eSHARE allows everyone on campus to submit photos for possible publication in the yearbook. Get parents, students and others from the school community to join your yearbook photo team. Imagine having more photos than you can use from musical and theater rehearsals, out-of-town robotics competitions and community sports events. Plus, anyone who has an iPhone can download HJ eShare, the industry’s first iPhone app, and start uploading photos today!

COLOR PLUS helps your images look their very best. Only Herff Jones color corrects individual photos for your yearbook. Sure, it would be easier/faster/less expensive to adjust the color by the flat, but we believe your readers deserve true skin tones, balanced color and optimal contrast. You’re creating the school’s only permanent record of the year, and we want your readers to love everything about it.

We deliver.
