Soleil Life

School photos will be taken Sunday evening - Monday evening, Nov 3-4 at Co-op, with make-up options in Virginia Beach (3 miles from co-op) over Thanksgiving break, and the beginning of March 2025. 

Please find a photo sheet in your email, or at the photo booth, or at the front desk, or text 319-504-1460 to have this photo sheet sent digitally to your phone to print. Every child (and teacher) needs a photo sheet before your photo is taken. Please print names clearly on your photo sheet (one per child/adult) as this will be used for name spelling in yearbooks.

Please sign up for a time slot to have your photo taken by clicking the date/time below. Please note that Danelle will not be sitting at the photo booth during all 10 hours when there are not people signed up to be photographed. If you wish to have your photo taken, sign up for a time spot. Please cancel or change your time if something comes up and you cannot make your chosen time slot. 

 

Sunday, Nov 3 7:00-8:00pm

Monday, Nov 4 11:15-4:00pm

(not during worship/chapel 11:45-12:30)

​

Your child can leave any class briefly to have their photo taken, or take a photo just before or just after a class, or sign up for a time outside their class time. A helper will assist young children to leave/return to class but we *need* to know that you want them to step out of class beforehand. Include the class they are coming from in the notes when you sign up for a time slot, and/or email GlobalChristianYearbook@gmail.com or text 319-504-1460 if your child will be stepping out of class for their photo. School photos will take less than 5 minutes. 
 

School photos are $5 (sitting/editing/yearbook inclusion). Portraits will be used in the yearbook, unless you opt out. You have the option to purchase prints or digital portraits for your use on the photo sheet. All individuals being photographed need one of these sheets for name spelling as you would like names to appear in the yearbook, and parent/adult contact information. Return photo sheets with your child on the day of their picture, or to Danelle Frisbie's photo folder at the front desk. Your portrait order, or the $5 alone, can be prepaid per directions at the bottom of the sheet (Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, ApplePay, check/cash, etc.). Please fill out this sheet before your photo day. You can indicate on the photo sheet if you would like certain poses (full body, with a sibling, with mom, etc.) in addition to your yearbook portrait headshot.

​

If you prefer that your child take their school photo by stepping out of any class, email GlobalChristianYearbook@gmail.com or text 319-504-1460 before their photo day. An assistant will help young children leave their class briefly for their photo, and return. 

• This year's background is blue with gold. Background examples below. Additional examples and your photo proofs will be at GCC25.SoleilLife.org Password: 2025 
 

• Solid and deep colors for a shirt look best for these portraits (black, blue, gold, silver, deep pink, deep purple, deep green, etc.). Avoid "busy" prints, stripes, beige, white, and images/graphics/words. Only waist up is visible in yearbook photos. If you wear flip flops and shorts, or have messy hands and feet - no one will know! If you prefer that your child have a full-length photo taken for a second pose, with a sibling, instrument, pet, etc., please check this option on their photo sheet and write any notes you'd like on the sheet.
 

• Small items like a food spill, pimples, etc. will be edited out of your final photo before going to print (or before a digital is sent). If you have any area of concern, please make note of this on your photo sheet or share with Danelle, as she is skilled at editing photos for special requests.

• If none of the time slots work for your child, or you prefer a non-school day for photos, there are additional options in Virginia Beach over Thanksgiving week and in March. Email GlobalChristianYearbook@gmail.com or text 319-504-1460 for another day/time. ​
