Fun Family Photo Ideas to Kick Off the School Year

At The Selfie Co., we love watching families come alive and bond through photography. Here are some of our favorite photo ideas that are sure to add a pop of excitement to your albums—and your Instagram feed:

1. First Day Feels 

Capture the excitement (and a little bit of nervousness) with themed signs, chalkboards, or letter boards where kids can write their new grade or favorite subject. Pair these with our creative backdrops for a timeless memento.

2. Group Jump Shots 

Our spacious rooms allow the whole family to take energetic group jump photos. Coordinate outfits and let everyone leap for joy to celebrate the new school year.

3. Prop-Packed Portraits 

Make it silly or sweet with oversized pencils, books, backpacks, glasses, and hats, provided in our prop selection. Mix and match for unique combinations.

4. Super Sibling Shots 

Highlight the special bond between siblings with fun poses—think piggyback rides or playful “school bus” formations.

5. Parent & Kid Duos 

Parents, don’t stay behind the camera! Hop in and create “then and now” poses to show how your family is growing.
