Portraits

Graduating seniors can take their graduate portraits to be put into the yearbook. All graduate portrait purchases and transactions go through our partner, Lauren Studios.

Go to Lauren Studios Website

The portrait packages themselves are available for purchase through Lauren Studios. While Blue & Gold Yearbook helps mediate the photo-taking process, we have no jurisdiction over graduate portrait appointments, proofs, or photo package prices. Any questions regarding such matters should be directed to Lauren Studios.

How To Sign Up

Lauren Studios, our partner photography company, will send out emails to graduating students in staggered batches throughout the academic year with instructions on how to sign up for graduate portraits. If you have not received this email or would like to sign up immediately, please email us for instructions.

You are able to log in or create an account with Lauren Studios. Log in with:

[UID] being your UC Berkeley University ID, which you can find in the campus directory.

When and Where?

Graduate portraits are taken in the yearbook office at 175 MLK. You'll be able to make an appointment for a specific date and time after you receive an email from Lauren Studios.

After Your Portrait

In 2-3 weeks, Lauren Studios should send you an email containing image files of the portraits you took. You’ll be asked to select one to be featured in the Yearbook.
