Important Dress Code Information

Your high school suggests the following for all yearbook photographs.  Please follow your school dress code guidelines.

Dress code for school photos

  • No hats.
  • No sunglasses or anything that hides or alters your face.
  • No clothing featuring vulgarity or school inappropriate imagery.
  • Dressing your best is encouraged but formal wear is not required.

Things to remember for good portraits

  • Solid color clothing looks best.
  • Tops with thin or clear straps are not recommended as they can make you look like you’re not wearing clothes depending on how the photo is cropped.
  • Avoid bronzers and highlighters to reduce excessive shine when photographed.
  • The photographers will not comment on your attire or appearance, they will just take your photo.  Please make sure to follow the dress code and check your own appearance to avoid needing retakes.
  • Most importantly, wear what you feel confident and comfortable in!

Glasses

  • We try our best to photograph you with your glasses and avoid glass glare.  However, we recommend alternative options such as wearing empty frames or contacts.  This recommendation is to help avoid any extra retouching costs.
