Celebrate your upcoming graduation with a photographic experience you won't forget! On your own, or with a group of friends, you will get to take photos on the parts of campus that mean the most to you! Whether that be a res hall you and your friends met at, at the iconic Gryphon statue, or anything in between, we got you! Our team will guide you to get some classic graduation portraits your parent(s) will love, and even more photos celebrating your magic and the relationship between you and your friends.
We know how busy your student life is so we provide a seamless experience for you! From providing gowns and undergrad hoods to online gallery access to a professional printing lab, we've got you covered!
a grad photo experience you won't forget
We don't offer outdoor grad shoots during the winter months. Instead, we reserve the time for Indoor grad headshots. We open up bookings again starting in April. The spring is a great time to schedule a session if you couldn't fit it in your fall schedule. By this time the temperature becomes a bit more comfortable for outdoor photos!
when should I do my grad photos?
When you choose to book your grad photos is totally up to you! While we offer graduation photoshoots all year round there are some things to consider for what time of year you book.
The summer season (June - September) is our favourite time of the year to take grad photos. Most students are home for these months so campus is less busy. If you love the bright summer aesthetic we recommend having your session during these months!
By far the most popular (and busy) time of year for grad photos. By October the campus turns into a beautiful mix of red, yellow, and orange. The temperature is chilly (with the occasional warm days). Our schedule fills up very quickly for October sessions, so we recommend booking your grad photoshoot in August or September.
