My graduation images came out better than I could ever have expected! I’ve never had photos in this style taken – the classical portraiture is so different and unique and I felt it was so fitting for an occasion like graduation. Thanks, Timeless Images – I’ll definitely come to you to capture future milestones.

Graduation Portrait Styles
With our premium graduate service, the choice is yours. Indoors or outdoors? Relaxed or formal? Whether you know exactly what you want or would like some guidance, our photography team are experts at helping you achieve the desired look and feel, and making the graduate feel their absolute best.
Graduation portraits are the perfect way to show your pride for the graduate and inspire future generations with a beautiful piece of wall art.
Location Portraits
We often use the backdrop of the historic Auckland Domain and surrounding trees for our location portraits. The beautiful combination of structure and nature results in:
- A more relaxed, casual feel
- Vibrant colours and natural light
- Excellent imagery for canvas artwork and Timeless Classic wall art
Studio Portraits
Our well-appointed studio located centrally in Newmarket is the largest of its kind in Auckland, offering supreme flexibility with a variety of backdrops to suit more formal or classical style photography with up to 40 family members. Studio sessions provide:
- More of a focus on the people as there is less distraction in the background
- In-studio lighting provides a variety of lighting settings – varied and dynamic lightning for added interest and creativity
- Not weather dependent for a safe, guaranteed shoot appointment
Discover the Timeless Experience
From start to finish, your portrait experience is of the utmost importance to us. We’ll take the time to get to know you and your family, make the shoot enjoyable, help you to select wonderful shots for display in your home, and then produce art which is retouched, perfected, and printed to the highest quality.
Spaces fill quickly, book your session today.
Preparing for your Session
- Ensure all family members are present so we can provide a complete portrait – grandparents and extended family are welcome.
- Dress for the special occasion and ensure your family members have suitable footwear to match.
- Dress with similar colour tones. Darker tones suit the graduation backdrop in the studio best. Note* When clothing contrasts with the background, eyes are drawn to the clothing, rather than faces.
- We recommend long sleeves and covered knees, so arms and legs don’t stand out in the portrait.
- If you have cultural outfits or colourful attire, we encourage everyone to participate. We love this!
For the Graduate
- Remember to bring your regalia.
- Props: Feel free to bring something special to you — this may be a graduation present, something relating to your qualification, something you love like a musical instrument, family pet (i.e. dog), or family heirloom.
- Please bring either a change of clothes to match your family or a long-sleeved top. If time allows, we like to take a family portrait without regalia.
