Grab your gear, review the shot list above, and remember: The best camera is the one you have with you. The best photo is the one they don't see you take. candidhdcom first day school

1. The Year-over-Year Slideshow: Import photos from Kindergarten through 12th grade into a video editor. Watch the age progression in real-time. The background changes, the backpacks change, but the feeling of the morning remains.
2. Physical Prints: HD images deserve large prints. Print a 16x20 of the "Walking away" shot for your home office.
3. Cloud Backup: Label the folder clearly: Year_School_Grade_FirstName_Candid. This makes retrieval easy for graduation parties.
