Important Class of 2024 Senior Portrait
and Yearbook Information
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of the Class of 2024,
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 2024 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. Book your appointment beginning June 1!
- There will be two photography dates at Daniel Hand over the summer - July 18 and August 9.
- 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, and you will receive eight to ten proofs.
- Early Bird Special: If you select the "at school basic" package
($30) and book a session for July, your senior will get
photographed in a second outfit free of charge.
- New this year - You can add a cap and gown session to the "at school basic" package. Note that these photographs are for personal use only and cannot be used in the yearbook.
- 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 seniors not photographed prior to the start of school will have their portraits taken at school (the aforementioned free option) during our regular school photo day (Thursday, 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 Monday, October 9. If a pose is not chosen by that point, the yearbook advisors will select one for you.
An Exciting Change for (Senior) Yearbook Ordering
Starting this fall, the cost of senior yearbooks will be added to student fees on Infinite Campus. This means that you will just have to pay, and we will take care of the actual order for you. All senior books will be personalized, too! This change will streamline the ordering process and allow us to ensure that every student gets a book. We will send out details about the cost and process for personalizing the books in the fall. Note that this only applies to books for seniors; if you have students in other grades and wish to purchase books for them, you will need to do so through Jostens.
Stay tuned for further communication in the fall regarding yearbooks, parent/guardian ads, superlatives, quotes, and more.
Have a safe, happy, and healthy summer!
