Fall in Virginia!
Summer is done! The new school year is beginning and right away your calendars are crammed with all kinds of activities, large and small. What an exciting time in the life of a family! Remember we only have 18 of these special times for each of our children, so we are often reminded at this time of year how fleeting is the time we get to spend with our most loved ones. So make the most of it and enjoy the wonderful fall in Virginia! If you are looking for fun-filled things to do with the kiddos this fall, just click the button below!

Fall Portraits
Fall is a great time to have Bob Harper Portraits create a hand-crafted family portrait that will grace your wall for years and will for sure become a treasured family heirloom far into the future. This is the busiest time of the year for the Studio, so do not delay to grab your spot on the calendar. If you want to chat about it, you may schedule a phone call with me at the button below.
Photographers are visual storytellers. Every family has a compelling story that needs to be told, celebrated, and archived for future generations. That's what I do for my clients. May I perform this service for you? You will be so happy you decided to do this!

Upcoming Events!
Down Syndrome Awareness Month
Since the 1980's, October has been designated as the month to celebrate people with Down Syndrome and make others aware of their abilities and accomplishments. Once again, we are supporting the Down Syndrome Association of Hampton Roads (DSAHR) by having our Associate Photographer, the awesome Stefanie Ward, return to the Studio to lend her phenomenal portrait skills in support of this fund-raising campaign. During October, we are donating Stefanie's session fees ($250) to the DSAHR in recognition of what the organization does for our greater Hampton Roads community. So, if you would like your family or a family member photographed by Stefanie during October, rest assured that you will be supporting a great organization with an extremely important mission---AND receiving an outstanding Legacy portrait created by Stefanie and completed by me, one that will become a treasured family heirloom for generations. As many of you know, the key element in great portraiture is the connection between the subject and the photographer. No one epitomizes that better than Stefanie! You will be amazed!
