Q: What do I need to wear for my senior portrait?

A: Depends on the package you select! For the formal yearbook photo, you have the choice between tuxedo and drape. For drape: wear a strapless or spaghetti tank top where the straps can be pulled down the shoulders. For tuxedo: wear a plain white t-shirt. Don’t worry about the bottoms because they will not be seen in the formal portrait.

For casual photos: you can pick what outfit you wish to wear. Props are allowed as long as they are school appropriate and adhere to school policy.

 

Q: What should a formal yearbook portrait look like?

A: All portraits must be of professional quality. The yearbook reserves the right to refuse portraits if they do not meet the quality necessary to be published in the yearbook. Formal portraits should have a professional blue background and include tuxedo or drape.
