PHOTOGRAPHY SHOULD START 8:30am or 9:00am – Photography ends usually before 12:00pm
Best days to schedule your photos is on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday – Monday students forget and Friday they’re ready to go home
Be sure there are no field trips, school wide events or testing on picture day – You want all the students available for pictures that day
Create a schedule – Go back and look at past yearbooks to get an idea of which clubs and administration photos you need to take. Ask the administration if there are any new clubs or if any have been discontinued.
Be sure all teachers, students and administration are aware of the date and time – Tell everyone as often as you can. Someone will forget.
Be sure everyone knows what you want them to wear on picture day – If your clubs wear a special outfit or uniform be sure they wear it on picture day
BEST AND FASTEST WAY WITH LEAST DISRUPTION
Ten minutes before the scheduled time call all clubs to the cafeteria and with the help of your volunteers arrange the clubs at tables. The photographer should call each club up to the camera and when the group is finished they can go back to class or sit with their next club for their photo. This process takes the least amount of time and has the least classroom disruption. Largest clubs will be photographed first.
Line up each group with the tallest student up front and the shortest student in the back.
Administration photos are usually taken in the front office. Have their desks prepared and makeup on and let them know you are on the way after the last club photo is taken.
Any missed club or administration photos can be taken by_______________ – Designate someone on the yearbook team to take any pictures you missed.
