Northern VA Newborn Photographer ~ { Biggest Littlest NY Giants Fan!}

Dawn — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:58:44 +0000

With the Super Bowl XLVI almost here, I remembered we have a past client that is a huge NY Giants fan. One of his “must have” portraits was of his brand new baby boy resting on a commemorative NY Giants Superbowl Champions football. So here he is, just hanging out, chillax’in and no doubt dreaming of a 4th Super Bowl win! Hope this littlest fan makes you smile and if you’re so inclined, maybe all of his dreams will come true!

This sweet little lad was a total gem…with the softest tufts of hair that I could not resist stroking constantly. He was simply amazing!

This Alexandria, Virginia Mom and Dad brought their sweet little love this week for her newborn session. She surprised them by coming two weeks early! At just under 6 pounds, she was such a delicate little creature. Her hair was so soft and her itty bitty baby toes were precious to behold. Loved every moment with her!

This is handsome little Chase Houston. Love his name. Lately, we have had some of the most unique and classy boys’ names and this one is no exception! Bet you can’t guess that Dad enjoys the sport of hunting…the camo gives it away, right?

Baby Sasha was such a sweet little newborn baby! She has family all the way over in India who have been waiting to see her mom and dad’s favorite portraits from her newborn session last month. I hope they all enjoy Miss Sasha in all her beautiful newborn beauty!

Maryland Newborn Baby Photographer ~ { Pure Joy }

Dawn — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 07:15:21 +0000

It truly was pure joy to work with this gorgeous newborn baby boy! He nearly slept through his entire session which gave ample opportunity to capture so many beautiful, artistic newborn images. This first time mom and dad drove all the way from Accokeek, Maryland which is all the way over in Prince Georges County. And, we could not have been more delighted and honored to have them come.

Please be sure to leave some baby love for the happy new parents!

This newborn baby’s family is from right down the road in Gainesville, Virginia so it was a short little ride to the studio for his newborn session. He slept through the first whole hour and hardly made a sound except for these precious little peeps and sweet little baby whimpers. Such a precious baby boy!

So, the second half of the session was a bit different to the first! Baby was happily awake and giving us some of the cutest expressions. Check out this little “happy baby” look! Super cute, right? You betcha!

Newborn Photographer near Arlington Virginia ~ { Baby Sweetness }

This little bundle of baby sweetness was a last minute squeeze-in and at 26 days old, she was much more alert that most of our little newborn babies. But oh how sweet she was! Just look at her precious expression in the first picture! Doesn’t it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?? It does me! I know her proud new mother and father are anxiously awaiting this sneak peek so lets not make them wait one minute more!

Here is your beautiful little Sasha in all her yummy newborn sweetness!

Newborn Photographer near Springfield Virginia ~ { Daddy’s Boy }

I was thinking about title to this post and really wanted to put “spitting image” but without a photo of this little one’s daddy, it would be moot. But, seriously though…in the entire time I have been specializing in newborn photography, I have never seen a brand new baby be such a striking likeness to his daddy! I wish I could show you in this post but you’ll have to settle for the cuter of the two…Baby Nolan. (And, boy do I love his name too!)

Dad’s a huge NY Mets fan so he brought along his mitt and even a David Wright jersey. We used the jersey in a separate portrait but I decided to share this one because I love the colors and I know mom said it would go so well in baby’s nursery.

This portrait below was created using a very special blanket hand made by little Nolan’s great aunt in memory of his Great Grandfather who loved trains. We hung this heirloom-to-be blanket up as a background so all it’s handiwork could be appreciated. What a treasure this will become for this little one.

A few weeks back, this little sweetie came for one of our baby sessions and if you recall, we had loads of fun! Now that her mommy & daddy have been back for the reveal, we can share more of the adorable expressions we captured…I bet she makes you smile just as much as she did me! Plus, I know her aunties, uncles and grandparents are dying to see them all too…enjoy!

Baby Photographer to Woodbridge Virginia ~ { Miss Charlotte Grace }

I am truly a blessed woman. God has blessed me in so many, many ways…there are too many to count. However, one blessing that I can name right now is all the beautiful babies and their families that allow me to reach into their lives for what really is such a brief moment…but one that captures a smile or an expression that will last a lifetime.

And, this family is no exception. It was only 12 short months ago when I met Miss Charlotte Grace when she captivated our hearts. And as beautiful as she was then as a fresh, newborn baby, she is equally beautiful now as she embarks on her second year of life. What joy to see our sweet babies growing up! As I said, I am a blessed woman…enjoy this little beauty!

Baby Photographers to Dulles Virginia ~ { Baby Fun! }

What fun 6 month old baby sessions are!! We always enjoy playing with babies this age. This little sweetheart’s big sister was here just over two years ago and I can’t help but imagine her being such a good big sister.

Mom & baby came from Dulles, Virginia for some artistic baby photography and we were excited to be able to use a few new props that have been waiting for just the right age baby. Love Miss C’s chubby, rosy cheeks and her sweet piggy toes poking out the doll crib. And just look at her toothless smile! Precious!

I know this sweetie’s family is so anxious to see this sneak peek…enjoy it!

Newborn Photographer near Alexandria Virginia ~ { Baby Tèa }

Dawn — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 07:11:27 +0000

Time for a slide show! This brand new mom and dad are from Alexandria, VA but they have family across the United States, as well as abroad, who are anxiously waiting to see this precious little girl.

Baby Tèa’s grandmother will recognize two very special keepsakes in the last portrait. Both the old teddy bear and the “cherry tree” blanket were her own daughter’s childhood lovies. It was our privilege to incorporate them into one of baby Tèa’s portraits…all though I don’t think she noticed as she sleep right through it all tucked down in her basket! What a sweetie! Enjoy!

Baby Photographer to Woodbridge Virginia ~ { Baby, She’s Growing Up! }

Dawn — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 17:27:02 +0000

It is hard to believe that Little Miss C was here just a short year ago ~ what a beautiful baby girl she is growing up to be! It leaves me scratching my head and wondering, where on earth did the last year go? We had a ton of fun and Miss C’s personality could best be described as; “HRH Cutie Pie”! She has so much energy that I know she wears her momma out by the end of each day!

So, here’s my favorite portrait from Miss C’s First Birthday Session…I love her sweet smile and her adorable piggy toes!
