Of course you do!  Our opinion might be biased though, so you should also ask your mom! 😄

Seriously, your graduation is a big deal, and should be remembered in a way that lasts.  Portraits are a great way to do that, and years from now you'll be happy to have them.  Put on the cap & gown and see how it feels - we think you'll like it.

Professional photos also make a great gift for the people who support you. Your friends and family might want your photos more than you do!  A portrait is a perfect gift to say thanks to your parents, grandparents, and loved ones.

Photo sessions cost $30 for individuals, and $15 extra to include family or friends.  This session fee does not include prints or downloads; you will have the chance to purchase prints, downloads and other products from your photo gallery later.

If you are not familiar with purchasing professional photography, please review our article: How much do grad photos cost?

You certainly can — in fact, we encourage it! 

Convocation is a very busy time at our studio, so if you visit us after convocation there will be less people around.  You may find our team a bit less stressed as well. 

Don't worry!  We have the grad gown (and cap and hood) for all U of A programs, so you can visit us another time and not miss out.  You will be able to wear the right academic clothing in your photos.

SUB Photo is located right upstairs from where you pick up your degree parchment and grad gown.  Look for us in the Students' Union Building, on the main level across from the University Bookstore entrance.

During convocation our studio is often very busy, and we are not as capable of handling special requests as we usually are.

Please do not bring pets during Convocation.  The building is very busy and it will be distracting for your furry friends, and adds a risk of allergy concern for others at the studio.  We are happy to include them another time.

Special props and creative ideas are also more difficult when the building and our studio is more crowded.  If you could please plan your fun photo session either before or after convocation, there will be less time pressure on your day and ours, and we will be able to give you our undivided attention.
