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!

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.

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.

Here is a sneak peek of your adorable little blessing!

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!

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 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…

Baby Photographer to Ashburn Virginia ~ { Donaldinho, the next Ronaldinho? }

Roger — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:39:20 +0000

This dad from Ashburn Virginia and his best buds are huge soccer players and fans. So when dad & mom requested that we shoot some dad & baby portraits on his commemorative world cup soccer ball we were happy to oblige. For those of you not into soccer ( as was I ) Ronaldo de Assis Moreira is a Brazilian “footballer” who plays for Italian Serie A club Milan and the Brazil national team.

Ronaldo is commonly known as “Ronaldinho” ~ which is Portuguese for “Little Ronaldo”. He is widely regarded as one of the most gifted footballers of his generation. Well, it looks as if a new generation of soccer stars has been born and you could hardly get an earlier start than 7 days old.

So for mom & dad Donald, your soccer team, friends and fans, here’s a sneak peek of your little Donald or “Donaldinho” !

The second image is especially for the proud new mother… she desperately was hoping we could catch her new baby boy smiling and smile he did!

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!
