Senior Portraits - Yearbook
Senior Portraits - YearbookOver the past several years, for various
reasons, more and more students have expressed discomfort with being compelled to choose the traditional tuxedo or cape as their yearbook photo.
In order to remain an inclusive community, sensitive to the needs of all, we will be allowing students to choose their own formal wear for their photos.
Senior Portraits - YearbookEach photo shoot will consist of 3 different
poses:
1. the required yearbook photo
(personal formal wardrobe)
2. the “cap and gown” photo;
3. a choice between a casual photo or a “tux/drape” photo (provided by the studio)
Senior Portraits - Yearbook
Males: a shirt, tie, and jacket. The studio will have a few jackets on hand for those who may not own one.
Females: a nice top, appropriate for a formal yearbook photo. (A blouse or dress is fine.)
