Frequently Asked Questions

  • To book a session, simply visit our website and choose one of our portrait packages. You can then select an available date and time that works for you.

  • We recommend that graduates wear business-casual attire. Here are some specific suggestions:

    For Women:

    Blouse or Dress: Opt for a blouse, shift dress, or blouse and skirt combination in a solid color or subtle pattern. These choices offer a professional appearance that pairs well with the academic regalia.

    Footwear: Footwear will not show in the photos as grad portraits are typically taken from the waist up, so you can wear whatever is comfortable!

    Jewelry: Choose simple and elegant jewelry, such as stud earrings, a pendant necklace, or a bracelet. Avoid excessive jewelry that may distract from your face.

    Hair and Makeup: Your hair and makeup should be natural and well-groomed. Avoid overly bold or dramatic makeup, and opt for a hairstyle that suits your personal style while maintaining a classic look.

    Nails: Make sure your nails are clean and well-maintained. A neutral or soft nail colour is recommended.

    For Men:

    Dress Shirt: A crisp, clean dress shirt in a solid color or subtle pattern is an excellent choice. White or light blue work well.

    Necktie: A dark tie, such as black, navy, or a deep shade that contrasts with your dress shirt, adds a polished and professional touch to your look.

    Shoes: Shoes will not show in the photos as grad portraits are typically taken from the waist up, so you can wear whatever is comfortable!

    Trousers: Wear dress trousers in a coordinating color with your shirt and tie. A darker shade often complements the overall look. Avoid jeans or casual pants.

    Accessories: Minimal accessories are recommended. A simple watch or ring can be worn, but keep it understated to maintain a timeless and elegant appearance.
