High contrast imaging of nearby circumstellar dust disks around young stars can in principle reveal much about the composition and properties of the dust that reflects the central star's light, testing theories of planet formation and evolution with observable constraints. In practice, knowledge of the dust has been hampered by the challenging nature of the observations and the small number of wavelengths imaged. We present a combination of new HST NICMOS photometry of three nearby disks that may be in the process of forming planets with archival data. We produce the first reflectance spectra from the visible to the near-IR for these disks.
