why take grad portraits now?
The grad portrait sitting allows us to give you the best graduation portraits possible. This means we ensure your sash is laying flat, your cap is sitting straight, your tassel isn’t swinging in your face, you’re not closing your eyes, and of course, you are smiling (brilliantly).
Your graduation is a moment that deserves to be commemorated in the best way possible. With this session you’ll have the opportunity to be photographed with the utmost care and attention-to-detail by a professional photographer using top-of-the-line lighting and camera equipment.

4 different regalia poses in front of a green screen
Photographed using professional grade camera and lighting equipment by qualified photographers
Online gallery of your photos with various backgrounds to choose from
A variety of products available for purchase, including prints and digital downloads

FAQs
HOW LONG DOES A SESSION TAKE?
10-15 minutes with an appointment.
Without an appointment, it is first come first serve and we cannot guarantee a time slot. Due to the popularity of the event, wait time could be up to 1 hour.
CAN I do this without a reservation?
You can, but due to the popularity of our portrait sessions, there may be a wait time of 60 minutes or more during our peak time.
IS REGALIA AVAILABLE FOR THE PHOTOS?
We do not have regalia for photos. Please bring your own regalia. Make sure your regalia is freshly steamed and ready for photos. The camera will capture all wrinkles if your gown is not pressed.
Will my t-shirt show under the gown?
Yes, if you are wearing a t-shirt or sweatshirt under the gown, it will show. You’ve earned the privilege to shine in that graduation gown, so avoid wearing just a t-shirt under it.
Here are our recommendations on how to look good for your pictures.
i paid for additional poses, do I get those photos for free?
All print and digital download orders must be purchased separately. When you pay for additional poses, you are paying a sitting fee that is unrelated to your print and digital download order.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
Your photo proof gallery will be sent to the email address that you provide upon reservation.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
You will receive your photo gallery approximately 3-4 weeks from your grad portrait session.
WILL MY PHOTOS BE RETOUCHED?
Retouching is provided upon request. The cost of retouching is dependent on the complexity of what you would like retouched. When you receive your gallery of proofs, you will be able to add retouching to your shopping cart.
WHAT CAN AND CAN’T BE RETOUCHED?
We offer face shine removal, stray hair removal, blemish/pimple removal, teeth and eye whitening, facial wrinkle softening, background enhancement, and clothing wrinkle removal.
Unfortunately, modern technology does not yet grant us the ability to convincingly change your outfit or the people in your photograph.
CAN i be PHOTOGRAPhed WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS AND/OR FRIENDS?
You may bring as many family members as you'd like to take photos with but you may only be photographed with 2 people at a time. The backdrop size only accommodates 3 people at a time.
CAN MY GRADUATING FRIEND JOIN ME IN MY PHOTOS?
Yes, they can take photos with you, but if they want to take their own individual photos they must book their own session.
CAN I BRING MY PET TO THE PHOTO SESSION?
Yes! Pets are more than welcome. In fact, we are happy to photograph you with your pet (given they want to pose with you).
HOW CAN I REACH YOU?
You can email us at support@bestgradphoto.com, or call at (800) 284 7235.
