Baby Photographer near Dulles Virginia ~ { Baby Charley }

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!

Dawn – Dear “D” family ~ your first baby girl was beautiful and Charley is every bit as gorgeous as her big sister. What a joy she was to “play” with! We had a big time, didn’t we?? ♥ ♥

Tracy – I have the cutest kids. :) Thank you for capturing that!

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! 

Dawn – Dear W family ~ It is so evident how loved little Charlotte is! I hope these images will forever remind you of how blessed you are. Cherish this time! ♥ ♥

Mary Tayne – Dear Stacy – it was so wonderful to see you again. Miss “C” has grown so much. Her little personality is shining in these images. Your are truly blessed with a beautiful little girl. Please keep in touch. Mary

Beth – What a gorgeous girl!! She looks like she was a joy to photograph! The shots are wonderful!

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!

Dawn – Dear D Family ~ You are blessed with two beautiful little princesses! Miss C was a ton of fun and we loved every minute of her visit! ♥ ♥

Beth – Wow! Those shots turned out beautiful!! I know mom must be LOVING the second one, because she said she wanted it just like the one on your website. Just a gorgeous baby!!

Tracy – As always, AMAZING! We had such a fun time. Can’t wait to see the rest!

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

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!

Beth – Wow! What a beautiful shot and gorgeous baby girl!

Baby Photographers to Maryland ~ { Baby Catherine }

This session was so different to our early newborn sessions.  Mary and I had so much fun “playing” with this sweet baby girlie from Bethesda Maryland.  She was full of heart-melting smiles and just an all around happy, bubbly four month old baby.   This little gal’s daddy was unable to come to the investment session so we thought he and other family members would enjoy seeing a little slideshow of mom’s favorite images!  Enjoy!!!

 

Laura Bender – This is my 2nd granddaughter. She is absolutely beautiful. Your photographs are wonderful. I just want to pick her up and squeeze her. Thanks for the slideshow.

Baby Photographers to Bethesda Maryland ~ { Delightful }

We had the absolute pleasure of this delightful baby girl’s company last week!  Her mom made the drive all the way  from Bethesda, Maryland to have her daughter’s first official portrait art session.  What a honor for me! 

Truth be told, it was so hard to put the camera down with all the adorable smiles this little princess was sharing.   All that smiling must have worn her out so when she fell asleep, we took advantage of it and created a few more “newborn-like” poses.   We enjoyed every moment with this delightful little sweetie.  I know mom and dad are waiting for this sneak peek so without further ado, here is your precious little girl…

Baby Photographers to Quantico Virginia ~ { Baby’s First Birthday }

This adorable little one was here last week for her Baby’s First Birthday session.   It seems like it was just a few months ago that we did her newborn portraits ~ and yet, nearly a whole year has past since then!  She has blossomed into such a beautiful and happy little girl!  It was pure joy for us to have her back to visit all the way from Quantico, Virginia.   Her mom found her the cutest little chiffon romper and matching head band to wear for her session.  It was just gorgeous to look at and so comfy to touch. 

I so totally enjoy this sweet family and it is so obvious how much they love their little princess!  Enjoy your sneak peek of Miss K!

Baby Photographers to Falls Church Virginia ~ { Cutie Pie }

What a cutie pie this baby girl was!  She was a bit shy, as many babies are at this age, but we did coax a few sweet smiles from her!  She reminded me of a beautiful porcelain doll with her precious pink lips and chubby cheeks.  I love babies this age.  Her grandmother accompanied her to the session and it was very apparent just how much she adored her little granddaughter ~ so sweet!

So, here is a sneak peek for all her loving friends and family from the Falls Church, Virginia area and beyond!  Enjoy!

Baby Photographer to Culpeper Virginia ~ { Happy Baby }

What a fun session this was!  This baby girl and her momma came from just north of Culpeper, Virginia which is such a beautiful area to live in.  We were so excited to meet this newest member of the “K” family.  They have a wonderful tradition of having portraits created at the nine month age time frame for each of their children, and it is SUCH a fun age, indeed!   She was such a happy baby girl…just like mom said she would be. 

This princess has beautiful blue eyes and the chubbiest cheekers that you have ever seen…love, love, love!  I know her family and friends are excited to see their sneak peek so enjoy your happy little princess.

Baby Photographers to Herndon Virginia ~ { Mr. Fun }

It’s so hard for me to believe that this little guy was a newborn baby the last time he was here!  Back then he was small enough to fit perfectly on the top of our football but just look at him now!  He has blossomed into a darling little boy with the most gorgeous eyes and the best brows ever… I admit, I had brow envy upon his arrival – lol.

We had such a fun time…I am so glad this Herndon, Virginia  family brought little “A” back for his First Birthday session…what a blessing it is to be able to watch my little babies grow into precious little people! 

Enjoy your sneak peek mom and dad!  Give Mr. “A” a great big hug from me!

Baby Photographers to Rockville Maryland ~ { Birthday Girl }

What a beautiful little one year old! Her mommy and daddy brought her all the way from Rockville, MD for her First Birthday portraits.  She was a bit shy but after singing nursery rhymes, in the end she warmed up for us.  She is such a petite little princess with the most delicate and dark little eye lashes that seemed to go on forever!  How envious I am! 

This is such a crazy busy time of year and I know her mother, father and family have been patiently waiting for a sneak peek of their birthday girl.  So here it is for all to enjoy…

Baby Photographers to Woodbridge Virginia ~ { Little Sailor’s 1st Birthday }

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.
