Seniors: it’s time to pose for that cap and gown photo that your parents will hang on the wall for the rest of their lives.

The first session of senior portraits will be happening Sept. 3 – 5. Seniors must sign up for an appointment by Aug. 29, which is Friday during the first week of school. To sign-up for an appointment, go online to the Akins Yearbook Sign-up Genius page.

First Photo Student Portraits will be taking cap and gown, tux or drape, and one casual portrait for each student. The photography company will provide the tux/drape as well as the cap and gown. There is a required $5 sit fee that goes toward supporting the yearbook. Students who do not pay the sit fee will not be able to take cap and gown or casual portraits.

Only photos taken by First Photo Student Portraits will be used in the 2015 Akins yearbook.

Another Senior Portrait session will happen Oct. 7 – 9 and retakes will happen on Nov. 5.
