I did not get my picture taken at Prestige Portraits. What do I do to get my picture in the yearbook?

This is a common issue. If you did not have your senior photo taken at Prestige Portraits, you can still submit a photo to put into the yearbook. However, your senior portrait is due on or BEFORE November 15, 2013. NO EXCEPTIONS. We will use your junior photo if no alternate photo is submitted by the deadline.

What is the deadline for sending my senior portrait to the staff?

If you took your pictures with Prestige Portraits you are required to specify which pose you would like in the yearbook by November 15, 2013. If you fail do so, the photo that the Lab selects as the best photo in the session will be submitted. However, if you choose to take your photos with a different photographer, the final retouched file is due by NOVEMBER 15, 2013 or we will use your JUNIOR PICTURE. Keep in mind that in order to meet these deadlines, you will need to take the pictures at least 3 weeks BEFORE this date in order for the photographer to meet this deadline. This is why Prestige Portraits contacted you so early this past summer to take your photos.

Finally - please choose a head and shoulders shot of you. We need to see your face in the photo - so no shots with sunglasses or other props that make your face impossible to see. Thanks for your cooperation on this.

We also strongly discourage editing or "photoshopping" images on your own. The quality of the image will be compromised. Please submit a full color version of your photo.

What if I want my name embossed on the front, or foil icons how do I order those items?

This is only available to those students who ordered early with Lifetouch so PLEASE do not delay. Look for First Line Personalization. If you missed the deadline and did not order your personalization,unfortunately, you are not going to be able to get the embossed cover. Click here to go to Lifetouch site to order. Additionally, you can add up to 4 foil icons. Click here for your icon options to choose from for 2014.

How do I submit my senior paragraph? When is it due?

If you choose to not use the form available on this website, please type your senior paragraph in Word document saved as your first and last name and email it to the yearbook advisor .

SORRY, WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY HANDWRITTEN SENIOR PARAGRAPHS.
