So very happy with our daughter’s grad pictures by Alex & Kate. Booking online was super easy and Alex made the process of obtaining the perfect grad picture effortless and enjoyable. The pictures were vibrant and cheerful; absolutely gorgeous. The packages perfectly met our needs and were reasonably priced. Would rate higher than a 5/5 if it was possible. ~ GAIL WEATHERBY

Yes! We have the official gowns and sashes for most local high schools including Bay View, CPA, Halifax West, Citadel, Sackville, Cole Harbour, Lockview, JL Ilsley, Millwood, Bedford Forsyth, and Woodlawn. We also provide white shirts and ties to ensure you look polished.
Since we provide the gown, sash, and collar (and even the shirt and tie if you need it!), your job is simple. We recommend wearing a V-neck t-shirt or tank top underneath so it doesn’t show under the gown. For Grad Plus sessions where you want casual photos, bring an outfit that reflects your personal style—solid colours usually photograph best!
Absolutely. Our Grad Plus session is designed exactly for this. For a small upgrade, you can bring your parents, siblings, or best friend for shared photos. It’s also the perfect session if you want to bring props like sports jerseys or musical instruments.

Halifax Grad Photos

Kate and I love meeting and working with grads. There are so many bright and talented young people in our community! We see a significant number of grads from our local high school Charles P. Allen High School as it's just down the road from our studio. We also enjoy working with grads from Halifax's many universities including Dalhousie University, Saint Mary's University and Mount Saint Vincent University. We would love the opportunity to work with you, your daughter or son!


I was so impressed with Alex and Kate! As soon as we stepped out of the car, we were greeted by Kate and I immediately felt comfortable - as if I had known her for years. Taking a reluctant grade 12 boy for grad photos was a bit of a challenge, but Alex worked hard to get the perfect poses! The proofs came back almost immediately and we loved all of them. Every email I sent was answered quickly and I’m so impressed with their service. - Keri Chandler
