West Bedford High Class of 2026: The Local, Relaxed Alternative.

Premium, relaxed, and personality-filled grad portraits for the historic first graduating class of West Bedford High.

West Bedford High School Grad Photos | Inaugural Class of 2026

Welcome, West Bedford families! We aren't just a local studio; we are parents of a Class of '26 grad (Hi, Sophia!). We know how important this milestone is—it’s the very first graduating class of our new school.


We know you have the option of the school contract photographer. But we also know that sometimes, you want more than the standard 'sit, smile, next' experience. We created this session specifically for WBH students who want to celebrate this year with style, time, and genuine smiles.

Yes! We have the official gowns and sashes for most local high schools including West Bedford, 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.
The session fee is $30 (+HST) for a standard session or $55 (+HST) for a Grad Plus session. This covers the time in our Hammonds Plains studio. After the session, you choose which photos you want to buy. Most families invest between $100 and $250 on prints and digital files.
We keep it efficient and fun! A standard session takes about 20 minutes. We’ll guide you through the poses so you look your best without feeling stuck in front of the camera all day.
We know you’re excited to see them. We post an online proof gallery for you to review within 24 hours of your session.
Absolutely. We want you to look your best! We professionally retouch every single image that you order (whether prints or digital files). This includes removing temporary blemishes, smoothing skin tones, and fixing stray hairs. Please note that the online proofs you see initially are unedited, but rest assured your final selections will be polished to perfection.
We are located in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia. We are right around the corner from West Bedford High School and easily accessible for grads coming from Halifax or Bedford.
