So..cutting a long story short. We have just received our school photos in the post because the company the school used , took so, so long to send them out.

My DD's own photo is terrible!!! I mean it is the worst photo i have seen of her!! She isn't smiling and his her head down so she actually has a double chin !!!!!!!

The class photo - is slightly better but my DD is one of the six who is grimacing 😔

im just so annoyed as they were expensive and i ordered extra for family. i cannot and wont send any. she looks terrible.

can i complain? surely they didnt just take one photo??

im thjnking that i will just take my own of her i her uniform.

i feel very angry and sad about it all.

I wouldn't have bought without a preview. School photos are so unnecessary now, I bought yR because I felt I had to. The photos I took on my phone are better. Haven't bought any since then.

If you are like me in 20 or 30 years you will love that photo, it will make you smile. I have some of my kids with hair standing on end, a grin with front teeth missing and I do love them.

DS now 18 had a hilariously bad school photo when he was about 7. He was a very obstinate little boy, didn’t want his photo taken and was trying so hard not to smile even though the photographer was making him laugh. He ended up looking like an elderly codfish. I carried this picture around with me for years as it made me laugh so much, and on his 18th we made him a t shirt with repeated images of it on. If it makes you feel any better he found it hilarious at 18. (Photo attached for illustration purposes, not my DS).

I love that. When they grow up we have so many "perfect" photos and these dreadful ones are a great change.

In 12 years I have never ordered nor would I consider ordering a school photo without proofs. How did you order?

I can't get over the fact that you bought photos without seeing the previews. You really only have yourself to blame.

Really crap there's no preview
