Consider getting your grade level sponsors/teachers together to create a one-of-a-kind grade level memory book that includes photos of all student grade level events as well as recognition ads. Great for 5th Grade, 8th Grade, or 12th Grade Books where no yearbook is available on campus or when you want special coverage for your grade.
Consider large groups or clubs on/off campus for their own memory book:
- Student Council
- CTE, NHS or JNHS
- PTA/PTO
- Scouts/Church/Camp
- Theater
- Reunions (School)
- Weddings
- Church Directories
- Military Service Books
- Corporate/Business
Consider contacting your organization or team booster families to help create:
- Athletic Books
- Team Books
- Sports Programs
- Marching Band Books
- Mariachi/Music/Choir Book
- JROTC Books
- Little or Summer League
- Dance Team
- Cheer Team
- And More!
If you are a teacher wanting to create a publication of a project/work created by your homerook or class, consider a homeroom book. Our minimum order will be 25 copies & you book can include full color pictures, student work, art, and more! Include your students in the creation process and this can be a great example of an outcome-based project.
Most reputable portrait companies do offer/provide schools the option of ordering a PSPA (Professional School Photographers Association) CD/DVD for their school yearbook production process. This disc contains a TXT file with names of all students and teachers on campus as well as their school portrait file name. It is used in the yearbook creation process to automatically flow all images on your yearbook portrait pages with the click of a few buttons!
Companies listed below have provided PSPA Yearbook Portrait CDs for Yearbook Production to schools in the Rio Grande Valley. Feel free to contact them to see if they can service your school portrait needs at your campus.

Most common mages include: Fall Portraits, Spring Portraits, Cap & Gown Portraits, Sports Photography, Christmas/Santa Photos, etc.
Here are a couple of notes you must be aware of:
*Notify your portrait company immediately and weeks before your photo shoot data and let them know you will be needing a PSPA Portrait CD/DVD for Yearbook Production
*Let them know you will need the images saved in the Large format size as per PSPA guidelines (sometimes called the "SENIOR or LARGE" size or 640 x 800 pixels in 300dpi at .8 aspect ratio)
*Let them know you would like to have your PSPA Disc AFTER retakes so all images photographed in first and second shoot are on the DISC.
*Set up your retake date as soon as possible after your first portrait shoot date to make sure your portrait disc can be provided to you as soon as possible.
*For more information about the PSPA Guidelines in PDF format, you can visit the Professional School & Sports Photographers International Site for more info or review the PSPA Guidelines in PDF format by clicking here
When it comes to books, the standard minimum we will print is 50 books, but on some occasions, we can also produce as low as 25 books for homeroom books or club/team/event books. Our minimum size is 16 pages for a soft/paper cover with saddle stitch binding & 32 pages for a hard cover with PUR binding. You can add pages in increments of 4 pages or printed panels, so you can go from 16-20-24-28, etc or 32-36-40-44, etc.
It is never too late to start a project/job. We have schools starting as late as Spring Break (March) and receive the books at start of May! The question you must ask yourself is, "WHEN DO I WANT TO RECEIVE MY ORDER & DO I HAVE ALL THE PHOTOS & FUNDS FOR THE PROJECT/JOB?" You must also decide if you require a printed proof (2 weeks) before we start production on the final project.
For soft/paper cover orders, we usualy need about 3-4 weeks to print & ship via UPS/FED EX ground on projects across the continental US after cover & page proofs are approved. For hard cover or large page count orders, we may need an additional week or two based upon the season. We will let you know via any written quote we provide you. You can submit an order with payment after proof is approved as late as May 1 & receive it May 28 or sooner in some cases.
We do provide written quotes for all our projects that must be accepted and approved in writing by the school/customer. We will not produce a book without an agreement in writing. Our terms are simple. When we work wth a public/private/charter school system and their club/personnel/teams, we require 50% deposit upon the submission of book for proof(if applicable) or production. Remaining balance is due upon the delivery of the project/publication. Our terms are Net-10 days, & we do accept school purchase orders. We do provide Vendor Info(W9/CIQ) /Insurance Requirements for School Districts if needed. For other private or small groups, we do accept VISA/MC payments for the full price upon the submission of the project for printing. Contact us for more details.
