Senior Portraits
For the past three years we have included two portraits of our seniors; Traditional and Casual styles. The Traditional photo is done in a suit or nice blouse/dress. The casual portraits vary greatly in style and often showcase your senior’s personality, hobbies, interests and talents. We plan to continue this tradition, including the traditional portrait side by side with the casual photo as a way to capture another side of your senior as they embark on their last year of high school. See below for examples of the side by side look.
Most photographers offer packages that include both the casual and traditional style. For the traditional look we ask that your child wear either a suit (any color) or nice blouse/dress with a grey background like the examples above. Your photographer can send the portraits directly to the school (digitally on a flash drive, email or CD). All photos, traditional and casual, must be VERTICAL and will be due by ______________. Please plan to schedule your portrait session prior to the due date.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the high school yearbook advisor
