Life Touch, the company responsible for the majority of school portrait photos in the U.S. offers two options: For $8 you can get 'basic retouching' which removes blemishes. Kristine Boel, a mom who is also a photographer, said 'school photos [are] supposed to represent a time in moment
The social-media savvy mom of today very likely uses a filter, or Facetune or at the very least a light edit before posting a photo of herself.But what about those yearly school photos? You know, the ones you look back on of yourself and cringe at? The hair, the teeth, the pimples. What if you could erase those imperfections?
Kristine Boel, a mom who is also a photographer, said"school photos [are] supposed to represent a time in moment, their life captured as it is... sweet, ugly, awkward, bruises, teeth missing, crooked ponytails and all. I know I love my funny and super real photos from my time in school. It brought so much fun out of just looking them over years after. I also feel it’s important not to mess up with our kids self image. They can see if we edit a photo of them.
"I know this is the unpopular opinion but my daughter scratched her face right before picture day and I majorly suck at taking and printing out nice photos so I opted for the retouch so I could have a nice photo," Katherine McCrillis said."I don’t regret it either because she took such a wonderful picture and rather then listen to everyone ask 'what happened to her face' or 'how did it get scratched' everyone just focused on what a nice picture she took.
