Maternity Photographers to Washington DC ~ { Chic Windy Mama }

Dawn M. Miller — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:39:02 +0000

Like most photographers, I get an itch from time to time to try something different. I’ve had these maternity poses in my mind for some time now & I’ve been waiting for someone willing to indulge my creative juices. This lovely lady gave me free reign… and she totally rocked the “windy mama” pose! On top of that, doesn’t she just “glow” in the pink maternity wrap?

The pregnant body is such a beautiful thing to behold and be proud of. You are carrying the gift of life – what a awesome experience you have been given as a new mom. Many of our clients have been trying for years to become pregnant and we are so honored when they allow us to help them celebrate their pregnancy with maternity portrait art for their home.

Thinking about maternity pictures? Our studio in the Washington DC metro area specializes in chic maternity portraits that are elegant yet modest & sometimes even a little ”windy.” Just imagine… your bump as {art}™ !

Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer ~ { In Daddy’s Hands }

Dawn M. Miller — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 02:35:57 +0000

This newborn baby’s mom & dad commissioned us to create this image for a canvas to hang on a large wall behind their baby grand piano. Mom had noticed the artistic photography which is often featured on the top TV show Extreme Home Makeover and wanted a similar art piece of her baby boy. We were delighted to be able to fulfill her request and we cannot wait to see the canvas when it arrives in the studio!

I love this pose – it really captures the contrast of this tiny newborn in his daddy’s strong hands. Daddy’s are such an important part of a child’s life and I think this pose just speaks volumes, don’t you?

Let us capture “your baby as {art}” ™. For the best selection of appointment availability, contact our Northern Virginia portrait studio today to reserve your newborn session.

Maternity Photographers to Maryland MD ~ { Elegant Baby Bump }

Dawn M. Miller — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 01:35:07 +0000

Yesterday we welcomed a lovely couple all the way from Waldorf, Maryland who wanted to celebrate this special time in their lives with elegant maternity portraits.

I absolutely adore how this pink maternity wrap accentuates this beautiful mom-to-be’s baby bump. Isn’t she stunning? Wow. And then, we have dad ”listening” to his growing baby…and it was so sweet that his little baby started kicking him whilst he was listening. Precious.

Newborn Baby Photographer to Stafford Virginia ~ { It’s a girl! }

Dawn M. Miller — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 04:03:38 +0000

This little one’s Mom & Dad decided to not find out if they were having a boy or a girl until delivery day. Secretly, I was hoping for a little girl simply because we have had a ton of baby boys at the studio since January. And so, when mom said she had a little princess, we were very excited to use a few new “girlie” items that we have picked up over the last few months.

Thank you “V” family for driving all the way from Stafford, Virginia to allow us the honor of capturing this most precious time in your newborn baby girl’s life. I hope you and your family enjoy this little sneak peek of your princess!

Newborn Photographers in Warrenton Virginia ~ { Womb-Mates }

Dawn M. Miller — Wed, 12 May 2010 01:06:53 +0000

Look at these precious newborn twins from Warrenton Virginia! At two months old, I was concerned that we would not be able to get that “newborn” look that mom really wanted but with persistance and a good pinch of patience, we were able to achieve the “miracle shot” we were looking for!

What a pleasure this little brother & sister where to work with…their mommy, daddy and grandparents are truly “double” blessed. Mom and dad ordered a beautiful gallery wrapped canvas of the second portrait of the twins. We all can’t wait to see it when it arrives…it is going to be amazing in person!

Baby Photographers in Warrenton Virginia ~ { Sonnenschein }

Dawn M. Miller — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:50:02 +0000

Last week, this sweet doll baby from Warrenton Virginia came to the studio. Little Miss “G” has been here before and she always makes me work really, really hard for her smiles but I have to say they are soooo worth it! When she smiles, she lights up the room like sunshine on a summer day. In fact, that is the pet name her Austrian grandmother has for her… her little ”sonnenschein” which is German for sunshine.

So, here is a sneak peek for this sweet baby girl’s family!

Newborn Baby Photographers to Culpeper Virginia ~ { Soft }

Dawn M. Miller — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 00:44:14 +0000

I had the pleasure of meeting the sweetest new mom and dad from Culpeper Virginia last week. This is their first baby and you could just feel the pride emanating from them both!

For me personally, I fell head-over-heels in love with this 12-day old little man’s hair. It was sooo soft and just made you want to continually ”pet” him – not to mention cuddle him!

