Our Verdict

GradImages is primarily a graduation photography company that has expanded into school portraits. Their digital platform is genuinely modern and one of the best in the industry. Photo quality is good. But pricing is high, and the company's school portrait operation feels secondary to their graduation business. Worth considering if your school has a contract with them; not a company you'd specifically seek out for elementary or middle school portraits.
