School Photos

I was surprised at the boy’s school last year that they didn’t use Strawbridge. I mean, lots and lots of schools across the region (country?) use Strawbridge for school photos. They’ve been around, in Durham, since 1923. I can’t remember the name of the not-local company they did use, but the photos were horrible. He was grimacing as in pain, and they didn’t bother to crop the viewfinder to avoid the muddy shoes from earlier playgrounding. (Honey, if you read this, know that your mama thinks you are beautiful even when you are grimacing and have muddy shoes.)

Strawbridge took our photos in high school. I still remember walking to Oval Park to stand on the hill for the group photo. It was a good group photo.

I was therefore relieved that they were hired to take the boy’s grade pictures this year, and what a fabulous job they did. We delivered a copy to one of the grands today, and she was very pleased.

I’m always surprised that we’re expected to pick a package and pay ahead, before the pictures are even taken. We always skip the individual pictures and buy class pictures each year.
