Your Photo Session
You will be photographed by two photographers in your photo session. From start to finish the two sets will take 15-20 minutes.
Your first set of photos will be your casual, contemporary photos, so please arrive in your casual attire. You can bring any special props or ideas you may have for the casual photos. If you are unsure about what is allowed please speak with your grad sponsor or the photographer the day before your portrait sitting.
After the casual, it is time to move into the formal sessions where your head and shoulder photos are taken.

PHOTO SHOOT Preparation
GROOMING AND ATTIRE
Clothing (Casual photos)
✔ You may bring one or two changes of clothing
✔ Keep clothes neatly pressed and on hangers
✔ Avoid busy patterns, stripes
✔ Wear solid, medium to dark
Clothing (Formal photos)
✔ Girls should wear V-neck shirts for under the gown
✔ Guys should wear a collared shirt and tie matching your school colours (ties and shirts are available if needed)
Hair
You will want to look and feel comfortable, and you should feel great about your hair.
✔ Don’t experiment with different hairstyles on photo day
✔ Hair cuts (we only recommend trims) should be done at least a week prior to your appointment
✔ If going to a hairdresser for a special up do or hairstyle, try a dry run prior to photo day
Grooming (girls)
✔ Wear fresh looking, daytime make-up.
✔ Avoid over-applying foundation
✔ Natural looks are best
✔ Use a little bit of loose powder to touch-up shiny spots and concealer to lighten up dark spots and cover up blemishes
✔ Hands may be in some photos so try neutral or natural toned nail polish
Grooming (boys)
✔ Shave, even light stubble can be picked up by the camera
✔ Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove any oiliness and prevent shine
✔ Concealer or powder are not necessary but it can be helpful in evening skin tone and minimizing blemishes
Make sure you double check your appearance immediately prior to your appointment to ensure you feel and look great.
