How To Prepare For Photo Day
Parents, before your children leave for school on photo day, please remember to look them over and help them look their best. Faces that are clean and clothes that are stain-free will make for great photos!
Clothing
Neat and
simple.
Clothing is an important part of portrait photography. Simple is always a great choice. A well-fitting collared shirt, sweater, dress, or neat t-shirt are terrific options.
Glasses
Glasses are cool.
Glare is not.
Wearing glasses may result in glare and/or shadows on the face, and are difficult to retouch. Our photographers will do their best to try and avoid glare Please consider asking your child, if they're comfortable with it, to remove their glasses for at least one photo.
Hats
Avoid a bad
hair day.
Wearing a hat for even a short period of time before being photographed may result in "hathead”. This can be avoided if your child keeps their hat off until after their photos are taken.

What is a Student Data File?This is a file which is generated by your school administration software, and contains student information such as firstname, lastname, grade, division, and student#.
-
What is an ASCII file?An ASCII file is another name for a Student Data File (see above). It's a plain-text file, readable by all computer types and operating systems. It does not contain any formatting (ie. boldface, page breaks, etc.) except for carriage returns. "ASCII" (pronounced "ASS-key") stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
-
Who needs to do this?If you are requesting digital services, it is imperative that we receive information about your students in order for us to identify them. If we do not receive this information, we cannot produce digital services for your school.
-
When should we do this?We require your data file at least 10 days prior to your photo day. We appreciate that school administrators are extremely busy, particularly in the first weeks of school, but without this data we will not know the identities of the students and will not be able to produce the services that you have requested.
-
What if not all of the students have registered yet?If we receive a file with "most" of the students, we can work around it by manually adding those students on photo day. If we receive "no" information we cannot create any digital services.
