Yearbook Photos

DEADLINE: Friday, October 10, 2025

Submission Information

Hello Class of '26!

Just a reminder that the yearbook staff will need your senior portraits submitted by October 10. Please click here for the specific instructions.

Photo Requirements

Acceptable Photos

  1. Photos must be a vertical orientation from the waist up.  Horizontal portraits will be cropped to fit; full-body shots may be cropped to the correct size. Trust me - vertical and upper ½ of the body looks the best.
  2. Headshots are to be approximately 1.25 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. 
  3. Nothing objectionable/illegal will be accepted. (Ex: any kind of weapons, beer shirt, etc.)   
  4. The yearbook adviser reserves the right to refuse a photo based on appropriateness or quality of the photo. Please do not take a picture of a picture – the quality is too low.

Example of an acceptable photo: (upper ½ of the body, head takes up upper ⅓ of photo)

NOT Acceptable Photos

  1. Selfies, glamour shots, social media style shots

  2. Soft focus or out of focus shots, or heavily filtered

  3. Visible underwear 

  4. Photos with hard shadows across the face. If a hat is worn, the entire face must be clear and both eyes should be visible and facing forward. 

  5. Sunglasses or objects that obscure the student’s face.  

  6. Photos that are too bright or too dark may not be accepted, or may be edited

We want every senior’s photo included in the yearbook.  It is important that the quality of your student’s image meets the printing standards set by our publishing company.  In order to meet the deadline, students will need to have their photos taken over the summer or early fall.  If you do not submit a professional photo, or do not meet the photo requirements, the student’s school photo from Dorian will be substituted.
