Ottawa Graduation Photography

Contact us to book your appointment.

Ottawa graduation photography sessions are available in studio by appointment. These sessions are all about celebrating accomplishments and marking an important milestone.

Graduation photos don’t have to be awkward and stiffly posed memories on dated backdrops or a green screen.

Our goal for graduation sessions is to capture naturally posed images with genuine emotion, that can be shared with family and friends for years to come. We have a collection of timeless backdrops that can be used for both candid and naturally posed images of the graduate in a formal cap and gown as well as their own special outfit(s). Many clients choose to incorporate special mementos or hobbies into their session, such as musical instruments, books, sports gear, and art supplies.

The benefits of booking a graduation photography session outside of school:

last minute hair and wardrobe adjustments
not limited to headshots
a larger gallery of images to choose from
you can tailor your session to your child’s interests and style
includes both digital images and prints
can choose the backdrop(s) for your session

My graduation photography sessions are more than a photo with a cap and gown. We all have different preferences for poses, backdrops, outfits, and style. Each of my graduation sessions is styled individually for every client.

I have graduation gowns and caps available in a range of sizes for kindergartners all the way up to university and college-aged students.
