Remember Miss Bright Eyes? Well, she came back earlier this week and we are so glad she did! She was comfy cozy all tucked in her basket below and remained in sweet slumber throughout most of our repeat newborn session. Check out how cute she is donning one of our newest newborn baby hats!

If you’re pregnant and live close to the greater Washington D.C. metro area we’d love to help you capture this special time in the life of your newborn with artistic wall art portraits. Imagine… ”your baby as {art}”

This absolutely beautiful baby girlie was with us yesterday for her newborn session – however, she decided that she did NOT want to miss out on anything. So, she pretty much stayed wide awake for almost the entire session! I had to admit defeat and give her credit for outlasting me. As many of you know, I normally prevail in these situations but on this occasion – not so much!
So, her loving mommy is going drive back from Alexandria, Virginia again next week so we can create those dreamy, sleepy baby portraits that we all adore. In the mean time, the portrait below is the perfect representation of Miss J’s whole visit with us – big beautiful bright eyes and all! And look at her yummy baby cheeks…


This sweet baby boy from the Leesburg Virginia area surprised his mother and father by arriving a bit ahead of schedule. He was so precious and had the softest little head of curls and plump little lips to match ~ perfection! Check out his little sleepy grin – doesn’t that just warm your heart?
Hope his doting family enjoys their sneak peek. Hope your little blessing is letting you get some night time zzzzzzz’s! 

This little one’s Mom & Dad decided to not find out if they were having a boy or a girl until delivery day. Secretly, I was hoping for a little girl simply because we have had a ton of baby boys at the studio since January. And so, when mom said she had a little princess, we were very excited to use a few new “girlie” items that we have picked up over the last few months.
Thank you “V” family for driving all the way from Stafford, Virginia to allow us the honor of capturing this most precious time in your newborn baby girl’s life. I hope you and your family enjoy this little sneak peek of your princess!



Look at these precious newborn twins from Warrenton Virginia! At two months old, I was concerned that we would not be able to get that “newborn” look that mom really wanted but with persistance and a good pinch of patience, we were able to achieve the “miracle shot” we were looking for!
What a pleasure this little brother & sister where to work with…their mommy, daddy and grandparents are truly “double” blessed. Mom and dad ordered a beautiful gallery wrapped canvas of the second portrait of the twins. We all can’t wait to see it when it arrives…it is going to be amazing in person!



I had the pleasure of meeting the sweetest new mom and dad from Culpeper Virginia last week. This is their first baby and you could just feel the pride emanating from them both!
For me personally, I fell head-over-heels in love with this 12-day old little man’s hair. It was sooo soft and just made you want to continually ”pet” him – not to mention cuddle him!
Just look at this precious face with a glorious topping of the softest hair…



This week we had the sweetest couple from Ashburn Virginia come to the studio for a newborn baby session. Their new “Little Drummer Boy” was delightful to work with. Dad is a RUSH fan and as such, he brought along his snare drum for me to use as a special prop. I love it when clients share their ideas. The image below is the result and I think we’d all agree that this is the cutest little RUSH fan ever!

Just before the snow began to fall last week, this sweet couple and their newborn baby son came from Ashburn Virgina for a newborn portrait art session. What a sweet baby he is! He slept nearly the entire time with only a little squeak now and again. Oh, and his HAIR! Love, love, love his hair!! I had a really hard time keeping my hands off of his soft curls!
Dad is a marine who was home for the birth of his son and must return to the west coast next week so I know he will enjoy seeing this sneak peek of his brand new baby boy!



This little guy from the Rockville Maryland area was in last week and was Mr. Smiley for all of about 40 minutes at which time he decided the session was over – lol! He just was not in the mood so mom and grandma brought him back this past week. This time, he was totally “on”. His other grandma calls him “Dude” and says he smiles when she does, so you know I had to try it and believe it or not, it did get his attention! Too cute!
So, here is a sneak peek from little “Dude’s” second visit…he did great mom and dad!

On Wednesday we made new friends with an entire family from Olney Maryland…and their new little man got to have a teddy bear party and meet some new fuzzy friends himself! At 10 weeks old we knew we’d get some awesome expressions! Just look at that little grin and those bright baby blue eyes!
I know his adoring family have been waiting patiently for his sneak peek so lets leave them some blog love in the comment box below!


Love this image from a newborn session last week and could not resist putting a bit of an artistic spin on it. This little man let us do anything with him…once he was in a deep sleep! Doesn’t he have the cutest itty bitty baby bottom?


This newborns mom and dad from Bristow Virginia are New York Giants fans and they brought the cutest little hat and souvenier football so that we could create a fun portrait art piece of their lil’ fan! Isn’t he the cutest little NY Giants fan you have ever seen? What a sport he was…looks like he is contemplating the next play action!


I normally share two sneak peeks and since I only had time last week for one of these precious newborn twins, I wanted to share another one for their mother, father and extended family! There are so many cute ones it was hard to pick but this one has to be one of the cutest!


Oh my goodness, these precious newborn twins from Vienna, Virginia just melted my heart! Their mom and dad are blessed indeed. I was **told** that Miss S was a bit more fiesty than her brother but they both were totally awesome throughout their entire portrait session. Mom, Dad and family have been patiently waiting for a sneak peek of this little pair since early in the week….so here they are!


This sweet family from South Riding, Virginia received their Christmas present about a week early – their newborn baby boy! How joyful for them! They were here just a couple days before Christmas for their newborn portrait session and this little man was such a sleepy little one to start out with…what a joy he was to play with! We created some awesome “your baby as {art}”™ portraits of this little one that I cannot wait to show to his proud parents. Below are two of my personal favorites.
Be sure to leave some comments for this newborn baby’s adoring mother and father below!
