TAC Images | 2026 Graduation Portrait Toolkit
Congratulations! Graduation is a massive milestone, and we are here to make sure your graduation portraits are as remarkable as your achievement. This toolkit is your "cheat sheet" for a smooth, stress-free photography experience.
OUR PROCESS
1. Your Personal Slot:
Every student has a specific date and time for their private session. No long lines, just dedicated time for your graduate. Students will get their specific date and time slot at the beginning of May 2026.
We’ve refined our session to be efficient, fun, and high-quality. Here is the roadmap:
2. The Best of Both Worlds:
We conduct two distinct sets: a polished indoor set (perfect for the yearbook) and a natural outdoor set (ideal for announcements and wall art).
3. The Reveal:
4. Selection & Purchase:
Proofs will be available in your private, password-protected gallery 2–3 weeks after the session.
From your gallery, you can view and purchase your favorite images. You’ll also use this portal to select the specific photo you want for the school yearbook.
What to wear
The Do's ✅
Steam or iron your gown. Those "factory fold" lines are permanent in photos if they aren't pressed out beforehand.
Choose classic, solid colors. Navy, white, cream, and dark jewel tones always look sophisticated and timeless.
Check your undershirt. A simple white V-neck or neutral camisole ensures nothing "peeks out" from under the gown's V-neck.
Bring a brush and a few hairpins. The outdoor breeze is great for "mood," but a quick touch-up between sets is a lifesaver.
Wear shoes you can walk in. Our outdoor set may involve grass or uneven paths, so make sure your footwear is "all-terrain" friendly.
The Don'ts ❌
Avoid neon or "highlighter" colors. They reflect light onto your skin and can give you a neon-green or hot-pink chin.
Don’t forget your Chapstick/Vaseline: Dry lips are very visible in close-ups. Remember to moisturize your lips before your session so they look smooth in the final shots.
Don’t wait until the morning of: Try on your formal outfit at least 48 hours early to ensure the fit is comfortable and you feel confident.
Avoid large, distracting logos/prints. We want the focus on your face and your achievement, not a brand name.
Don’t forget the cap! It should sit flat on your head, not tilted back. (We’ll help you adjust it if it gets wonky.)
