A Portrait That Feels Like Your Senior

A Classic Portrait, Made Easy

Graduation season moves fast. This is a little time set aside to celebrate the person your senior has become before the next chapter begins.

These studio sessions are for high school and college graduates who want a classic cap-and-gown portrait, a little guidance with posing, and finished images their family will be glad to keep. Pat makes it easy from the first hello through your image choices.

A Little Time, Well Spent

Your session is simple and personal: time in the Mills River studio, guidance throughout, and a short set of finished portraits you can share and print.

  • Two edited digital images of your choice
  • Two professional prints of your selected images, in 5×7 or 8×10
  • Guidance from posing through finished portrait choices

$150

Graduation announcement cards, additional digital images, prints, albums, and wall art are available if you would like to create even more from the session.

No Honor Cord Yet? No Problem.

If your senior has earned an honor cord but has not received it yet, Pat has cords available for the portrait. Bring what you have, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Turn Your Portraits Into Announcements

Use your cap-and-gown portraits for graduation announcements, or mix them with senior portraits from earlier in the year. Pat can help you create something that feels like your senior, not a template.

Prefer an Outdoor Session?

If the studio is not the right fit, ask Pat about a one-hour outdoor cap-and-gown session. A school campus or another meaningful location can give the portraits more room to reflect your senior’s personality.
