Niskayuna also likes the students to submit a traditional, black drape or jacket photo for the yearbook&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;\u00a0\u00a0 well THAT&#8217;S JUST NOT ANY FUN!\u00a0\u00a0 When you inquire with the yearbook committees they&#8217;ll tell you , that bottom line is&#8230; It&#8217;s easy &#8211; they get an alphabetized disc from the studio they hold a contract with &#8211; and can upload it right into their program for the yearbook layout.\u00a0 It often is possible to submit a non-studio shot &#8211; &#8211; but it doesn&#8217;t come without a penalty.\u00a0 Students who opt for that route generally get listed in random order, at the very end of the class photos.\u00a0 Crazy if you ask me !\u00a0 So how do you work around that?\u00a0 My suggestion to families, is go sit for the 5 minutes in the black drape or jacket &#8211; pick your headshot for the yearbook &#8211; and leave it at that.\u00a0 Schedule your own pictures for the portraits you really want, they really want &#8211; and celebrate this upcoming senior year with some very cool, unique portraits!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been preaching for years, that this is such an incredible time for a student &#8211; when they really start to figure out who they are &#8211; and many are getting ready to leave home for the college experience in the coming year.\u00a0\u00a0 My philosophy&#8230; capture them &#8211; who they are, what they love, their interests, their hobbies, their fashion!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.geninegullickson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Emiily2-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-763\" title=\"Emiily2 web\" src=\"http:\/\/www.geninegullickson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Emiily2-web-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.geninegullickson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Emily1-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-764\" title=\"Emily1 web\" src=\"http:\/\/www.geninegullickson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Emily1-web-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>The student in these pictures, is a Junior at Niskayuna &#8211;
