One day all the biggest celebrities had the first professional photo sessions. As for the actors and actresses, it is the very moment when they can maintain their growing popularity with the help of a good shot.

These photographs have some interesting things. Firstly, people we know are really young or even are children in the photos. Secondly, there is no feeling of “star” on their faces, or, by contrast, some of them already were very self-confident. Thirdly, the atmosphere of the pictures brings up pleasant nostalgia.
