Picture Day Tips: The Ghosts of My Picture Days Past
Hi everyone,
Whether it's going in the yearbook or going on your driver's license, getting your official photo taken can be a stressful occasion. To help make "Retake Day" a thing of the past, in my latest video, I go over some key tips and give a tutorial to prepare you for Picture Day success.
Although I have a better idea now of what works and what doesn't work on Picture Day, the camera hasn't always shown me love... These old school photos of me are my gift to you – use my hard-earned knowledge to prevent laughable pictures of your own! ENJOY.
Me at 10 years old. Check out my school uniform! You can still look fashionable :P
Glamour shots at 15 years old. If you had these, you were cool.
Aaand my senior pictures. I'd give anything to retake these!
I looked so different back then! Your face is constantly changing over the years!
Graduated with honors, my mama was so proud!
Do you have any Picture Day horror stories or funny pics of your own? Please share in the comments section below!

i have one picture from when i was in grade 5 i believe and i had front bangs at the time and our photos were after recess and during recess my bangs were annoying me so i had some hair clips and i clipped them to the sides...and then forgot to take them out when we were doing the photo. + no one told me b/c it didn't bother anyone. Lets just say only my dad ordered photos that year; my mom refused and I was sick on retake day so she didn't get any gr 5 photo of me

My ID pictures never look right... so i always have to spend a year wearing an ID with a picture that looks like I just bit into a caramel-covered onion that I thought was a caramel-covered apple. lol.

I have shown up to picture days only to get my library card.
I haven't bought prints of myself since grade school. I didn't even get a high school grad picture. They would never let me take my glasses off, and all my glasses do is reflect the light. So yeah, no point in paying for ruined pictures.

This year picture day became the worst walking nightmare ever! I had had a horrible day. Filled with slip up after slip up. To top it off it was PICTURE DAY! I was so unhappy my picture I didn't smile and forgot to put on any makeup. So when I finally saw the picture I wasn't smiling, my face was shiny, and I looked like an axe murderer. AAAAAAHHHHH!

OH GOD! Picture day was always in the morning for me! And I live in Texas. It is usually humid in the summer mornings. It was supposed to be Fall, but in Texas we only have two seasons. That's hot and very hot. Cold if we are lucky! Snow would be a miracle like last year. But anyway let me get to the story. I was running late and ofcourse I was running because I didn't want to be tardy. By the time I got to where they were taking the pictures, my makeup was runny, I was sweating like crazy, and my hair was frizzy! But thankfully, that was my freshman year. Senior year was way better!!!
