Graduation Photography in Scottsdale, AZ: Portraits Before the Ceremony, Ready in Two Weeks
Graduation portraits in Scottsdale, for high school, college and university graduates
IAZ Photo Studio photographs graduation sessions in Scottsdale for one graduate at a time, with three packages: Essential at $250 for a 30-minute session and 10 edited photos, Complete at $395 for an hour with two outfits, family portraits and 25 photos, and Deluxe at $595 for 90 minutes, three outfits, 40 photos and 25 printed announcements. Photos are usually ready in 2 weeks, in time for the announcements and the party.
What a graduation session includes
- Portraits in cap and gown, and in the outfits your package allows, at one location (two nearby in Deluxe).
- Individual portraits first, then family portraits in Complete and Deluxe, inside the session time.
- Every available photo in an online gallery, where you pick the favorites your package includes; each delivered photo is edited by hand.
- A 20% discount code for professional prints ordered through the gallery.
Where to take graduation photos in Scottsdale
- Your school or campus, with the sign, the stadium or the walkway you crossed for four years. Each school sets its own rules for portraits on campus; when yours asks for a date and time, we arrange it.
- Old Town Scottsdale, for brick, patios and a walk between frames.
- The Scottsdale Waterfront, for water and the city skyline behind the gown.
- Pinnacle Peak Park and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, which require a photography permit (opens in a new tab) before the session.
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 session with more than one location stays within 5 driving miles of the spot where it starts.
When to book the session
Book four to six weeks before you need the photos. April and May fill first for high school and university graduates; December for mid-year graduates. Arizona heat matters: from May to September we shoot in the first hour of light or the last.
The three graduation packages
A non-refundable $150 deposit reserves the session and is applied to the package. The balance is due 48 hours before the session.
