Dandelion Wishes® ~ Newborn Photography
Dawn – Dave & Erika ~ Thank you for choosing Dandelion Wishes@ to capture this beautiful moment in Nolan’s life! We loved every moment of it!! ♥ ♥
Mary Tayne – Erika & Dave, It was such a pleasure to meet you & your adorable little girl too! You are truly blessed with a beautiful family.
It truly was pure joy to work with this gorgeous newborn baby boy! He nearly slept through his entire session which gave ample opportunity to capture so many beautiful, artistic newborn images. This first time mom and dad drove all the way from Accokeek, Maryland which is all the way over in Prince Georges County. And, we could not have been more delighted and honored to have them come.
Please be sure to leave some baby love for the happy new parents!
This newborn baby’s family is from right down the road in Gainesville, Virginia so it was a short little ride to the studio for his newborn session. He slept through the first whole hour and hardly made a sound except for these precious little peeps and sweet little baby whimpers. Such a precious baby boy!
So, the second half of the session was a bit different to the first! Baby was happily awake and giving us some of the cutest expressions. Check out this little “happy baby” look! Super cute, right? You betcha!

Beth – What a real cutie pie!! The one of him awake is just wonderful! Congrats to the new parents.
sara – Couldn’t be happier with these beautiful images! Thank you, Dawn, for working your magic again! XO
Mary Tayne – Sara, it was wonderful to see you again and to meet your dh, and of course the new little man in your life! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and joyous New Year.
This little bundle of baby sweetness was a last minute squeeze-in and at 26 days old, she was much more alert that most of our little newborn babies. But oh how sweet she was! Just look at her precious expression in the first picture! Doesn’t it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?? It does me! I know her proud new mother and father are anxiously awaiting this sneak peek so lets not make them wait one minute more!
Here is your beautiful little Sasha in all her yummy newborn sweetness!

Dawn – Dear Gita & Naga ~ Sasha is simply beautiful! I am so glad we were able to get you a squeeze-in session. It was such a pleasure to work with your little Sasha! ♥ ♥
Beth – It was so much fun being able to hold this little cutie and see all the beautiful shots being taken of her. Congratulations to you, Gita and Naga!! She is beautiful!!
Saravana – Dear Brother & Gita,
What a lovely pictures of Sasha! Really the photos are amazing!! Best wishes to both of you and sweet kisses to Sasha!
Suchi – awww!!! so cute.
mommy to be – This is adorable!!
I was thinking about title to this post and really wanted to put “spitting image” but without a photo of this little one’s daddy, it would be moot. But, seriously though…in the entire time I have been specializing in newborn photography, I have never seen a brand new baby be such a striking likeness to his daddy! I wish I could show you in this post but you’ll have to settle for the cuter of the two…Baby Nolan. (And, boy do I love his name too!)
Dad’s a huge NY Mets fan so he brought along his mitt and even a David Wright jersey. We used the jersey in a separate portrait but I decided to share this one because I love the colors and I know mom said it would go so well in baby’s nursery.
This portrait below was created using a very special blanket hand made by little Nolan’s great aunt in memory of his Great Grandfather who loved trains. We hung this heirloom-to-be blanket up as a background so all it’s handiwork could be appreciated. What a treasure this will become for this little one.

Dawn – Dear P Family ~ You two have been blessed with yet another beautiful baby. Enjoy every moment of his cuteness cause he’s got a lot of it to go around! ♥ ♥
Mary Tayne – Dear “P” family – I am so sorry that I missed your little one’s session. What an absolutely handsome little boy you have. And I especially like the homage to dad’s favorite MLB team! Dad, may you have many, many years of enjoyment playing catch with your little man. Mary Tayne
Beth – Helping with this baby was so much fun!! He is such a precious, good little guy and gave us no problems! These turned out wonderful, Dawn!!
Time for a slide show! This brand new mom and dad are from Alexandria, VA but they have family across the United States, as well as abroad, who are anxiously waiting to see this precious little girl.
Baby Tèa’s grandmother will recognize two very special keepsakes in the last portrait. Both the old teddy bear and the “cherry tree” blanket were her own daughter’s childhood lovies. It was our privilege to incorporate them into one of baby Tèa’s portraits…all though I don’t think she noticed as she sleep right through it all tucked down in her basket! What a sweetie! Enjoy!

