Senior portraits are some of the most important photographs you will ever have taken as they capture who you are right now, in a very exciting time in your life! Here at The Forrest Gallery we have a passion for senior photography. Don't fall for the brochures and website photos you see from the school photography companies, which are usually models hired to be photographed by the "chief" photographer, usually in another state.
Having children of his own, Keith Forrest truly understands the importance of capturing your loved ones as they are before time passes you by. Expressions are everything in a portrait of a child. Maybe its capturing a soft, angelic look in the eyes, or an energetic personality through a sweet smile.
Nothing can be more memorable or an heirloom to be passed down generations as a fine portrait on canvas of you ro your loved one in their uniform. As this is the home of the largest military presence in the world, we want to give thanks to the men and women in uniform who serve our country.

We received a coupon from our orthodontist for a free portrait session, including several
photos. Booked an appointment, and then my daughter wanted to loose a few pounds and get a slight tan......so we tried to reschedule, and he proceeded to say my daughter was fat and asked about her weight (RUDE and CREEPY)....and told me he didn’t want my daughter getting a
little tan....why is he telling us what we want 😡. Also, when I asked to rebook for June, he informed me that I would be charged $200 for a sitting fee (my coupon has no expiration date), hence I informed him that we would find another

I had my senior pictures done by them 20 years ago, and wouldn't trust my daughter's senior portraits to anyone else but Mr. Forrest. He is very professional, and spent time making sure the everything was just right!! I highly recommend Forrest Gallery Studio for all your photography needs!

Talk about getting them all done is a miracle.

These folks are classy and top quality without the stuffiness. From scheduling to the day of, both ladies were both so helpful to my daughter and I in getting the best senior pictures without the stress. They gave us tons of helpful information. The sets, backgrounds and props were out of this world. They allowed for her multiple clothing changes and and gave her a dressing room for touchups and didn't limit her. In fact, they encouraged her and added to her ideas. When it came to choosing what prints and things we wanted to order there was no pressure. The studio is gorgeous and you can certainly
