Ottawa Location — Easy to Find & Local to You

Tips for Perfect Ottawa Grad Photos

Bring a few clothing options to your session — such as a clean shirt or blouse that complements your gown — but don’t stress about footwear or lower body attire, as most images focus on your face and upper body. Gentle retouching is included to make you look your best without losing your natural look.

Plan ahead: Book early to get your preferred time and outfit ready — but don’t worry if you’re graduating off-season; our grad photos are available all year.
