Grad Photo Information 2024-2025

Dear Graduation Families,

We are excited to announce that Graduation Picture Day is just around the corner! This special day is a wonderful opportunity to capture your graduate's achievements and create lasting memories.

Date: November 8th - 15th

There will be a cap and gown provided for the photo as well as our signature stole. 

Please ensure that your graduate arrives dressed in appropriate attire ( ideas for being prepared and inspired linked HERE ), and ready to smile for the camera! If your grad would like to personalize the photo with items that show their uniqueness please feel free to bring those items. ( Hockey stick, Skates, Basketball ect) 

We recommend arriving a little early to allow time for any last-minute adjustments.

After picture day, you’ll receive information on how to view and order prints. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your cooperation, and we can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with all of you!
