Grad Photos
Be sure to remember your photo time. Don't forget or be late! A few things to note...
- Every grad needs to have a photo taken.
- If you want a yearbook photo only, with no option to purchase photos, please book a standard session, scroll past the payment screen and click continue. When you arrive for your appointment, let photographers know you want the free, yearbook only session. It will be about 10 minutes, but remember, you will not have the option to purchase photos.
- If you book the $40 standard session and you do not have a credit card for payment, no worries, scroll past the credit card information window and click continue. You can still book your appointment and will be able to pay at the time of your session. Photographers take cheque, cash or debit.
