We have young kids just entering into the school system and that means they have school photo days. We did the same when we were kids, but times were different then. School photos were some of the only good photos we’d get of ourselves growing up. That isn’t the case these days with cellphones. We get lots of wonderful pictures of our children, and we can print them cheaply if we want.
So I don’t know if it makes sense paying for school photo bundles. What do you think? Will we regret missing out? Is there something special about a basic school portrait that cellphone pictures can’t compare to? Or are they an obsolete practice?

If they’re expensive, maybe ask some of your family members if they’d pitch in? I think I’m half the reason my sister in law pays for the package of my nieces.
I think it’s so valuable to see how kids present themselves in front of their peers and school! It’s just such a fun way to watch them grow up and I love having them on my wall to look at and show off to my friends who visit.
I have 3 older teens. I don’t really think it’s worth it. Other than giving them to one grandmother who recently passed away, we have a big stack of all the photos that we never did anything with other than frame the 8 x 10. As you said, there are so many opportunities to take other, better photos of them.
I’m a cheap bitch I just cut out the previews 😂 nobody cares about a water mark
