High school grad photos.
Four years, one cap, and a family that wants a photo worth framing. A relaxed session of your own, away from the line-up on commencement day.
A session that is yours.
Commencement gives you a handshake and a few seconds on a stage. A session with us is outdoors and unhurried, and it is built around you: in your cap and regalia, in your own outfit, and with the people who got you here.
Bring your family for part of it, bring your best friends, or bring the dog. We make sure you leave with portraits of you on your own as well.
What you can bring.
- Your cap and regaliaIf your school has not handed them out yet, tell us and we will plan around it.
- A second outfitSomething you love wearing, for photos that look like you on a normal good day.
- Your familyParents, siblings and grandparents are welcome in part of the session.
- Your friendsGraduating together? Put everyone in one session.
- Something that is yoursA team jersey, an instrument, an award, or the sweater of the school you are heading to next.
A place with good light.
A park, your own street or your backyard. Tell us what you have in mind and we will help you choose a spot that photographs well.
Rain or shine.
We go ahead in the rain and bring matching umbrellas for everyone. Soft, cloudy light flatters every face. Only a severe storm warning moves a session. The weather plan has the details.
Your photos, fast.
A first set of finished photos arrives within 48 hours of your session, and your complete gallery within 7 days, in a private online gallery you can download from.

Your gallery arrives.
A first set within 48 hours, the complete gallery within 7 days.
If you are under 18.
A parent or guardian makes the booking and gives permission for the photos. That goes for any graduate who is under 18 on the day.
We use a photo of anyone under 18 only to deliver it, unless a parent or guardian gives us a written yes, and never in paid advertising. The privacy policy has the full rule.
Questions.
How much is a session?
It depends on how many graduates are in it and how long you would like us for. Tell us what you have in mind, and we send a price before anything is booked.
When should we take them?
Any time around graduation works. Before commencement, the photos are ready for the party and the thank-you cards. After it, the pressure is off and you have your diploma in hand.
Can friends share a session?
Yes. One person sends the enquiry with the number of graduates, and everyone gets group photos and portraits of their own.
Do you photograph the ceremony?
A commencement ceremony is booked as an event by the school. The school can send an event enquiry with the date.
