Here are some tips to taking good photographs:

Take photos that include people's faces. Photos of people are much more engaging than photos of buildings or items.
Make sure the subject of your photo is well lit. Avoid having them facing away from the light source (whether that's the sun or a light), as this can make people appear backlit.
If taking photos outside, consider taking them in the shade. This soft light is more flattering and helps make sure the person doesn't have harsh shadows on their face.
Take photos at eye level. If you're photographing a younger student, this may mean you take the photo from a lower angle. Try to have the camera at the same height as their face.
