Seniors

Senior Photo Day includes a special creative portrait just for seniors — your chance to show personality and have fun with it.

  • Dress how you want — your outfit can be stylish, meaningful, really silly, or totally fun. Costumes and creative ideas are welcome!

  • School-appropriate attire is required and must follow school guidelines.

  • Arrive fully dressed and ready for your creative photo.

  • Come with a vision — think about the look, pose, or vibe you want so we can bring it to life.

This is your moment to celebrate who you are — make it memorable and uniquely you.

Frequently Asked QUESTIONS

  • Picture day should be fun and stress-free! Make sure your child arrives at school on time and ready for photos on their scheduled day. Please avoid using zinc-based sunscreens, as they can appear white and chalky in photos. A clear or non-whitening sunscreen is a better choice for picture day.

  • We recommend solid colors or simple patterns, as busy prints or logos can be distracting in photos. Most importantly, let your child wear something they feel confident and comfortable in!

  • Absolutely! No more guessing what your child’s photo will look like before ordering. You’ll be able to view all the images in your private gallery first, and only order what you LOVE.

  • After picture day, you'll receive an email with a link to your student's private, password-protected online gallery. From there, you can view your photos and order photo packages, individual prints, digital files, and fun photo gifts—all shipped directly to your home.
