Children's Portraits

Special Little Ones:  Our children portraits are done with love, care and creativity.  Shannon knows that children need to be comfortable with their surroundings to get a great picture. This is why every session is booked with plenty of time, taking into consideration feedings, changes, and even getting over shyness. We also know that it is important not to wear your little model out, so we keep shooting time fun and to a minimum.  Portraits will be created using studio props as well as any items specific to your child that you would like to bring. This makes the possibilities endless. You will have unique portraits to remember these special moments...Always and Forever.

Because every moment of  child's life is special,  Always and Forever offers 3 levels of our "All Things Grow With Love" plan.  These plans are not just for babies but can also be used for children up to age 10 and is a great way to keep those portraits up to date as your little one grows. Each plan last a year and offers discounts on portraits ordered within the plan. Other items that can be added to your plan are: hardbound First Year coffee table books, Everything Grows With Love first year collage, portrait purses/diaper bags, canvas and metallic prints.
