Carmelite Yearbook
Class of 2012 Senior Picture Information
As the end of your junior year draws to a close, it’s time to start planning for an important senior event – your senior portrait. In order to present all students in a uniform and equitable manner, certain guidelines have been established for submitted senior portraits. A clean, crisp photograph taken by a professional photographer must be submitted. All students must follow the specifications listed below.
SPECIFICATIONS
Poses
The photo should be composed as a formal head-and-shoulders shot. Students shall be conservatively posed, full front or slightly to the side. Both eyes must be visible. No hats or props are permitted. No hands and arms are to be visible.
Background
A standard blue/gray studio backgrounds only. No scenic backgrounds are permitted. No busy or distracting backgrounds.
Apparel
Boys – A dress shirt and tie will be the only type of clothing permitted. Headwear, of any kind may not be worn.
Girls - Long sleeves are preferred. Modest necklines are required. Spaghetti straps, tank tops, or any top that shows shoulders, logos larger than 1” or any print deemed inappropriate, and headwear of any kind, will not be permitted.
Clothing can be provided for those students who are getting their picture taken by Impressions.
Color
Submit color photos, not black and white. Color photos may be changed to black and white, if necessary.
It is your responsibility to make sure your photographer follows the specifications listed above.
If you need further clarification of what is appropriate for your senior yearbook portrait, please e-mail

Note: Photographs that do not adhere to these guidelines will not be published in the yearbook. Final decisions will be made by the yearbook adviser in consultation with the administration.
Students will also have the option of getting their picture taken in school one day next fall. This photo will be provided to the yearbook at no cost to you. No senior will be left out of the yearbook for financial reasons or because you are simply not interested in purchasing a yearbook.
