Grad Portraits

The pictures and story of your life are filled with faces, places, emotions and moments in time that can never be duplicated. From birth to high school senior to college and
graduation, your moments are far too precious to leave to memory alone. This is the reason William Hodge Portrait Gallery, along with GradPortraits, exists.

'The memory of loved ones never leaves this world until all of their pictures disintegrate into dust. This is why portraits are important.'

The portraits that you acquire through the years are chapters in your life; your prized possessions. These milestone moments are what you'll look back on to remember each day; each face; each emotion and each vignette that is the story of your life.

'Some hearts see not the beauty which lies within their soul. It's our job to illuminate, capture and reveal wherein that beauty lies.'

What are your family's Milestone Moments; graduating from high school or college, achieving The Eagle Scout Award, earning your Juris Doctorate, achieving a leadership promotion at work or the moment before your children spread their wings and fly off to college or start their own families. These are just a few of the moments you need to remember with a portrait.

Creating exceptional portraits for you of these important Milestone Moments is what we do better than anyone else!

“We photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory.”
Henri Cartier-Bresson"

Your 'story' is unlike anyone else's. Your portraits should be unlike any else's also. From our state of the art studio, your portraits will be created in the place that tells your story the best.

Take a tour of our galleries and call us to talk about your Milestone Moments. We look forward to creating beautiful chapters in the story about you and your family!

One of our Eagle Scout portraits elicited this comparison to a Mom's senior pictures of her son, while other mothers, upon picking up their portraits at the studio had similar comments.

"The pictures came out awesome, they're the best pictures I have of my son, better than his senior pictures. I'm so impressed by your portraits. I'm going to go on-line ad give you the most stars I can." Julie H.

"I'm all teary eyed looking at his portrait. I was just showing the portraits to my husband and I'm crying, they're so good." Michelle A.

"We ordered a package and they're absolutely georgeous, beautiful. So, thank you William, thank you very much." Penny G.

Thanks Julie, Michelle and Penny, we're very proud of the Eagle Scout portraits and senior pictures we create. And, by they way, check out our Eagle Portrait App (iOS & Android) with more samples of Eagle Scout portraits and information about upcoming portrait dates.

Is a professional portrait studio worth the investment? One of our customers weighs in on the reason she came to a professional photographer.

"I want to tell you, the wall sized portrait of the two of them (Eagle Scout brothers) came out fabulous, I really love the portrait. When they were 14 months old, and three years old, we had a portrait created and it is so similar. It's a beautiful combination. Thanks so much." -Pam J.
