_______________________________________
Our Bebe collection is the greatest way remember the first year of your childs life! The infant is ever-changing in the first year. Capturing each phase of development is an opportunity to create wonderful enduring memories of important milestones. Experience the joy and piece of mind that you will be able to hold on to those unique and fleeting moments. Each Bebe Collection Series includes three sessions listed below in their first year, as well as a Custom Bebe Collection Frame, for $99.
The Beginning
Newborn to 3 months
Such an enchanting moment to capture the beauty and innocence of a newborn child. Tiny fingers, toes, and all those little treasures that warm your heart can be revisited for years to come. The infant will be bare or in a diaper cover. This is also a great opportunity to create wonderful relationship portraits with Mom and Dad.
The Moment
6 months
At six months the baby should be sitting up on its own. These moments are filled with giggles and smiles. Clothing should be kept simple. Diaper covers, bloomers, overalls, and tiny tulle skirts are perfect for a baby's session.
The Freedom
1 year
The best time to capture this session is when the baby is standing alone or taking a few steps. Now the fun really begins! Clothing can be simple or the baby can be all dressed up. Bring a few outfits and we will help choose the best one for your series.
Madonna Portraits
The Madonna Session gives a great start to your childs baby album.

The Boutique
...Please Call for Product Details & Pricing...
It is not a good idea to try a new hairstyle right before your portrait session, try your hair styles around a week before your session is scheduled. If you need help we will consult you for free over the phone, or in person. We also offer a hair and makeup service here at our studio for a small fee. Call us for details.
- Girls...
Your makeup will effect the way your portraits look. Fresh, natural makeup or "evening" makeup generally photograph best.
Guys...
Its a good idea to shave your face before your session. If your a beard or mustache guy, be sure it is trimmed to your liking.
Don't worry about that unsightly pimple that pops up the day before your session date. Any issues you have with your skin (pimples, scars, harsh lines, rashes, tattoos, etc...) that you do not want in your pictures, we can retouch* and eliminate them.
Tan Lines
We will remove* your tan or sunburn lines, as they tend to draw attention away from your face. Let us know if you get a bad sunburn, and we can work out rescheduling your session date.
Braces
Despise those braces? We can paint them away using our retouching* tools, and have them looking how you want them! Some dentists are willing to remove braces for your session, if you allow time to schedule the procedure.
Glasses
We will remove all the normal glare that may reflect from your glasses, but tinted lenses cannot be lightened to expose your eyes better. If you have tinted lenses, or your lenses are very thick, they will distort the way a camera will photograph your eyes. If this case pertains to you, ask your optometrist for a pair of empty frames to use at your photo session. If you have any questions about your glasses, or regarding retouch fees, please contact us.
*depending on the circumstances, retouching may add extra charges to your bill as it can take more time for us to process your portraits. Any questions? Call us, 1(540) 289-9795.
Guide To Looking Your Best
For your yearbook photo, head & shoulders or other close-up poses, dress in something very simple in color and style.
You should try to arrive about 10 minutes early. Your experience will be best if you have more time to hang out, relax, and prepare for your session. Your welcome to look around the studio and get ideas, or just enjoy our gallery with many different beautiful portraits on display.
What will the session be like?
We like to make our portrait sessions as fun as possible! We will be moving you around quite a bit so we can get all those perfect shots, but don't worry, we wont make it too hard for you. Its ok to be a little nervous at first, but the friendly atmosphere here will have you normal and happy in no time.
Can I bring a friend with me?
Yes! We encourage you to bring a friend, or a relative. They will help you feel more relaxed and confident while you are here. We may even allow your friend to be in a couple photos with you as well.
When do I decide what portraits I want to order?
Once we have your previews ready, we will contact you and set up a time for you to come view them. Don't worry... we will explain the process better to you when you come for your portrait session.
Can I order additional portraits later?
Of course. We have our clients photographs all the way back to the 1950's. So any time you need additional pictures, give us a call.
Any other questions?
Call us anytime Monday - Friday, from 9am - 5pm. Or Saturday 9pm - 1pm
