For passport photos, we recommend solid color shirts, no graphic logos. Please do not wear white as your photo may be rejected.

For business portrait sessions, professional attire is best – such as a dress shirt, blouse, blazer, or other polished business wear. Neatly pressed clothing is encouraged, solid, medium and dark colours look best on camera.

We recommend a trim or a tried-and-true hairstyle that suits you. Trying out new hairstyles before your photo session can end up with a bad hair day. If you would like a different style, we recommend trying it out one week before your session to ensure you are happy with the outcome.  

We recommend a natural or matte base, as dewy or glass bases may magnify shine on the face. Bring blotting papers or powder to help control the shine. 

Yes, you are welcome to wear glasses for your portrait session. We aim to provide the best possible results and will do our utmost to minimize any glare on glasses. However, please be aware that we do not edit out any glare. If your glasses are reflective, please plan accordingly to ensure you’re happy with the outcome. 

For passport photos, we recommend glasses to be taken off.

We recommend coming in wearing your outfit all prepared and ready to go, as our change rooms are limited and space not guaranteed for everyone. If you need a space to change and get ready, please arrive at least 30 minutes earlier. 

We recommend a fresh clean shave before your appointment. We are unable to edit out any stubble or 5 o’clock shadows. For beards, we recommend a clean trim and beard balm for a pristine look.

Graduation Session FAQs

Yes, we provide gowns, caps, and sashes for graduation photo sessions. We carry regalia for most major institutions within BC, but if you’re unsure whether we have your school’s set, please call us to confirm before booking your session.

Try to arrive for your appointment at least 10 minutes early. This ensures that you allow enough time to prepare as you want to be relaxed and ready for your photo session.

For the best results in your photos, consider a V-neck or tank top that highlights your face and neckline. Dress shirts help shape the body and provide a professional look. Suit wearers should opt for a white or light-colored dress shirt and a tie that coordinates with the colors of your school’s sash and gown. 

You’re welcome to bring a friend or family member to your session. We have a maximum limit of 4 people (including the graduate) for our groups. Please call our staff if you wish to accommodate for a larger group, fees will apply.

Our sessions are currently one-on-one, so only the person being photographed is allowed in the camera room at a time. Friends or family are welcome to wait in our lounge, and we’ll call them in when it’s time for their turn to take photos with the graduate.

We take full length and half body photos. Our staff recommends all family members come in formal attire with clean shoes for a memorable session. 

Yes! Our studio is pet-friendly, and all kinds of pets are welcome to join you for a few photos. A fresh groom looks great for your pet! We ask that you bring a few treats and a favourite toy to help them relax and prepare for the session. 

Please note that pets must be supervised, so someone will need to take care of them while you’re being photographed or bring a carrier for small/medium sized pets. If you are unable to find someone to supervise, our staff may be able to accommodate. Please call us for more details.

Yes, you are welcome to bring in any sentimental items for props such as fresh flower bouquets, cultural items, books, plushies, instruments, or even sports equipment. We have plenty of props to choose from in our studio as well.
