LoveBug Photography

About the Photographer:  Tracy Siep

LoveBug Photography is a small home-based (and rapidly growing) studio in Sachse, Texas.  I feel that having a home studio offers a more comfortable environment for my clients, as well as the individualized attention that I am able to provide.  We just have fun!

LoveBug Photography was formed out of a hope for me to stay home and be close to our son.  This dream would not be possible without the constant love and support that I have from my husband and family.  I discovered my talent for photography after the birth of our son.  I could not stop taking snap shots of him.  My interest quickly turned into the desire to learn everything I could about children’s portraiture.

I am an active member of Professional Photographer’s of America and Texas Professional Photographer’s Association.  Both organizations offer photographers the best of the best in education, and I have been very fortunate to travel and study with some of the best and brightest photographers in my field.

I have been blessed with so many wonderful opportunities to capture the beauty and spirit of the children that I photograph.  They are all precious miracles and it is my hope that the portraits that I create are loved and treasured for many years to come.

Product Line

Wall Portraits

We have a wide selection of framing options available to fit all your needs.  Because your images deserve the best possible presentation, I only use quality all wood mouldings for all of my framing creations.

Gallery Wrap Canvases

This piece is an excellent modern way to showcase your portraits!.  It is a printed canvas that is wrapped and custom stretched on a wooden stretcher frame.  It arrives beautiful and ready to hang in your home as an art piece.  Each gallery wrap is personally signed and dated by me.

Artist Canvas

This piece provides more of a traditional style in decorating your home.  It features a canvas print that is custom framed with one of our beautiful frame mouldings.  All artist canvas prints are personally signed and dated by me.

Fine Art Paper

This piece is printed on a museum quality, archival cotton paper.  It provides a nice watercolor appearance.  Add one our custom frames to complete your portrait.

Specialty Prints

Specialty prints feature a metallic or pearl finish, and have a richer color and shine that add to the overall appearance of the portrait.  These prints are great for use in our panel creations or framed separately.

Brag Books

Brag books are a wonderful way to create an heirloom book that can be passed down from generation to generation.  They are all custom created by me and are packed full of all your treasured memories from your portrait sessions.

Portrait Handbags

A huge hit with mommies and grandmas everywhere!  These custom portrait bags come in all sizes with your little one as the star for the world to see.  Too cute to miss!

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I schedule a session?

• Please try to schedule your child at his or her best time of the day.  A well rested and well fed child is usually a happy child.
• Please do not schedule a session in the same week as a doctor’s visit for shots or an illness.  Your child may feel out of sorts for the session.

What do I bring to the session?

• NEWBORN SESSIONS: Please bring multiple changes of clothing for all involved in the session!  I sometimes photograph newborn babies in the buff, and they will give us gifts in return.
• Please bring two or more outfits for your child's portrait session.  Shoes are optional.  Bare feet are beautiful!
• Moms and Dads please bring clothing that complements your child’s outfits as well, just in case we add you to the portraits (planned or not planned).
• Please feel free to bring any favorite toys or blankets that may help your child to feel comfortable during the session.  They may end up as a supporting role for your little star.
• Please feel free to bring food and drinks for you and your child.  I have snacks and drinks on hand also just in case.

How long should I plan for?

My ultimate goal is to provide a nice and relaxing atmosphere for you and your family.  On average my sessions last about 1 to 2 hours.  We will take breaks whenever needed.  If a session takes longer, it just does.  Every child has different needs.  I am here to help capture your precious memories.  These things can not be rushed — so relax and enjoy!  They are only little for a short while.

When can I see my Portraits?

• A portrait viewing and ordering time will be scheduled at the end of your portrait session.  This is usually two to three days after the photography session.
• It is very important that all decision makers be present at the time of the portrait viewing to facilitate the ordering process.
• I require a 50% down payment at the time of your portrait order.  The balance is due at time of pick-up or delivery of your portrait order.  All orders that are paid in full at the time of the portrait viewing session will receive a bonus gift.

How long will it take to get my portraits?

On average your order should arrive in 2 to 3 weeks.  However, please allow 4 to 6 on all custom album designs, custom framed creations & canvas art prints.
