options this year.
OPTION #1
Please take
a digital photo of your child against a plain wall (light to medium color in
background is best). We need from about waist up to top of head, leaving
a little space above the head so we have room to crop. We
will need these uploaded to your family folder in the Webease program
on-line.
Our CHESF
photographers will be available at all CHESF meetings to do this for
you if you prefer.

PACKAGES WILL BE MADE OF THESE, NOR WILL WE SEND THESE TO ANYONE.
THEY WILL GO DIRECTLY INTO THE YEARBOOK PORTRAIT SECTION.

your own digital photo through Shutterfly, Wal-Mart, CVS, etc. Example

CANDID PHOTO SUBMISSION
Digital photos:
Rather than
forwarding your photos via e-mail or mail, you will be
uploading photos directly into our yearbook Webease program.
Please follow
these instructions provided. (If you have not received
instructions and password, contact
Yearbook@CHESF.org
Please Note:
1 - Do NOT crop your photo before uploading. We will
crop, if necessary in the Webease program.
2 - You do not have to label the photo until it is in your
family folder. But once it is uploaded into your
family folder, you can put a longer description (i.e. name
and activity.)
We are looking for
pictures of your vacations, educational activities, Co-op,
4-H, CHESF events, sports and a group family photo.
The yearbook staff
desires to be good stewards of our time. This year
after each CHESF event, we are asking each member to please
upload pictures taken at the event into their family folder.
We will have a deadline for photo submissions for the
activity. We will contact members thru CHESFchatter
with updates and timelines for submission of photos.
THANK YOU for
helping create the 2010 - 2011 CHESF "Footprints" Yearbook
CANDID PHOTO
GUIDELINES
To ensure the best
photocopy image, please keep in mind these tips when taking candid photos:
COMPOSITION
Zoom in on the
subject. Many photos are cropped by the staff and then reduced to fit a
layout. If the subject is too small, it is hard to identify the person. While
the subject doesn’t have to fill the frame, try to crop out excess scenery.
Balance is the key word. If in doubt, submit it anyway. The staff will make
the call.
For large groups, try
to position subjects on different levels, rather than all subjects in one line.
Try
taking a "not totally centered" photo. Take the
picture with directed interest such as: instead of
being directly centered have the interest/subject of the
photo off center and to the right, or down and diagonally to
the left.
SUBMISSIONS
vSend us a mixture of
group and individual shots of your child’s activities. We love to see the
students highlighted in their individual fine arts classes and performances, 4H
clubs, coops, on field trips, during discover learning process, awards, with
friends, schooling, and daily life. Our families are involved in some wonderful
opportunities. Share your experiences!
vUnique shots are
appealing. Send in the extraordinary. We love to “connect the dots” and find
commonality in photos to produce a layout. (i.e. kids
in sunglasses, hats, dress up, outdoor sports and activities, field trip action
shots (museums, statues, etc.),
vSend CO-OP shots.
They make wonderful group shots with several students in one activity. Contact
the CHESF yearbook advisor about reserving a full page devoted to your coop.
vCHESF members in the
photos receive first preference when making selections for the layouts.
v
We need a Family photo of each CHESF family.
"May He
grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. May we
shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in
the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers. (Psalm
20:4-5 NLT)
