Important Senior Portrait Information
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of the Class of 2023,
We hope that you are excited for the end of the school year and warmer weather. The yearbook staff is already beginning its work on the 2023 yearbook, and this includes planning for senior portraits. Please carefully review all of this information and contact us with any questions.
Senior Portraits: Steady Photography is our official yearbook photographer. Please note the following important details about senior portraits:
- You will schedule the photography session on your own. You can do so at
www.steadyphotography.com
- There will be two photography dates at Daniel Hand over the summer -
July 27 and August 18.
- There are two options for sessions when photographed at school. One is the free session where four photos are taken strictly for yearbook purposes; the other is a $30 session with multiple backgrounds, you will receive eight to ten proofs.
- Early Bird Special: Steady Photography will add a complimentary outdoor pose on school grounds for all seniors photographed on July 27.
- There are additional options for portrait packages. Steady Photography is
local - 540 East Main Street in Branford. The company offers portrait
sessions at its studio, outdoors, and even at a location of your choosing.
Availability fills up quickly, so book early.
- Any senior not photographed prior to the start of school will have his/her
portrait taken at school (the aforementioned free option) during our regular
school photo day (Wednesday, September 14). This helps us achieve our
goal of having all seniors pictured in the yearbook.
- Steady Photography is our official photographer. The yearbook does
not accept portrait submissions from any other photographers.
Please see this flyer for more information.
Portrait Pose Selection: You will receive photo proofs via an online gallery and must select one for the yearbook. The yearbook pose must have a gray background. You are, of course, free to purchase any of the pictures, but this specification is for yearbook purposes. You must make this selection by Friday, October 7. If a pose is not chosen by that point, the yearbook advisors will select one for you.
Stay tuned for further communication in the fall regarding yearbooks, parent/guardian ads, superlatives, quotes, and more.
Have a safe, happy, and healthy summer!
