CLASS PHOTOS

 

We would like your child in the portrait section of the yearbook.  You have two 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. 

 

NOTE:  NO PHOTO PACKAGES WILL BE MADE OF THESE, NOR WILL WE SEND THESE TO ANYONE.  THEY WILL GO DIRECTLY INTO THE YEARBOOK PORTRAIT SECTION. 

 

Note:  You could make your own package using your own digital photo through Shutterfly, Wal-Mart, CVS, etc. Example of package from Wal-Mart:  Standard Package consists of one 8 s 10 photo, two 5 x 7 photos, and sixteen wallet-sized prints on two 8 x 10 sheets:  $6.82

 

The link to upload photos, instructions and password will be emailed to each member.   If you have not received this information, contact Yearbook@CHESF.org

 

 

OPTION #2

PORTRAITS TAKEN BY LIFETOUCH STUDIO AT OCTOBER 11TH CHESF MEETING   

 

They now use digital cameras, and you can immediately see results.  Pre-pay at time of photo shoot. Price should be $40.00 per package or $13.00 per sheet.  Packages will be delivered to your home!  If you get package and do not like photo, you can return them (to Lifetouch) and receive refund of payment.  Send an e-mail to yearbook@CHESF.org to let us know you had them taken.  We will confirm that we received your e-mail.  This will help us make sure no photo gets lost as has happened before.

THIS IS THE ONLY LIFETOUCH STUDIO APPOINTMENT!  IF YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS, SEND US A PICTURE WITH ABOVE DIRECTIONS.

 

 

          ATTENTION:  HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

 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

bullet

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.

bullet

For large groups, try to position subjects on different levels, rather than all subjects in one line.

bullet

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

v      Send 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! 

v      Unique 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.),  

v      Send 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.

v      CHESF 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)
