I always buy a small package of the fall yearbook photo. To his credit, DS has never taken a bad yearbook photo. He missed his sixth-grade photo a couple of weeks ago because he was on quarantine, but there should be a makeup day in a few weeks. We'll see if his streak continues. I rarely buy the spring photos. They are usually fine, but I just don't need that many photos.

I remember my mom hated my third-grade photo --we didn't have yearbooks, so the fall photo was a waist-up shot with a more decorative background. We went to a department store in my town to have them redone and she gave those out for Christmas. They were a lot better.
