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!
Dawn – Dear W family ~ Your little Sonnenschein is beautiful. I know she lights up your life on a daily basis! ♥ ♥
Angela Griffith – OH my she is a little doll! Love those gorgeous brown eyes and long lashes!!
margherita warhurst – Dawn, Gorgeous shot!! You always get the best shots and bring out the best!! She is our sonnenschein… Cant wait to see the rest!! Thanks again.. I know “G” always makes you work so much!! I hope you had a nice nap after we left!! HUGS
Grandma C. – What a special little granddaughter. Dawn, you make her pictures look like something out of magazines. Of course being so cute and photogenic helps too. Love you princess (you could be one you know!)–Grandma C.
Tara – Such a pretty little girl! Great job Dawn! Way to capture the light in her eyes!
Iva Tipton – Beautiful baby…beautiful picture!
Jasmine – Her little eyes and her smile is just precious! I hope to someday feel the love that you feel for your daughter.
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?

Brandy – Absolutely precious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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…

Brandy – Just precious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful little girl!!
Beth Speakes – Too precious!! Sleeping babies are simply the sweetest!!
Margherita Warhurst – So cute!! I just love that.. She looks like a little 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}”™.
