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.
Wow, we had so much fun during your session getting to know the two of you! I hope you love your two sneak peek portraits as much as we do!! ♥ ♥
Dear Dawn, Mary and Roger,
Thank you so much for sharing this special time with us!!!! Marina and I love our sneak peak photos and look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures:-)
Sincerely,
Eric and Marina
Absolutely stunning! It was such a pleasure meeting both of you. Mary T.
Wow this Mom to be is stunning! Love the emotion you captured with Dad to be in the second one!! Gorgeous images!!!
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.

We enjoyed every minute of our session together with you guys…you did GREAT! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek! ♥ ♥
What a beautiful shot of the mom to be. She looks so peaceful! I love the second photo! Every time I see you do that shot, I think it’s so sweet!!
I absolutely love those shots. She is one beautiful pregnant lady! Your photos are fantastic!
This sweet mom and dad-to-be came from Alexandria, Virginia this week for a “your bump as { art }”™ maternity portrait session. Mom brought a few items from home to use and I just adore the red silk shawl she brought! She said her aunt actually put all the beautiful fringe on the edges…what an elegant way to capture this special time and honor her Spanish heritage.
Please feel free to leave your comments in the grey comment box below for the excited mother and father-to-be!

Zach & Naomi ~ What an honor to create portrait art of your maternity for you! You are such a lovely couple and I cannot wait to meet your little one soon! ♥ ♥
Beautiful couple! And I LOVE that red shawl!!
It’s Jodi0225 from BZ. These are AWESOME pics. You look so radiant and the two of you look so happy :)
Naomi – you look beautiful! Love the red shawl and the belly shots! Amazing!!! Love you!
You look stunning! Simply beautiful and radiant!
Naomi & Zach: These photos are absolutely gorgeous!
Naomi, you are positively gorgeous!
A moment captured in time…a tender moment…a brief moment…a bittersweet memory that will last in this couple’s hearts forever. Shortly after the creation of this image, their sweet baby boy slipped from this world into the arms of Jesus. For reasons his sweet parents will never understand, he was called home.
Their loss touched all of us here at the studio deeply and we continue to pray for them. So, at the request of his parents, I share this in memory of little Micah Aiden. You can tell he was loved so very deeply…

I absolutely LOVE this portrait of the two of you together…it captured the love you both feel for each other and for little Micah. God bless, Dawn ♥ ♥
Beautiful photo Shop. You, Mike and my precious nephew Micah are always in my prayers. Love you all so much. As always Dawn, your work is gorgeous. I’m so happy that they were able to capture this moment. May God continue to Bless and keep you all.
This brings tears to my eyes. What a wonderful and touching shot. I am praying for this couple over the loss of their precious Mikah.
I love the emotion in this image! Stunning
What a gorgeous portrait! My heart goes out to them and sweet baby Micah.
Such a sweet couple from Front Royal, Virginia! They visited the studio last week for portrait art of their precious baby bump. Boy, I wish I had looked this good at 32 weeks! We can’t wait to meet their baby boy in October… he’ll be here before we know it!
Family, friends and blog readers – please feel free to leave this expectant mom and dad a comment!

Gorgeous! I love how you capture the emotion so well!!!
These shots are wonderful. I love how the mom-to-be looks in that gorgeous crocheted sweater! Just beautiful!
This expecting mom & dad were here a few days ago from Alexandria, Virginia for their maternity portraits. They are such a sweet, sweet couple and I cannot wait to meet their little boy! He is destined to be a Green Bay Packers football fan if his dad has any say about it!
So, here are a couple sneak peeks of “your bump as { art }”™ and I just love them both! Hope you do too!!

Dawn, I LOVE how all the colors of the floor, chair, drop (and of course Mom) blend to create such a classic portrait feel in the second image. EXCELLENT !!
Jason & Zolaika ~ I really enjoyed working with the two of you both. Can’t wait to meet your little man when he arrives! ♥ ♥
Breathtaking!!! These are incredible!!!
Wow! The second shot especially is so beautiful. I love the colors and contrasts you used in that one. What a beautiful mom to be!
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!
If you’re pregnant and live near Fairfax VA we’d love to help you capture this special time with artistic maternity & newborn portraits.
Imagine… “your bump as { art }” ™

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.
These pictures are the most beautiful, and so creative that I’ve ever seen. Your work is amazing. I’m from Weslaco,Tx. I’ve been looking for a photographer ever since I turned 5 mths and now that I’m 2wks away from my due date its been so hard. I hope one day u decide to open up a studio closer by bkuz there is nothing like that here. Luv ur wrk ♥
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 has been a busy, busy week with maternity portrait sessions… this couple from Alexandria, Virginia were such a sweet couple. I so enjoyed every minute of our time together and I promised them I would try to sneak peek a couple images from their session over this weekend. I love this first one…she lookes so beautiful in green, don’t you think? The second portrait is one of my favorite poses. I love the strength of the expectant dad’s hands on mom’s beautiful bump!
As always, our clients appreciate your blog love. So thanks for leaving some comments for this expecting couple in the grey box below…

This adorable couple from Springfield, Virginia were in the studio yesterday for their pregnancy portraits. They are at 36 weeks and counting down the days. I really loved the mother & child necklace that the expectant mom wore for her portraits. Come to find out, it was a gift from her hubby…how sweet is that?
