This sweet, sweet couple from Fairfax, Virginia were in the studio this week for their pregnancy portrait art session and boy did we have fun! They love black and white photography so the first one is totally for them. But I love the rich warmth of the second image as it captures the beautiful connection and love between them.
Be sure to leave some blog love for this expecting couple…their little girlie will be here soon and I can’t wait to meet her!

Dawn – Hello Penny ~ All our maternity wraps are hand selected and custom made for our clients. We do not purchase them from suppliers. Sorry I could not be of any more help to you.
This darling couple from Lorton, Virginia were in the studio Friday for their pregnancy portrait session. The expectant mom-to-be requested one of my signature bump poses; the pink tulle and gerber daisy. I asked her if she was open to trying something unique and fortunately for me, she was! I love the way it turned out and hopefully she will to! Another “your bump as { Art }”™ original.

This beautiful expectant mom-to-be came into the studio this week for her pregnancy portraits session. This mom has the most beautiful and captivating blue eyes! I love, love, love this image…she is so cute and chic at the same time ~ a lovely young woman! So here’s a few sneak peeks for the family to share with friends!
Big sister came as well and she was your typical toddler~she brought her own agenda! Although she was a busy little girl, we coaxed her into a little reading time with mom which was so sweet to capture. You really can tell that she enjoys her regular reading times with mom. I can just see her reading to her little baby sister in a couple years!

Beth – I really love these photos, Dawn!! That little girl is just soooo cute! I love them in the white outfits. You’re right, the mom has such beautiful eyes and the first shot really captured them!! Another beautiful mom!
Angela Griffith – Oh my how sweet is this!!! Beautiful!!!!!!
This darling young lady from Warrenton, Virginia came in yesterday for her maternity portaits and we had the best time! Her baby boy was due on Tuesday so we are so glad he waited and allowed us the time to get his first portraits just prior to his arrival.
The portrait image below is especially touching, I think. The small photo next to her is of the expectant daddy when he was a baby…how sweet is that?
I just love this image below! Isn’t she just gorgeous? Can I just say that she’s just as beautiful, if not more beautiful on the inside! We had such a fun time together!
Now, I normally prefer color images but the black and white photography version is just as captivating on this mom-to-be!! Either version would be an awesome “your bump as art” ™ wall portrait.
And isn’t this cute??
And, just one more sneak peek because I cannot help myself! I just love this pose too. I decided to add some artful touches along with our Fine Art finish and I love the resulting image.

I am so far behind in my editing but I just had to share this beautiful baby bump from one of our creative pregnancy portrait sessions. Baby bumps are so beautiful towards the end of the pregnancy! The anticipation of the new little life that is about to emerge is just so exciting!
So here is another “your bump as art” ™ portrait ~ perfect for decorating the baby’s nursery!

This darling mom-to-be came into the studio today from Warrenton, Virginia for some artistic maternity portraits. She was at the very end of her pregnancy ~ her baby was actually due today! I am so glad the baby waited!
When you think about it, maternity portraits are really your baby’s first photos. So, we started off doing some very artistic images. The first one would be a wonderful “your bump as art” ™ wall portrait. Gorgeous in a bedroom setting!
After getting the creative images, we ended with some fun ones!
So, here is a sneak peek for the expectant mom and dad-to-be as they celebrate the final momements of their pregnancy. Be sure to share your comments with them below….
