[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a family reunion party this weekend.  My cousin (who is a librarian) put together a powerpoint photo montage for everyone to watch.  He located every atrocious school photo of all of my cousins from the late 1960s through the early 1980s -- they were truly HORRENDOUS.  I remember once begging my mother not to buy them they were so bad.  And at the reunion we all laughed until we cried.  The funny part was that no one cared about the perfect looking family photos that my mother insisted on havign a professional take.  Don't rob your child (or yourself) of these fun memories.  Buy at least the cheap package.  I don't think these photos mean anything until 30 years later.  [/quote]

Yes, I LOVE the boring, often horrendous school pics and wouldn't trade them for anything.  When I want "nice" pictures, I have them professionally done, but I feel the school pics are a right of passage.

My husband's step grandmother made a Christmas ornament with each year's school pics.  We have them now.  They go from the adorable preschool and kinder pics, to the toothless grins, to the awkward and then the just plain ugly, all in late 70s/early 80s fashion splendor.  Every year we look forward to pulling those out and they fill us with smiles and laughter.

I know my old school pics are equaly as hilarious (poodle hair and 3 layers of polos anyone?)  They are so much more fun to look at than the "nice" posed photos taken of our family while growing up.[/quote]
