I’ve seen a lot of super cute back to school pictures floating around Facebook recently, and decided to do my own! I thought they turned out so well that I wanted to share them with you, too.

Back to School Pictures & Interviews

I did not use my fancy camera to take these pictures. Well, I did. I took pictures using both my Nikon with my 50 mm Nikon Lens and also with my iphone. Turns out, I got better shots with my iphone than I did with my Nikon. It was just luck of the draw, I guess, as I obviously couldn’t take pictures with both cameras as the same time. After I went through all of picutres, I realized that my favorite shots were captured by the iphone and then shared on instagram.

After I took the pictures, I asked my kids a series of questions.

Here are the results:

I really had so much fun doing this with my kids that I intend to make it a yearly back to school event. I can’t wait to see how the answers change from year to year. And I am most definetly a picture person, so having the pictures for my sense of nostalgia is really important to me. I wish I would have thought to do this when my first child was born.

Do you have any back to school traditions you do every year with your kids? Please share!!
