Phoenix graduation packages: Essential, Complete and Deluxe

Phoenix graduation packages differ in time, number of photos and printed extras:

  • Essential, $250: 30 minutes and 10 photos.
  • Complete, $395: 60 minutes, 25 photos and family portraits.
  • Deluxe, $595: 90 minutes, 40 photos, up to 2 locations within 5 driving miles of each other, and 25 printed graduation announcements.

Essential works if you only want a few portraits in your gown. Complete adds time for the family, and Deluxe lets you change locations and gives you announcements ready to send. If you are torn between two, tell us how many people you want in the photos and we will help you choose.

How to book your Phoenix graduation session

To book your Phoenix graduation session, you pay a $150 deposit, which is applied to the package price. The balance is due 48 hours before the session.

  • You can reschedule with 72 hours' notice.
  • Photos are usually ready in 2 weeks.

Write to us as soon as you know your graduation date, so we can check availability early. A session on a different day from the ceremony lets you take your time, away from the crowds.

Family portraits at your graduation session

Complete and Deluxe leave time for family portraits, because a graduation is a milestone for the parents too. Complete includes family portraits, and Deluxe gives you 90 minutes for photos with family, friends and at two locations.

Bring a short list of the group photos you want. That way we make good use of the time and nobody important is left out. If grandparents or little siblings are coming, it helps to start with the family photos and leave the solo portraits for later.

Printed graduation announcements in the Deluxe Package

The Deluxe Package includes 25 personalized printed graduation announcements. It is the simplest way to get portraits and announcements in one step, and with 40 photos you have plenty to choose from.

If you choose another package, downloads include permission to print for personal use, so you can use your photos on your own announcements. You also get 20% off professional prints through the online gallery.

Graduation photo locations in Phoenix: tell us your spot

There is no travel fee within 25 driving miles of Tempe, Arizona (I-10 and US-60); farther out, we quote the travel before you book. A graduation session with more than one location stays within 5 driving miles of the spot where it starts.

Tell us your spot and we confirm whether any travel fee applies. With Deluxe, pick two locations within 5 driving miles of each other, so the session isn't spent on the road.

If you want photos at your school or in a park, ask first whether they require a permit or charge for parking; city parks publish their rules through City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation (opens in a new tab).

What to bring to your Phoenix graduation session

For your Phoenix graduation session, bring your cap, your gown and any stole or cords you will wear at the ceremony. If you have your diploma or a school shirt, those look good in photos too.

  • Steam or hang your gown the day before.
  • Bring water and some shade if the session is outdoors.
  • Bring the shoes you will wear at the ceremony, since they show in full-length photos.
  • If you want an outfit change, choose Complete or Deluxe so there is time.

If you graduate in summer, pick early morning or the last hour before sunset for the session.
