Picture Day is quickly Approaching By Darren Anderson

Whether you’re pretty, ugly or share a little bit of both sides, picture day is right around the corner (September 17th to be exact). This will be be your day to shine and look good for the camera…hopefully. Since these are yearbook photos, it is key to look as close to your best as possible. Remember, everyone will see your picture, EVERYONE. If you’re not an attractive person, it’s OK , just show off that smile. If you have not so great teeth though or no teeth at all, we can Photoshop in some for you or you can just do the closed mouth smile, you know, the one you give to strangers in the grocery store.

This year, you’re able to publish your yearbook pictures on a personal dog tag (brand new), a calendar, small magnets for your fridge and even a CD you can share with your family and friends. so remember that date 9/17 and be prepared to look fantastical.
