Senior Portrait Guidelines

We encourage ALL SENIORS to use the school provided photographer for senior portraits, Upstate Images, as they are aware of all of Orchard Park High School’s requirements for senior portraits. For questions about Upstate Images, please contact customerservice@upstate-images.com or 855-773-3321




Senior Portraits are scheduled to be taken during the summer: August 9th, August 12th - 16th  8:30am to 3:00pm

Senior Portrait Make-Ups will be September 26th


Upstate Images provides all OPHS seniors with the following: 

• Free retouching if portraits are chosen by deadline (October 27, 2023) 

• Free digital submission of your portrait to the OPHS Yearbook

Upstate Images will be sending more information home over the summer


Should you choose to use another photographer, be advised that we require the following: 

• A professional portrait

• A color portrait: no black and white, sepia, etc.

• Blue, grey or earth tone SOLID backgrounds (no graphics, no outdoor shots/scenes, etc.)

• A traditional head & shoulders shot facing the camera (no sitting poses with legs visible, no props, no hats, no sideways poses, etc.)

• Dress code: If you do not follow this dress code, you will not be pictured! 

o Absolutely no hats 

o Business Casual Attire is minimally required (no t-shirts, no tank tops, no strapless shirts). You are welcome to wear more formal attire (suit, tux, drape) if you prefer. 

• Please submit photo in the highest resolution possible 

• Portrait size should be equivalent to print dimensions of 2.25” x 3.00” and head size not exceeding 1 1⁄4” from top of head to chin


If your portrait does not meet ANY of the aforementioned requirements, it will not be printed in the yearbook. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS. A professional photographer will be able to meet these requirements, but it is your responsibility to tell your photographer the requirements for the yearbook. Your photographer may contact the yearbook advisors at 209-6381 or OPHSYearbook@opschools.org with any questions regarding meeting these specifications. Please be advised that the yearbook advisors will not be checking voicemail/email over the summer.
