Requirements for Log Yearbook Senior Portraits

Every year, the Log yearbook publishes portraits of seniors in the graduating class. In order to ensure the best picture possible is printed, the Log crew has established a set of guidelines for the pictures. All images submitted should be:

  • Professional quality yearbook head shot/waist-up photo (no selfies, passport photos, etc.)
  • Head should be facing forward and straight on (no profile angles)
  • Background must be solid, neutral or non-distracting
  • Color photo, no black and white
  • No props or accessories in the photo (sports equipment, pets, boats, bouquets, etc.)
  • No hands/arms near the face (head propped on, folded hands, etc.)
  • “Business casual” dress is strongly suggested: button-up shirt, polo shirt, turtleneck, sweater, blouse, or dress.
  • 300 dpi resolution or larger, at least 2.5”l x 3.5”h
  • Vertical orientation
  • JPEG files only, no PDFs

We reserve the right to request a new photo from you if your submission does not adhere to the guidelines. For more questions, The Log yearbook advisor Wendy Staples can be reached at thelog@williston.com.
