no school pictures

Why do we have two threads on this?

School photos are really expensive these days and often not very good. If you really want some why not ask if they could put an order in for you as well?

You could also ask whether they do them online these days. My dds final set of school photos were available to view online so you could ask to have a look if they are and get an idea of the extortionate cost!

A little off the subject, but one of my Grammar school photographs was so bad that it was handed to me in a sealed brown envelope bearing the words 'no charge'.
The photographer had caught me 'mid blink', it was a truly dreadful shot
DM and I looked at it for about three minutes, then burned it before DF even got home!

Why not say you would like one and how much would it be to order an extra one? School photos can be very expensive.

Take your own photos if you want one.

My eldest grandson has just had his first school photos taken and they were so very expensive so, no expect she's only bought one for herself. As others have said, just message her, saying you noticed the photo of the little ones and, next time would it be possible for you to buy one.

We never gave grandparents any school photos- didn’t think they’d want them. Must have given them a few other photos though, usually duplicates. But that was in the days before digital cameras. Nowadays our children share photos of grandchildren by WhatsApp - we wouldn’t expect them to give us printed ones.

Why not just ask them why they haven't given you any, adding that you are quite happy to pay for them.

I don’t understand why you are asking us ask your step daughter if you could have one and offer to pay if the woman has just had a new baby I guess school photos are hardly a big thought in her head
Surely you or (preferable) her Dad could say we saw those lovely photos yesterday when we were at yours would you be able to get us a copy and let us know how much

Or is it gurning?

Were they girning Maw ?

The last school pics the Birmingham DGCs had done were so awful DD bought one for the children’s sake but honestly they belonged in the Hammer House of Horror! Even to doting grandparents!

When my DGC were at their last school, the photos were so expensive that DR bought only one. I dare say that if I'd asked, and offered to pay for one she would have got one for me. To be honest though, they were not the best photos I've ever seen.
If you really would like a school photo, I would offer to buy one.

You should ask her nicely ‘Are some of those photos for us’?
If not, offer to buy a few.