Just look at this precious face with a glorious topping of the softest hair…

Newborn Baby Photographer to Ashburn Virginia ~ { Little Drummer Boy }

Dawn M. Miller — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:21:57 +0000

This week we had the sweetest couple from Ashburn Virginia come to the studio for a newborn baby session. Their new “Little Drummer Boy” was delightful to work with. Dad is a RUSH fan and as such, he brought along his snare drum for me to use as a special prop. I love it when clients share their ideas. The image below is the result and I think we’d all agree that this is the cutest little RUSH fan ever!

Children’s Photographer to Bristow Virginia ~ { Vintage }

Dawn M. Miller — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:37:43 +0000

These two beautiful children from Bristow, Virginia were here a week ago. All though I will show the color version of these childrens portraits to their parents, I fell in love with this vintage look and decided to share those here on the blog. Yummy!

Feel free to leave comments for their mommy & daddy! We all love to hear how adorable our little ones are!

Newborn Photographer to Ashburn Virginia ~ { Curls Galore }

Dawn M. Miller — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 02:10:54 +0000

Just before the snow began to fall last week, this sweet couple and their newborn baby son came from Ashburn Virgina for a newborn portrait art session. What a sweet baby he is! He slept nearly the entire time with only a little squeak now and again. Oh, and his HAIR! Love, love, love his hair!! I had a really hard time keeping my hands off of his soft curls!

Dad is a marine who was home for the birth of his son and must return to the west coast next week so I know he will enjoy seeing this sneak peek of his brand new baby boy!

Dude { Newborn Photographers to Rockville Maryland }

Dawn M. Miller — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 01:54:29 +0000

This little guy from the Rockville Maryland area was in last week and was Mr. Smiley for all of about 40 minutes at which time he decided the session was over – lol! He just was not in the mood so mom and grandma brought him back this past week. This time, he was totally “on”. His other grandma calls him “Dude” and says he smiles when she does, so you know I had to try it and believe it or not, it did get his attention! Too cute!

So, here is a sneak peek from little “Dude’s” second visit…he did great mom and dad!

Teddy Baby { Newborn Photographers Suburban Maryland }

Dawn M. Miller — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:25:39 +0000

On Wednesday we made new friends with an entire family from Olney Maryland…and their new little man got to have a teddy bear party and meet some new fuzzy friends himself! At 10 weeks old we knew we’d get some awesome expressions! Just look at that little grin and those bright baby blue eyes!

I know his adoring family have been waiting patiently for his sneak peek so lets leave them some blog love in the comment box below!

Twins { Newborn Photographers in Northern Virginia }

Dawn M. Miller — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 22:24:56 +0000

Oh my goodness, these precious newborn twins from Vienna, Virginia just melted my heart! Their mom and dad are blessed indeed. I was **told** that Miss S was a bit more fiesty than her brother but they both were totally awesome throughout their entire portrait session. Mom, Dad and family have been patiently waiting for a sneak peek of this little pair since early in the week….so here they are!

Creative { Newborn Photographers to Arlington Virginia }

Dawn M. Miller — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:27:01 +0000

This precious newborn baby boy and his proud mommy came all the way from Arlington, Virginia yesterday as a squeeze-in appointment… I am soooo glad we were able to accomodate them as we had such a wonderful time with this sleeply little man. All though he arrived almost four weeks earlier than expected, this premie still weighed in at a healthy 7 lb, 8oz and 21″ long!! I know mom was wondering what he would have weighed had he reached full term! Yikes!

Mom loves hats… so here are a few sneak peeks for her of her little blessing donning some of her favorites from our creative newborn hats collection here at the studio!

Don’t forget ~ parents of our newborns always love your comments…. don’t be shy! Leave them some blog love below…

Unique { Infant Photographers in Washington DC Metro Area }

Dawn M. Miller — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:42:46 +0000

This beautiful little baby boy posed with his equally beautiful mother for some classic mom & baby portraits. He had the cutest little head of hair that had a mind of it’s own! Dad, mom and baby traveled from Woodstock, Virginia and even though baby was almost four weeks old, we were still able to capture this very, very special time with some unique infant portraits for his proud parents.

Here’s a quick sneak peek of their portrait session for you all to enjoy. Don’t forget to use the gray comment box below to leave them some blog love……
