Senior Pictures in the Yearbook | Houston Senior Photographers

If you want senior pictures in the yearbook, I recommend booking your senior photographer as soon as possible. Although some high schools allow outside senior photographers, others require you to use their photographer. I went over the best time to take your senior photos in another post. 

Firstly, most of the time when you book the school’s senior photographer, your senior pictures will look like everyone else’s. For some reason, I’ve never seen a standard yearbook picture that has a “wow” factor. With that being said, a lot of times, seniors come to me when they’re wanting more personalized and modern senior portraits. 

In my opinion, convenience is one of the only real benefits to taking senior pictures in the yearbook with your school’s required photographer. Again, not all schools have a required photographer, but a lot of the larger schools with 800+ senior students do. 

Even though some schools restrict who can take your senior pictures in the yearbook that lists your classmates alphabetically, they’ll still allow you to submit your own senior photos as an ad. This is great if you or your parents want to leave a special message. 

Additionally, you can use your personalized senior pictures to: 

• Send as a gift to family and friends
• Share on social media
• and other ways to show off your senior portraits. 

Summary: Senior Pictures in the Yearbook

In closing, senior pictures in the yearbook aren’t as hard as it seems. You’ll either have a required senior photographer appointed by your school, or you’ll be able to choose your own. If you want to stand out from the crowd or have senior photos that show your interests, you should book a senior photographer! You can always add your custom senior pictures to your yearbook as an ad, or you can use it with one of the other ways I listed above.
