Company history
We have served in the children's photography industry for over 17 years, specializing in portraits of infant to 5 year old children.  We photograph predominantly in preschools, daycare centers and private schools. We also serve the portrait needs of siblings, graduates and staff. 
Our work is known nationwide, with more than 80,000 clients -including the US Military's children.
Over the years we have trained and managed a large number of photographers to work with children in many regions across the country.
 
Many ask what we do differently, and it's quite simple.  We are there to entertain the children and take the portraits while doing so. This involves the children in the process which gives the natural expressions we are all looking for.  There is none of the "smile, cheese" technique which reap fake expressions and frozen grins.  The rewards of this process are timeless and priceless. These are the portraits you will place above the mantel to enjoy for many generations to come.  Our focus is not on props or gimmicks but rather on the child.  This gives the portrait a timeless elegance like the "Hollywood Regency" Portraits of the 1920's.  We take several poses to embrace and record different aspects of your child's personality.
  Our first priority is to give each child and parent the attention and respect they deserve. We produce high quality portraits with options for the parents to order whatever they want, wherever they want.  We do this by offering a CD of their portraits with full reprint permission, in addition to or instead of ordering prints.
Your center's director has the choice of backgrounds including black velvet, blue, bookshelf, beach scene and more.
We also offer special holiday sets and graduate poses.
