Senior Dates and Yearbook Deadline Info

Senior Portrait Dates for all schools are during the summer and usually during the months of September, October and sometimes November.

Your school's actual dates are established based on the yearbook deadline and other production requirements which we will receive from the school in September.

We encourage seniors to take their picture as early as possible as the senior year is always a very busy one in the life of a student. Bottom line: DO NOT PANIC. We will be back to your school for several series of appointments between now and your school's yearbook deadline.

Check back often for new dates for your school but get yours taken sooner rather than later. You'll be glad you did.
