When putting an outfit together for picture day you have to keep the weather in mind. For instance I had planned on wearing a dress for my picture but since I walk and the weather was cold so I had to swap to a shirt and tie (with added Gryffindor pin). Don't be too strenuous when walking to school, get a ride if possible because you may sweat on your way to school and you don't want embarrassing sweat stains in your picture to be remembered forever. Also keep the background of the picture in mind, you don't want your head to be floating. Dress nicely but don't wear a costume, be yourself!
When packing your bag pack a hairbrush, a small mirror, some touch up makeup, and a lunch that is easy to eat and won't stain if your picture will be in the afternoon.
At my high school they call down by last name in alphabetical order, keep that in mind during the day. If you're in an earlier letter (example I would be C) you are lucky. If you aren't stop by the bathroom on your way to the photo area to touch up with a hairbrush and makeup or whatever else you would need.
Don't be afraid to practice your smile while in the washroom, and remember to smile with your eyes so it's genuine. Once you get to the photo area give the photographer your order sheet and follow their instructions. They are instructing you for a reason. Be confident, sit up straight and don't forget to smile!

Ps. I seem to have Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide on the brain lately, it's a good show with good tips that I actually use and borrow for here time to time so I recommend watching it even if it's for middle school children. The jokes aren't just aimed for kids anyway so even an adult will enjoy it (my mother is proof). Go find it on the net somewhere because Nickelodeon decided to stop airing it, or look to family during the weekly afternoons before school ends. It's fun to watch when you're home sick!
Thanks!
