Plan out your outfit:
Look through your clothes and think about which outfits look best on you. Think about what colours you get complimented while wearing but make sure to stay away from busy patterns, white, bright colours, and clothing with words or big logos.
•
Practise your smile:
Stand in front of your mirror at home and practise smiling. It might feel a little silly to do, but if you want your pictures to look a certain way, you'll need to figure out how to create your most attractive, natural smile in advance.
•
Take a shower regularly:
Being clean will help you look and feel your best in front of the camera. Shampoo and condition your hair and create a lather with your soap or body wash. Go over your whole body with the soap from top to bottom. It's best if you take a shower either the night before or the morning of picture day.
•
Keep your accessories simple:
Big earrings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, scarves, or other accessories will just distract from your face and smile. If you want to wear accessories, it's better to choose small, simple ones that don't immediately demand attention.
•
Practise angles and choose one:
School pictures are usually taken straight-on, but very subtle changes in your head positioning can make a big difference. When you practice smiling in the mirror or in selfies, test out slightly different head positions to find out which one makes your facial features look best.
