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.
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”!!
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!
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!
A lovely mom from Alexandria Virginia brought her adorable baby girl in this week to celebrate her first birthday with some “baby’s 1st birthday portraits.” Before we got into the “smash the birthday cake” shots we caught just a few images of her in her girlie finerie. Precious little lips, rosey cheeks and beautiful eyes – she is picture perfect! But Oh Baby – she really enjoyed the second part when she got to eat the icing on the cake!
I remember when my daughter was this age and now she is getting ready to turn ten! Time flies so quickly…what better way to remember this milestone than with a few portraits like this?
This family from Vienna Virginia has a new baby in the family this Christmas!! They visited the portrait studio for our photo Christmas card event. We got some adorable images to use in designing a chic and creative custom holiday cards. The portrait below of this sweet baby girl (love her two little toofers!) and her big brother is just so darned cute! Big brother has the most amazing colored eyes! We can’t sneak peek the whole family portrait as we don’t want to ruin the surprise for their friends and family.
So, here’s a sneak peek for your friends and family of your portraits. They’ll have to wait ’til Christmas to see the others…
Santa made an early visit to the Washington DC area this year. He stopped by the studio for some fun and creative baby Christmas portraits. Little baby “G” wasn’t exactly sure what to think. Even when she mustered up enough nerve to reach for her “first bell of Christmas” she never took her eyes off of Santa.
I remember when we celebrated my baby’s first Christmas (11 years ago)…. Oh the innocence and wonder………. Wow, time passes so quickly. So mom & dad, hope this image helps you preserve the memory of your baby’s Christmas for many years to come and always….
This little Christmas doll baby from Alexandria, Virginia fell asleep waiting for Santa. Mom & dad & baby attended our Photo Christmas Card & Holiday Portrait event two weekends ago. We got a wonderful family portrait just before little Miss “A” decided it was time for a nap! As a professional baby photographer, I have learned to go with the flow and I am so glad we did.
Since mom and dad want their family portrait to be a surprise for all their friends and family on their Christmas card list, here is just a little sneak peek of their sleeping angel…
This 4 month old baby boy had the best time checking out the lights and every prop in the studio! He was very, very alert and inquisitive for his age. The top image is one of my personal favs as it totally shows off his incredible eyes! His Momma & Grandma brought him all the way from the Woodbridge, Virginia area so all though it was a good drive for them, I know capturing this time in their little man’s life will be totally worth it.
Oh… be sure you use the grey box below to leave this cutie patootie some blog love! His family is sure to appreciate your comments.
This very active, almost one year old baby girl visited the studio last week and boy did she keep me and her momma on our toes! She ended up wearing her own self out and after a little bit of cuddling, she fell asleep. Now, I normally do not get a chance to “play” with a baby this old who is sleeping but when the opportunity arose, I jumped on it. I just adore this image below…totally! She didn’t stay this way very long but just long enough to capture some precious moments for her mom.
Mom wants a Gina Alexander ”my everything” photo bag. This “your baby as {art}”™ image would be beautiful for one of these luxurious, upscale bags. Many styles of unique one-of -a-kind photo handbags are available in the boutique section at Dandelion Wishes® Photography and make the best gifts. They are awesome to tote around all the things that mommies need to have on hand.
Be sure to leave some comments for this precious little cherub’s parents and family!
This 10 month old little sweetie was here Thursday and we had the best time! I have to tell you…this baby girl had the most beautiful, long eye lashes I have ever seen on a baby! And they encircled the yummiest chocolate brown eyes! I could tell her momma loves her to pieces and I can see why. She was a bit shy at first but after a while little Miss “G” warmed right up for us!
Here’s a sneak peek for her adoring mother and father…enjoy these images of “your baby as {art}”™.
What a fun time I had with this precious little girl and her mom yesterday! She is turning one next week and mom wanted to be sure to have portraits of this special event. Little Miss “I” was such a happy little girlie! She has the most amazing dark brown eyes as you can see in the first image. Her little lashes are just to die for!!
The adorable dress was purchased at a wonderful baby and children’s boutique right here in Warrenton! They have such a mix of wonderful things for children ~ from birth on up! If you have not visited Old Town Warrenton lately you simply must check it out.
Here is a sneak peek of Miss “I” for her adoring family…as always we love to have any and everybody leave some blog love for this precious one year old girl!
Oh baby! This little princess from Dulles, Viriginia came to the studio yesterday to have some portrait art created for her proud mommy. My goodness, Miss A had the most beautiful blue eyes! Her toothless grin and baby drool reminded me of just how fast little ones grow… weren’t mine just this age yesterday?
Be sure to leave some blog love for little Miss A’s family…I know they just adore her and you can see why!!
Goodness gracious – look at this girlie’s baby blues! This adorable 8 mos old baby girl looks sooooo pretty in pink! Her mommy was the winner of the April drawing at a chic children’s boutique here in Old Town Warrenton, Virginia. I know I have used this black and white damask a lot lately but you can see why ~ it’s an amazing and chic background for our style of portrait art.
Okay blog readers…be sure to leave some blog love in the grey comment box below! I am sure this little princess’ mommy would LOVE to hear your thoughts on her baby girl!
This little darling came back to the studio for her first birthday portraits this past week and I cannot believe how much she has changed since we created her newborn portraits!
