following afternoon during 2 hours of pickup time, so run a slideshow of the first day's pictures so everyone could get a sneak peek of what to expect. Some parents got to see their pictures, some didn't, but even the ones who didn't had great things to say about them and were excited to see their own! The outdoor photos were a HUGE hit! The daycare and the parents all LOVED them. So much so that they asked me on the spot to come back in the fall!!
