IMPORTANT INFORMATION 〰️

Senior portraits for the Class of 2026 will be taken outdoors, providing a beautiful natural setting for this important milestone.

Cap & Gown Outfit

A cap and gown will be provided on-site for each student.
However, please note that shirts will not be provided.
Students must bring their own white button-down shirt to wear underneath the gown. This is required for the cap and gown photos.

Optional Second Outfit

Students are welcome (but not required) to bring a second outfit for additional photo opportunities. Some popular choices include:

  • A formal outfit (such as a dress, jacket and tie)

  • A varsity jacket

These extra portraits will be taken alongside the official cap and gown photos and provide a chance to capture more personality and style.

Additional Information

Parents are welcome to attend.

Congratulations on your child's high school graduation! We know it's an important time in your child's life, and we want to make sure you love their portraits. You're welcome to be present while we take their pictures.

Proofs will be available online.

After the Senior portrait session is finished you'll receive an email with the link for your online proofs. You'll be able to purchase prints, products, and digital files. All physical goods are delivered to your home.

Please make sure you visit your gallery and choose your preferred photo for the 2026 yearbook.

Please remember to bring a plain white shirt, as we do not provide one.

For your senior portraits, we will provide the traditional cap and gown for the photo. However, you’ll need to bring your own plain white shirt to wear underneath. This helps create a polished and uniform appearance in the final images. A white button-up shirt or blouse works best, and should be free of logos or patterns. Please note that we do not provide the white shirt, so be sure to come prepared for the senior portrait event.

 FAQs

Here are some questions frequently asked by the parents:

  • A senior portrait event is an opportunity for high school seniors to have professional photographs taken to commemorate their final year. These portraits will be included in yearbook, shared with family and friends, and cherished for years to come. Participating allows your child to have a memorable and professional representation of their high school experience.

  • If your child is unable to attend the scheduled portrait event, don’t worry! There will be a make up day later in the year. Please make sure to keep an eye out for the email coming from the school with the information about the make up day.

  • Students will wear a cap and gown provided on site for their portrait. Please bring a plain white button-up shirt to wear underneath, as we do not provide the white shirt.

  • We’ll be photographing each student from the chest up in the traditional cap and gown, which we will provide. To ensure a polished and consistent look, please wear a plain white shirt underneath. A white button-up or blouse is ideal — please avoid t-shirts, logos, or patterns, as these may be visible around the collar and can distract from the formal appearance.

    There’s no need to worry about pants, shoes, or the lower portion of your outfit — they won’t be visible in the final photo. The portraits will be framed similarly to the sample images provided, focusing only on the upper body.

  • Yes, we offer a variety of photo packages to suit different preferences and budgets. Our packages typically include a selection of prints in various sizes and digital files for online sharing. You'll have the opportunity to review and choose the package that best meets your needs during the ordering process.

  • Absolutely! We encourage parents to join their children during their portrait session to offer support and ensure their comfort. Your presence can also help alleviate any nervousness your child may feel.

  • We understand the excitement of seeing the final portraits! Typically, you can expect to receive access to your child's digital proofs within a few days of the portrait session. Once you've made your selections and placed your order, delivery times for prints and other products may vary but are generally within a couple of weeks.

  • Absolutely! Students are welcome to bring varsity jackets or a second formal attire for additional photo opportunities alongside having their portrait taken with the formal attire provided.
