At no time in your child’s life will changes occur so rapidly as they do during the first year and early childhood years that follow. In what seems like the blink of an eye, a tiny helpless bundle is transformed into an active, robust, and inquisitive youngster. These changes have already begun! Capture each developmental stage of the first year and beyond!
Rarely can a single photograph capture the priceless heart-touching emotions you feel about your newborn. But a beautifully conceived image collection can . . . by revealing the artful nuances of expression, physical charm, and heartfelt emotion that characterize the fleeting days of infancy. The result can be a truly artful view of family relationships that creates an exceptional decorative focal point for your home.
Our The Bebe Collection captures your child’s first milestones . . . from birth . . . to sitting up . . . to crawling . . . and finally the independence of walking. This lovely “portrait story” can become the first chapter of your child’s Portrait History — an album of priceless images of childhood — which someday your child can share with your grandchildren.
Baby’s first year also is the perfect time for portraits with family members — including older siblings and even grandparents — or create the ultimate heirloom: the multi-generation portrait.
The Bebe Collection includes:

Let us create your own very special artwork . . . an enchanting composite or individual portrait featuring those charming physical characteristics that fill your heart with so much love.
- The Moment (6 months): At six months the baby should be sitting up independently. These moments are full of giggles and smiles.
- The Freedom (1 year to 13 months): The best to capture this session is when the baby is standing alone or taking a few steps. Now the fun really begins!!!
Note: These first 2 sessions are quite extensive, often lasting 3 hours to allow plenty of time for eating, changing, and cuddling between photographs.
