What Is a Formal Senior Portrait?

A formal senior portrait is the traditional image used in your school’s yearbook. These portraits follow the classic drape and tux style, photographed in a clean, timeless way that meets school yearbook requirements.

All attire and backgrounds are provided on site and meet school yearbook requirements, ensuring consistency and compliance with school guidelines.

When & Where

Senior portraits will take place at Belleville High School in the Media Room from January 12–16, with appointments available between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM. Your selected appointment time will be confirmed after booking.

Scheduling Your Session

All senior portraits must be scheduled in advance using our online booking link. Payment is required at the time of booking to reserve your appointment.

Once scheduled, you will receive a confirmation email and text message, along with a reminder 24 hours before your session.

Arrival & Check-In

Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow time to check in and change, if needed. Late arrivals may need to be rescheduled based on remaining availability due to the day’s schedule.

What to Wear & What's Provided

We provide all required traditional drape, tuxedo, and cap & gown attire, along with the appropriate backdrop that meets yearbook requirements.

• Ladies: Please wear or bring a tank top or strapless top. A black drape will be provided.
• Gentlemen: Please arrive wearing a t-shirt. A tuxedo top and tie will be provided. (Please avoid hoodies or sweatshirts.)
  

Students should arrive camera-ready. Personal props are not permitted.

Hair, Makeup & Grooming

Hair and makeup should be fully done prior to arrival. Due to the limited session time, additional styling should be completed before check-in.

During the Session

Our photographers will capture a series of classic, traditional poses during the session. Images will be available to view and order 2–3 weeks after the session.

How Ordering Works

There is no purchase required on portrait day. Ordering will take place online once images are ready. Ordering details will be shared by the school.
