SENIOR PHOTO SUBMISSION for 2020-2021 School Year
Senior Photos were due Tuesday, December 1, 2020
If you miss the deadline due to rescheduled photo shoots or just missed the reminders throughout the school year, please upload a candid photo of your student that meets the following requirements ASAP. If you have a professional or more formal shot later this winter, you can still upload it and we'll include it if the portrait pages have not yet been submitted to the yearbook printer. If you do not submit a photo, we will use last year's Lifetouch photo or, if they do not have a photo on file, they will be listed by name only. If you need help finding a discount or no-charge photographer, please contact [email protected]
Seniors, parents or photographers should submit their senior photos via the Herff Jones website www.hjeshare.com. Instructions for uploading can be found here.
Senior Photo Requirements:
- Photos must be HEAD SHOTS from the chest up with the full head in view. Full body or 3/4 shots will be cropped to fit specifications and could result in a low-quality image.
- Full color (No black and white or sepia tones)
- In focus and only lightly edited
- Vertical orientation, NOT horizontal and NOT square. Please do not submit tilted photos.
- Face should be well lit and fully visible. Eyes should be looking at the camera. Avoid dark shadows or dappled shadows across the face. Hats and hoodies that obscure the student’s recognizable features are discouraged.
- Photos should only contain the senior (no friends, pets, props, etc.)
- No selfies
- Your photographer should make sure they are shooting high resolution photos. Images should be submitted as JPEG files at 300 dpi resolution. (File sizes over 8MB may be difficult to upload.)
- BEFORE UPLOADING, rename your file "Last name First name 2021.jpg." (Example: "Smith Joaquin 2021.jpg")
- Upload the photo to www.hjeshare.com. Our school account is: skostorm (If you are having trouble with the uploader, please email the photo and student name directly to [email protected])
All requirements for the photo must be met. If they are not, the student’s school ID photo will be used, or - if no photo is available- the student will only be listed by name. The actual use of your submitted photo is at the discretion of the yearbook adviser and staff. Individuality is a-okay, but offensive or low-quality photos will not be used.
