Grad Photography in Halifax
A relaxed 20-minute studio session with two photographers, official gowns for most local schools, and your proof gallery online within 24 hours.
The photo that ends up on the mantel
The yearbook needs one photo. Your family will want more than that.
Graduation marks years of work - yours, and your parents' too. A proper portrait gives everyone something to keep: framed in the living room, tucked in a wallet, sent to grandparents who could not be there.
We keep it relaxed and unhurried, so you leave with photos that actually look like you.
Bring your people. Bring your gear.
Grad Plus adds a best friend, teammates, siblings, your sports gear or a second grad to the same visit. The grad portraits still come first - then we open up the frame.
Grad Plus is $55 + HST. The standard grad session is $30 + HST. Both are booked online, and both come with the same online proof gallery for choosing prints and digital files.

Grads and parents, both happy.
We went to Alex MacAulay Photography for my daughter's graduation photos after 2 failed attempts by the school's hired photographer. When we received proofs (within 24 hours of the sitting) there wasn't a bad shot in the group... They were all absolutely stunning.
Cindy Shearer
The session itself was very relaxed and efficient. We had a digital gallery sent to us within 24 hours and were blown away at the quality of images. They were all so stunning, it was difficult to choose.
Kelly Hiltz
As soon as we stepped out of the car we were greeted by Kate and I immediately felt comfortable. 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.
