2021 TJHSST SENIOR PORTRAIT SPECIFICATIONS

We will be holding senior portrait sittings at TJHSST for the Class of 2021. You should have received an email from Prestige Portraits (a branch of LifeTouch, our official photographer), with instructions for scheduling an appointment. Here are our current dates:

• 11/10 – 11/13, 3:30pm – 9pm
• 12/5 – 9am – 3:30pm
• 12/12 – 9am – 3:30pm
• 12/19 – 9am – 3:30pm

You will schedule directly with Prestige Portraits, not with Ms. Harris.

DRESS: FCPS has decided that seniors WILL NOT be allowed to use the shared tuxes and drapes that used to be provided by Prestige. As a result, the TJ yearbook staff has decided that students may wear whatever they like, provided that the dress is more formal in nature. Solid colored dress shirts/tops work well for the camera; jackets and ties are optional. YOU DEFINITELY DO NOT NEED TO RENT SPECIAL CLOTHING. Here are some samples for outfit ideas:

Please understand that the “no shared clothing” rule is FCPS policy, not Prestige Portraits or TJHSST.

POSE: Head and shoulder shots ONLY. Hands should not be visible. No hats. No sport team logos. No props (i.e. sport equipment, toys, wigs, benches, chairs, etc.).

APPROXIMATE SIZE: The printed photo will be approximately 1 ^3/8” wide by 1 ^5/8” long. The head size is approximately 1” from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin.

FOR THIS YEAR ONLY: If you are uncomfortable traveling to TJ for your senior portrait for any reason, you are more than welcome to submit your own senior portrait. More information on how to submit coming in November. If you plan to take your own portrait, please make sure the photos meet the same specifications listed above.

DEADLINE: The yearbook staff must receive all photographs by January 8 in order for the picture to be included in the yearbook. Photos that do not fulfill the above requirements (including the submission deadline) will NOT be accepted.
