Photographer’s Yearbook Tips:

• Practice styling your hair and be aware of stray hairs (fly aways). They will show up in your portrait.
• Avoid makeup products that contain “bronzing, “glow” or glitter as they will make your face appear oily.
• When choosing your outfit, keep in mind you will be photographed against a blue background. We recommend solid colored clothing rather than prints or patterns as they are better clothing options for your portrait.
