Graduation Photos

When?
Grade 12 graduation photos take place Wednesday, February 25 to Friday February 28, between 10-4pm. You can book your session now!

Where?
On the stage at Luther College High School.

How?
To book your 20-minute photo session, please go to bookmygrad.ca and use code: IIV – Luther College High School (Regina) You will pay $40 for your sitting when you book your session. This fee does not include the cost of ordering photos. We recommend that students avoid sitting times during their classes and that they choose times during spares or the lunch hour. However, that is not always possible. If students miss any class time for Grad photos, they are responsible for any missed work and communicating with their teacher.

What?
You will book the Deluxe Sitting with Edge Photography. This includes 15-20 poses with a variety of contemporary and traditional backgrounds. The photographers will have the gown, sash and hat. They will also have some props including a diploma, table, book and roses. You are welcome to take some casual photos at no extra cost. You can bring up to three different outfits or personal props such as sports equipment, musical instruments, photos of your younger self, books, pets, etc. Please, no weapons or paraphernalia of any kind.

On photo day…
Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled time dressed in your first outfit that will be under the gown. Be ready with all your props and outfits if you decide to bring some for the rest of the photos.

What to wear?
These photos will be looked back on for years so consider your outfits carefully. For your Cap & Gown photo, a white collared shirt or blouse always works well under the gown. As does a white button up shirt with a black or dark tie. These look equally great on all genders! If you would rather not wear a collared shirt, consider a shirt with a neckline that would not be seen under the V neck of the gown, like a tank top. Also keep in mind that hands and nails will be seen in some of the photos.

Don’t want Grad photos?
If you are not interested in purchasing grad photos, please let Mme. Andrews or the front office know. We would still love to arrange for you to have your cap & gown in the yearbook.
