New to Lifetouch Yearbooks? We’ve Got You Covered.

Taking on the yearbook for the first time can feel like a big responsibility. Between deadlines, page design, photo collection, sales, and planning, it’s normal to wonder where to begin.

That’s exactly why Lifetouch created our monthly Yearbook Adviser Orientation Webinar. Designed specifically for new advisers, this live session walks you through the yearbook process step by step, introduces the tools and resources available to you, and gives you the opportunity to ask questions along the way.

Whether you’ve inherited the role, volunteered for the opportunity, or are starting fresh at a new school, we’re here to help you build a successful yearbook from day one.

You're Not Expected to Figure It Out Alone

One of the biggest concerns new Yearbook Advisers have is knowing where to start.

The good news? You don’t need to have all the answers on day one.

Our Adviser Orientation Webinar is designed to give you a roadmap for the year ahead. In just 60 minutes, you’ll learn what to expect during the publishing cycle, what decisions need to be made early, and where to find help whenever you need it. You’ll also get a chance to ask questions and hear guidance directly from our Yearbook experts

We'll Help You Build a Strong Foundation

Successful yearbooks start with a plan.

During the webinar, we’ll help you get comfortable with your yearbook website, show you where key resources live, and walk through important setup steps that can save time later in the year. From understanding your yearbook specifications to setting up user access and exploring helpful features, we’ll help you feel confident before you begin building pages.

Rather than overwhelming you with every detail, we focus on the foundational knowledge that helps new advisers start strong and stay organized.

Learn the Yearbook Basics with Confidence

Creating a yearbook doesn’t have to be complicated.

We’ll introduce the tools available within the Lifetouch yearbook platform and explain the basic building blocks of creating your book. You’ll learn how yearbook planning works, how pages come together, and how available resources can help simplify the process.

Whether you’re working independently or collaborating with students, staff, or parent volunteers, the webinar helps you understand the process before the busy parts of the year arrive.

More Than a Webinar: Resources for Every Step of the Journey

The Adviser Orientation Webinar is just one of the many ways Lifetouch supports Yearbook Advisers throughout the year.

Whether you’re looking for step-by-step instructions, planning guidance, design inspiration, or answers to a specific question, you’ll have access to a variety of resources designed to help you succeed. Our Yearbook Help Center includes help topics, videos, guides, planning tools, and additional webinars that align with key milestones throughout the publishing cycle.

And if you need a little extra assistance, Yearbook Adviser Support is available through live chat, phone, and email to help answer questions and keep you moving forward. 

Because creating a great yearbook isn’t about knowing everything on day one. It’s about having the right resources and support when you need them.
