Newborn Photographers to Maryland MD ~ { Smitten }

Dawn — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 02:35:47 +0000

Seems like this little newborn boy’s parents were just here for their maternity session – time sure does fly! Little “J” made his appearance right on time just over a week ago. Mom and Dad made the lengthy drive from Waldorf, Maryland so that I could play with their brand new blessing – believe me, the blessing was all mine!

It is always a joy to me to observe the love that new parents have for these little miracles that have been given them and this new mother and father were no different. It was clear that they are smitten with this new little human that God has entrusted to them.

So, mom and dad…here is your precious newborn baby’s sneak peek….

If you or someone you know in the NoVa, DC or MD area is interested in scheduling a ”your baby as {art}”™ session, call today and reserve your date.

Newborn Baby Photographers to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Wide Awake }

Dawn — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 13:36:04 +0000

This absolutely beautiful baby girlie was with us yesterday for her newborn session – however, she decided that she did NOT want to miss out on anything. So, she pretty much stayed wide awake for almost the entire session! I had to admit defeat and give her credit for outlasting me. As many of you know, I normally prevail in these situations but on this occasion – not so much!

So, her loving mommy is going drive back from Alexandria, Virginia again next week so we can create those dreamy, sleepy baby portraits that we all adore. In the mean time, the portrait below is the perfect representation of Miss J’s whole visit with us – big beautiful bright eyes and all! And look at her yummy baby cheeks…

Hope his doting family enjoys their sneak peek. Hope your little blessing is letting you get some night time zzzzzzz’s!

Baby Photographers to Woodbridge Virginia ~ { Little Sailor’s 1st Birthday }

Dawn — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:50:15 +0000

This handsome little sailor from Woodbridge Virginia was here just over 6 months ago and last week he came back for his 1st birthday portraits. I love watching “my” babies grow! This baby boy has the most amazing eye color and the loveliest lashes. Why is it that the little boys almost always have the longest eye lashes?

Mom & grandmom brought the cutest little linen sailor outfit and it just suited his skin tones perfectly. Hope his family enjoys this sneak peek of their adored little birthday boy.

Pregnancy Photographers Washington DC Metro Area ~ { Arriving Soon }

Dawn — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 22:22:11 +0000

This expectant couple from the Washington DC area are expecting their first child! How exciting! At 37 weeks, this mom-to-be is really in the nesting mode!

She wanted to capture this time with modest yet artfully expressive images of her pregnancy. In addition, we also set up a fun shot – see below – and darned if she wasn’t such a tiny thing that I had to ask her to “push” her bump up a bit so we could tell she was preggo! That is so not fair!

I hope she and her dear hubby enjoy their sneak peeks below.

This sweet baby girl came all the way from Fairfax Station Virginia for her first birthday portraits! She was not terribly thrilled to smash the cake but with a little encouragement, she ventured into the yummy icing. Ha, that’s a girl after my own heart!

Here’s a quick sneak peek for her mom, dad and two big brothers! Happy 1st Birthday Miss “O”!!

Baby Photographer to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Oh Baby! }

Dawn — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:08:10 +0000

A lovely mom from Alexandria Virginia brought her adorable baby girl in this week to celebrate her first birthday with some “baby’s 1st birthday portraits.” Before we got into the “smash the birthday cake” shots we caught just a few images of her in her girlie finerie. Precious little lips, rosey cheeks and beautiful eyes – she is picture perfect! But Oh Baby – she really enjoyed the second part when she got to eat the icing on the cake!

I remember when my daughter was this age and now she is getting ready to turn ten! Time flies so quickly…what better way to remember this milestone than with a few portraits like this?

Artful Baby { Newborn Photographers to Gainesville Virginia }

Dawn — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:52:03 +0000

Love this image from a newborn session last week and could not resist putting a bit of an artistic spin on it. This little man let us do anything with him…once he was in a deep sleep! Doesn’t he have the cutest itty bitty baby bottom?

Isn’t he the cutest little NY Giants fan you have ever seen? What a sport he was…looks like he is contemplating the next play action!

Dawn — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:15:03 +0000

I normally share two sneak peeks and since I only had time last week for one of these precious newborn twins, I wanted to share another one for their mother, father and extended family! There are so many cute ones it was hard to pick but this one has to be one of the cutest!

Happy New Year!

Dawn — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 22:06:48 +0000

Can you believe that 2010 is already upon us? Do you, like me, wonder where the time has gone and how it is that your children are growing so fast and furiously? Do you remember when the summer lasted forever and it seemed like ages between Christmases? I do! And I could just swear that I was holding my own ”babies” in my arms just a few short years ago but reality is that it was almost 10 years ago. So, what is my point you ask? Enjoy each and every day as if it were your last! Take time to hug your child, your husband, your friends. Wave at your neighbors and smile at the grocery store clerk or the stranger you pass on the street…you have no idea how one simple act like that can change a person’s day and brighten that one little moment in their lives!

It was cold a couple days ago and my kids were due to arrive home in a couple hours. Knowing how much they love to watch the fire burning, I thought it would be nice to build a fire in our fireplace for them as a surprise when they got home. After 15-20 minutes, I had a nice, cozy warm fire burning. Of course, if you ask my logical husband, he’d be the first to tell you that fireplaces are like letting all the heat in your house fly right up and out the chimney! Humbug! Even if that is true, there is something relaxing and warming to me about a fire in my fireplace so my dear hubby humors me…and I love him for it. And, apparently my little Frisco agrees with me as within minutes of me starting the fire, he had perched himself up on the arm of the overstuffed chair that flanks the fireplace. Guess that makes it four against one in favor of the fire!

Happy New Year dear friends and family! May God bless and prosper each of you…not only monitarily but with health and happiness in this brand new year we are embarking on. ~ Dawn

This sweet family from South Riding, Virginia received their Christmas present about a week early – their newborn baby boy! How joyful for them! They were here just a couple days before Christmas for their newborn portrait session and this little man was such a sleepy little one to start out with…what a joy he was to play with! We created some awesome “your baby as {art}”™ portraits of this little one that I cannot wait to show to his proud parents. Below are two of my personal favorites.
