We are the largest and longest established locally owned portrait studio in Eastern Virginia, opening in 1972. We specialize in portraits of families, children, and high school seniors, as well as business and executive portraiture. We even create portraits of pets, as well as we do some aerial and commercial photography as well.

This was started in 1972 by David Keith Forrest, who was still in high school at the time, photographing weddings every weekend. By 1977 he opened the first studio next to Haygood shopping center in Virginia Beach, adding portraiture to the line. In 1981 we purchased the property on Shore Drive where 50 years later we continue to operate!
