Graduation and senior portraits
Keeping who your grad is now, before they leave home
In the fall your teen moves on, and this version of them, the favourite spots, the inside jokes, the style they wore all year, moves on too. One formal portrait cannot hold all of that. A Senior Magazine can.
Picture a night in late August. The car is half packed, and your graduate is in the next room sorting what stays and what goes.
You scroll your phone looking for something that shows who they were this year: the lookout they always drove to, the jacket they wore every day, the line from a song they quoted constantly. You find blurry snaps, screenshots and one formal grad photo.
That photo matters. But it shows a graduate, not your kid at seventeen or eighteen.
What slips away
Senior year passes fast. The places, the friends, the style and the sayings that defined it change once school ends and life moves to a new city or a new job.
Without something made on purpose, that chapter lives only in memory and a camera roll nobody scrolls back through. Years from now, you and your graduate will want to hold it in your hands.
How we build a Senior Magazine with your grad
A Senior Magazine is a personalized magazine we design with your graduate. It holds their favourite quotes, styles, outfits and themes, along with the locations that meant something to them.
First, we sit down for a consultation. We talk about who your grad is right now, and we choose outfits, settings and poses together. The session can be in a natural outdoor setting or against an urban backdrop, wherever feels like them.
On photography day, your grad gets professional makeup and hair styling, and their outfit is styled. Plan to spend up to 4 hours with our team, which leaves room for more than one look and more than one place.
Within a week, you see the images. Your graduate picks favourites, and those become the pages of their magazine, alongside the words and themes they chose.
Two weeks after your selection, your products are delivered with the warranty and print release. Every digital file you purchase comes in both colour and black and white, with its matching matted print, so the favourites can hang on a wall as well as fill a page.
What you get to keep
Instead of searching your phone the night before they leave, you have one finished keepsake of this exact moment in their life, made with them, in their own words and places.
It is something your graduate can take along, and something that stays home with you. We photograph graduates in Kamloops, Vernon and across the North Okanagan. Tell us a little about your grad and we will start planning.
