Just wanted to quickly share an image from another newborn portrait session of a Warrenton Virginia client.   Don’t you think this image is just perfect for this season?   This precious little baby boy took a while to settle down into his “pumpkin patch” but the resulting portrait was well worth it!  So without further adieu, here’s…   “your baby as art” ™.
