SENIOR PICTURES
Formal, casual, and baby photos are due by November 20th. This is a hard deadline. Students who do not submit required photos by November 20th may not be included in the corresponding senior sections of the yearbook.
Formal
Photos may be submitted either by the student using a private photographer or by using Walton’s official school photographer, CADY. They must be professional photos to be included in the formal section. We prefer that you use CADY for the formal picture. Using Cady is the only way your photo will be changed in ParentVue/StudentVue, and it is the only way you will get a student ID. If you use CADY, the cost for the simple session (basic package) is $29 to Cady when you book your session to take the formal for the yearbook. If you only want the simple session for the yearbook photo, do not select any additional packages or add-ons. You do not have to purchase photos from CADY for your yearbook photo to be submitted to Walton. They will send all of the senior photographs at one time based on my due date to them. You do not need to double submit, and we will contact the student if we are missing a photo. If you use a private photographer, please ask the photographer to submit the picture to the yearbook by uploading the picture directly to the website given below. To be included in the formal senior section, photos must be taken in the traditional drape or tux/suit with a blue background.
To sign up for a session with CADY, please go to cady.com/schedule. CADY will not be photographing at Walton for seniors during the school year. You will need to go to CADY’s studio to be photographed. If you have any questions or trouble scheduling, please feel free to call CADY directly at 678-722-3449.
Casual and Baby Pictures
You may choose to have casual pictures taken by a photographer of your choice or CADY. However, you do not have to use a professional photo for your casual photo. I would recommend not choosing a zoomed out shot. Due to the size of the picture in the yearbook, it will be difficult to see your senior’s face. photos should be of only your child, and the typical age range is newborn to kindergarten. Please only submit one casual photo and one baby photo. We will choose for you if you submit more than one photo. Please turn in the picture directly to Walton via the methods described below.
Submitting Photos
Go https://yearbookshare.com and enter code 26620. You will then be able to upload formal, casual, and baby photos if needed. Do not upload CADY photos; CADY submits those directly to us. Please only submit one photo for each category. Only upload photos if you do not want to use the CADY photo. If you do not want to use the CADY casual photo, please upload your preferred casual photo. Uploaded photos will always take priority over photos submitted by CADY. Pictures cannot be accepted via email.
If you have any questions, please contact Kaitlin Mason, Yearbook Advisor, at Kaitlin.Mason@cobbk12.org
