Back-to-school season is here! If you are anything like us, you are most likely preparing for that first day and the special photos of your little one as they jump back into the swing of things. Use our tips for the perfect first day of school pictures to capture the beginning of their new year! Those fun memories will last a lifetime.

1. Pick the perfect outfit! You will get a more genuine smile if they feel comfortable with their first day of school style. Plan ahead and have them help you pick the look. Let her wear that brand new Southern Tee or something in her favorite shade of pink!

2. Pre-plan the background. Do you have a colorful front door? Looking to snap the perfect shot in the classroom? Make a game plan and stick to it!

3. Test the lighting. Jump out of bed early and see where you'll get the best light. You don't want them squinting into the sun!

4. Add simple props. Grab an apple, stack of pencils, or their favorite book. Some of the cutest back to school photo's we've seen were simple with just a back pack and lunch box!

5. Don't forget to have some fun! Hop in the photo and give them a big smooch, party as you send them off, or give them a big ol' hug. Keeping the atmosphere fun and friendly will result in more amazing snap shots!

ry princess deserves a beautiful dress and we've got you covered! RuffleButts Princess Petti Dresses are BACK IN STOCK, so we're sharing an easy guide to the perfect princess style!

All of us here at RuffleButts HQ have a soft spot in our hearts for these ruffled petti dresses. They're specially designed for swirls and twirls and are the perfect start to a princess outfit! Follow the tips below to make the most of this royal style.

1. Accessorize- Yes, we do mean bows or headbands but don't forget about tights and costume jewelry! Help her create her own jewelry box so she has a special place to keep her treasures!

2. Don't underestimate the power of the polish- Nail polish is my go-to for creating a special finishing touch to any princess look. If you want extra winning points opt for a color filled with glitter.

3. It's all about the shoes- We've seen our customers dress up with heels, sparkle with flats, and even rock the sneakers! There is nothing cuter than a princess in converse!

4. Build her a castle- Collect boxes and use them as building blocks. Stack high to give her a Rapunzel tower fit for a queen.

5. Dress her up- We've got a rainbow of colors in our petti dress styles! Make sure she has plenty of options for her day of play. Bonus? They look great at weddings and parties too!
