2020 Graduation Photos

Thank you for completing the survey and providing your feedback regarding graduation photos. Many of you expressed an interest to have graduation photos taken and MITT is happy to provide you with two options:

Option 1: Professional portrait and selfies

With this option you will receive a 15minute professional portrait session and be provided with 15 minutes at one of the selfie stations for you to snap your own photos.

Use the MITT backdrop in one of the selfie stations to take photos on your phone or personal camera with family or classmates. You can have a maximum of five additional people with you for this session. Please note that if classmates want individual photos they must book their own session.

Note: If you would like to have a cap and/or gown for these photos, you can order both through Gaspards (see link below).

All costs for the cap and gown rental and the professional photos are the responsibility of the graduate, and must be paid in advance when booking.

Option 2: Selfie only

If you want to come and take photos on your phone or personal camera, we will provide you with an MITT backdrop. You do not need to book an appointment for these photos, but you many have to wait in line, until a backdrop becomes available. You can have a maximum of five additional people with you for this session.

Note: If you would like to have a cap and/or gown for these photos you can order both through Gaspards (see link below).
