Pelham Montessori Sibling Photos!
SIBLING PHOTOS
Please arrive early and be ready to go (coats off, faces clean) when I call your name. Think of these time slots as estimates — some groups only take a minute or two while others take a bit longer — and I hope to make the most of the time we have for as many sibling groups as possible before school starts!
Oh boy, those filled fast! Please email me at jaye@jayemclaughlin.com with the names and ages of your children if you’d like to be added to the waitlist.
SIBLING GROUP ARRIVAL TIMES
The following families are confirmed for sibling photos on Thursday morning. When you arrive, please sign in at the little table near the school door. I’ll take groups in the order in which they’re signed up and ready. So that everyone doesn’t show up at once, please note the following times:
8am: Sheth, Quintin, Scott, Donnelly
8:15: Kwan, Reycraft, Plotycia, Hill
8:30: McGarry, Ruggiero, Dorris
ON PICTURE DAY …
*** It’s super important that you please try to stay OUT of the line of vision of the kiddos being photographed — even/ESPECIALLY if that kiddo is your own.*** I’ve got a very short window to try to get multiple kids to simultaneously look at me and smile. The odds are against me, when you think about it. Help me out by standing out of the way and try not to be a distraction, K?
When you arrive, I’ll have a table set up somewhere with a box of wipes and a stack of index cards. Find your kiddos’ index card and grab a wipe. Then stand by within shouting distance until I call you over.
The one exception is if you’ve brought a baby or a super wiggly toddler to be photographed. These littles are not really ideal for this setup and short time frame, BUT as long as you’re willing to help me and possibly serve as an off-camera prop, I’m perfectly willing to give it a try and see what we get. ????
I will take photos of your kiddos together and individual photos of your NON-HNS kid(s). Your HNS kid(s) will have their individual photos taken during the school day with his/her class.
What’s the wipe for, you ask? It’s for you to wipe your kiddos’ faces while you wait. Please get down to their level and examine their faces carefully for remnants of breakfast or any other crusties. Clean ‘em up good, because they’ll show up on your photo if you don’t! There will also be a cup or box of clean, un-used combs on the table. I personally don’t care too much about perfect hair on little kids, but if you want to spend your waiting time making an attempt to achieve that, you may help yourself to a comb (and keep it). But try (hard) not to annoy your kiddos, OK? Good moods are waaaaaaay more important than good hair in this context.
