So this is my first year with two at school. We have just received the school photo form, I'm not sure What to do? Get a whole indivdual pack each or get the sibling picture and just then their group class photo? Would love to hear what your family Does? Apology for the jumpiness on my phone.

I tend to get the cheapest pack offered out of guilt, get the photos, look at them once and lose them. Our school produces a beautiful, full colour yearbook with photos, school events, artwork, poetry etc etc that I prefer to school pics!

I have been getting the cheapest pack (includes individual photos, class photo, and all class mates by name) - as they are now both in school I am getting a family/joint photo as well. The cheapest pack was $29 each, plus $12 for the family photo. So $70 all up here. Some of the packs have so many photos I have no idea what you would do with them all!

Just the class photo. The individual ones used to turn out looking terrible as the kids had been running around at school during the day and hair and clothes ended up messy. We have more than enough photos of the little darlings anyway.

All. I'm making a photo wall of each years individual pic. Joint pic goes in frame between the boys beds (they share).

Ms
when my girls were in the same school I always bought each of their class shots and the family photo.

We do the individual photos and class photos. No joint family photo.

We do kindergarten, yr3 and yr6, spreads the cost out and each child gets some school photos. Will only do the sibling pic when all four are at school together.
