Hey grads of 2020, we’ve missed you at our studio.
Although we haven’t been photographing over the last two months, we have been working hard behind the scenes to keep printing existing orders, creating digital downloads and answering all your emails, live chats and DMs. We have also been working closely with schools and school districts to accommodate both in-person and virtual ceremonies to make sure they have everything they need.
If you're following us on social media, you may have seen the conversations we have been having about #studentmentalhealth and how the current situation has impacted you.
We know how important graduation photos are, especially this year, and are feeling extra proud that we get to be a part of such a meaningful moment in this difficult time.
We have also been carefully planning a new way of operating our studio — a way that is safe for both our students and our staff — and are now feeling confident in our plans to re-open.
On June 1, 2020, our studio located at 353 West 7 Avenue in Vancouver will be reopening.
Students can make an appointment by visiting our website. Please know that we will be giving priority to students with upcoming composite deadlines, so if you are able to wait, we kindly ask you to book your appointment at the end of June or later (as dates become available). At this time, no walk-ins will be accepted and only individual portrait sessions will be offered — we hope it will be safe enough to offer group sessions again soon.
We have always been dedicated to the cleanliness of our studio and comfort of our guests, and now we’re taking it to the next level.
If you are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, have been in contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19, or traveled outside of BC within the last 14 days, you will need to reschedule your appointment.
We have been working hard to get our studio ready. Here are the measures we are taking to ensure the safety of our staff and guests:
For the graduating class of 2020, we know these have been stressful times. We’re looking forward to getting back to doing what we love — celebrating your achievement through photographs.
If you have any questions, concerns or just want to talk, please reach out to us by email at csr@artona.com or live chat on our website here.
We can't wait to see you!
