1. How do I schedule a portrait with Legacy Studio?

• You will receive an email from Legacy Studios <no-reply@imagequix.com> to select a date/time to come to campus for your senior portrait session. You will receive this email about 14 days prior to the portrait sessions beginning if not sooner. If you do not schedule your portrait session for the first session on campus, NO WORRIES, you will continue to receive emails to schedule your portrait session prior to each time we have the portrait studios at our school.

• If you do not receive an email, please check your spam folder, as sometimes it may end up there due to your internet security settings.

• Select the portrait session that best meets your needs.

• Pay your session fee online.

• You will receive a reminder email regarding your portrait session a few days prior to
  
  your appointment.

• YEARBOOK POSE SELECTION: Please review and bring with you the required yearbook pose clothing (this information is also provided to you when you register online for your portrait session).

• FOR YOUR NON-YEARBOOK PHOTOS: Please bring some items to your portrait session that reflect who you are and what you interests are like; sports jerseys, sporting equipment, band instrument, special clothing and have FUN with your portrait session.

• After pictures are captured - You will review the images taken. Please make sure you see some you love AND if not, please inform your photographer and they will be happy to take additional images. You will be emailed a link with your image gallery within 8-10 business days from no-reply@imagequix.com.

It is so much fun to work with all of the green screen replacement background options. If you need help or have any questions, please contact Legacy Studios at customercare@legacystudios.com.

2. Can someone other than a Legacy Studios photographer take my senior portrait?

Yes, there are several photographers in town that collaborate with MHS in providing senior portraits who are familiar with the yearbook portrait requirements, however it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU HAVE A PORTRAIT TAKEN WITH LEGACY, to ensure that we have a portrait for you on file, even if you plan on using an outside photographer.

If you prefer to use a photographer who is not familiar with the MHS Yearbook portrait requirements, please have them email the yearbook advisor directly at  mhsyearbook@mpsdnj.us. If you or your photographer have questions about the requirements for senior portraits, please refer to the  following question.

3. What are the requirements for senior portraits?

4. What's the best way to submit my own photos?

If you are submitting baby photos, candid photos or senior portraits taken by outside photographers who are not regular collaborators with MHS Yearbook, the best way to ensure that the Yearbook staff receives your images is to upload them directly through the Jostens ReplayIt Image Portal. Simply click the link and enter the UserID: 06KuSYqWDhMuIbWUwb64DeQ  to access the portal. *(Please note that submitting photos other than senior portraits, does not guarantee that they will be used in the yearbook). *Photos taken by Legacy and local photographers familiar with our process, are submitted directly to the yearbook on your behalf.
 

5. What is the deadline for submitting photos and/or senior quote?

We have different submission deadlines for photos based on our yearbook deadlines. The following dates are for reference only and may be subject to change. For the 2023-23 school year the deadlines are as follows:

• Senior Portraits – end of the school day on January 23rd

• Throwback/Baby Photos – December 22nd

• Last First Day Photos– December 22nd
  
  

6. How do I confirm that my portrait has been submitted to the yearbook?

All student portraits taken by Legacy and most of our local vendors are submitted directly to the yearbook advisor. Please DO NOT send an email requesting confirmation.

If you are using a private photographer, ask if they will deliver photos to the yearbook or provide you with photos to submit. If you need to submit a senior photo that was taken by a private photographer yourself, you must use this form.

7. What is the User ID for the Jostens ReplayIt Private Photo submission site?

The User ID for all MHS users is:  06KuSYqWDhMuIbWUwb64DeQ (Copying and pasting recommended!)

9. Is there a limit to how long my senior quote can be?

Yes! Senior quotes should not exceed 144 characters. We can reduce the font size to accommodate quotes that are slightly longer, but legibility  and the unity of our design suffer when we reduce font sizes on our pages.

10. How do I submit my graduation information like name on diploma, name pronunciation, cap & gown size, etc.?

You can submit all of your graduation information by using the "Graduation Prep Form" link once it becomes active in the section below. This usually occurs sometime in the spring.
