· Must be a formal headshot, school appropriate photograph.
· Boy's Formal shot= jacket, tie, shoulders up photo, no hats
· Girl's Formal shot= drape/conservativelyformal shoulder up photo
· Make your appointments NOW. Photographers are expecting you!!! Keep in mind that proofs and final prints take a while to process!!!
· IF your senior portrait is not delivered to Red Land by Friday, October 1, 2021,your photograph WILL NOT appear in the yearbook. This is not an arbitrary deadline.
· Camera Box is our unofficial official school photographer: You pick your proof for the yearbook, and they WILL be delivered directly to us. (No need to email me or
confirm.) The sitting fee for Camera Box is $25, which includes the portrait session and a photo for the yearbook. You are not required to purchase photos to get your formal portrait in the yearbook.

Note: If you call after August 1st to make an appointment, you are already on the
late side of scheduling. Camera Box will be offering “last chance” nights in September
(photos will be scheduled either 5 minutes or 10 minutes apart.) Greg Starner, Nancy Zimmerman, and Fine Art also deliver portraits to us, and like Camera Box, they help us by sharing their amazing photography with the yearbook staff. You are not required to go these photographers, but doing so guarantees delivery (yes, they know our deadlines) and ensures that your photograph blends well within the senior section of the book. Doing so also supports our community businesses who support our school.
· If you neglect to get your senior picture taken, we are NOT able to use your “school photo” taken for your ID. These photos will not be used since they are not available until after the deadline for the senior portrait section.
· Black and white photographs, as well as photographs with dark backgrounds or extreme contrast will appear to be different from the photos in the rest of the senior section---we will not be responsible for the way that your photograph looks in the book if you choose to get your formal portrait taken with these circumstances.

Finally, if we do not have a senior portrait by September 20th, we will call the home # listed in PowerSchool to make sure that it hasn’t been missed. We truly want everyone to be pictured in the book and will make every effort to ensure that it happens.
If you feel that you cannot afford to get a senior portrait taken, please reach out to us. We want every senior to be featured in the book. We cannot provide you with photographs, but we can arrange for a portrait sitting that will allow us to print a formal portrait in the yearbook.
Have a wonderful summer.
