Fall Pictures
The school will select the background to be used for the yearbook and / or Id cards.
Before Picture Day, flyers will be sent home showing the background(s) selected. Parents can choose their background color and then select clothing that will go
well with it.

Spring Pictures
All of the following rules apply to spring pictures. If your school has chosen a U Pick A Pose program, make sure that the students hand are trimmed and clean.

Clothing
Wear solid colors or subtle patterns that will complement the background selected. Large stripes, loud patterns and large jewelry can detract from the face.
Avoid shirts with slogans. This photo will be on your Id cards all year.

Hair
It is best not to try a new style for your portraits. A style that you are comfortable with will help you relax. If a haircut is necessary, try to schedule it one or two weeks before your photo session. Remember to bring a comb or brush for a quick touch-up before being photographed.

Skin
Avoid sunburn or excessive tanning, make your look natural. Sunless tanning can appear orange under photographic lights. Don’t worry about blemishes and breakouts, they can be retouched.
Do not eat or drink foods with a lot of artificial color. This can come off on the teeth and lips and would need to retouched to remove.

Girls
Keep your make-up natural. Do not attempt to achieve a tan with make-up. This usually results in an un-natural look that you will not be happy with. Our photographic artists will remove blemishes, dark circles and smooth the skin before the final portraits are printed. Birth marks and scars are minimized but not removed unless requested.

Boys
Depending on the age, a neat trim or shave may be necessary. Our photographic artists will remove blemishes, dark circles and smooth the skin before the final portraits are printed. Birth marks and scars are minimized but not removed unless requested.

Glasses
If you wear glasses, wear them in your portraits. Our photographers are trained to watch for glass glare. If necessary we will take a shot of the student without glasses to use for digital retouching that perfect shot printed.

Remember to bring a brush, comb and make-up to freshen up between clothing changes.