This precious little princess had the perfect balance of “sleepy time” and “wakey time”. She must have known how much we wanted a portrait of her big, beautiful, deep blue eyes as she gave us a good 15 minutes of awake time right after a feeding. In looking at her dad, it was clear that she has her daddy’s eyes! She was a bit older than most of our newbies but even on her 18th day of life, she was still such a petite little bundle. It is was totally evident just how smitten her parents are with her…and why wouldn’t they be??
Mary and I really enjoyed the hours we spent with this little blessing and as always, I am so honored that her mother and father chose Dandelion Wishes® to capture this precious time in her life! We truly appreciate all our clients that travel from Alexandria, Virginia for our newborn sessions – and there has been a LOT recently…must be something in the water there!!
This couple have many family members living in other parts of the world so we thought they’d like to see a little slideshow of their precious new family member! Had to add some of mom’s maternity session in as well! Enjoy!

Angela Griffith – What a beautiful baby boy!! Love the variety of poses! I would have to buy them all if I were Mom and Dad!!!
We really enjoyed meeting and getting to know this Arlington, Virginia family. Their new little baby was just a total love to work with. At 10 days old, he was right at that perfect age to capture him in all his “newborn-ness”. Thanks so much for choosing Dandelion Wishes® to share this most important stage in little Christian’s life! God bless!!

Dawn – Dear “D” Family ~ Thanks again for allowing Dandelion Wishes® to be a part of this very special time in your family’s life! Your boys are precious!! ♥ ♥
Oh my! Just look at this little lion in all his cuteness! What a sleepy little fellow he was too. We had so much fun “playing” with him and his furry friends in this basket. He slept for nearly the entire session which gave us loads of time to capture all the precious details of this newborn stage. Mom and dad are going to be so excited to see them all!
Be sure to “leave some love” for these proud first time parents from Leesburg VA.

Dawn – Dear “P” family ~ How awesome is your little guy all snuggled up with his nursery friends? He just melts my heart!! ♥ ♥
Mary T. – A whole bunch of “cuteness” !!!
Newborn Photographer Arizona – This is absolutely adorable!
We did a sneak peek for this newborn princess from Sterling Virginia a couple weeks ago and now that her mommy and daddy have selected their favorites, it’s time for a little slideshow!! I know how much this baby girlie is loved so I know that her grandparents, aunties and uncles will really enjoy it!

Dawn – Dear Tommy & Heather ~ She is just amazing isn’t she? Such a beautiful and delicate little being…you are blessed! ♥ ♥
Ramona – Dear Heather & Tommy ~ the portraits of you and Caelee capture the true essence of the love and awe you have for your perfect, beautiful baby girl. And when we look at our precious granddaughter in these creatively beautiful portraits, it takes our breath away and brings tears to our eyes. Dawn, again, you have captured the beauty, love and innocense of our family. Love, Nonna & Poppa
Well, it seems like this little princess’s mom and dad from Sterling, Virginia where just here for their maternity session! Oh my, how time flies! Sooooo, after being fashionably late, little Miss Caelee Grace finally arrived, to the great joy of her mom and dad. She was an itty bitty little peanut at just under 6 lbs and a picture of perfection through out her session. We were able to capture a wonderful variety of newborn baby portraits because she slept nearly the entire five hours! She only made a few little peeps when she was hungry – my oh my, how blessed her new mother and father are!
***And, just a little side note, after a 15 month long run of never being peed or pooped on, it seems only fitting that Caelee “Grace” was the baby who “graced” Mary with a shirt full! Gotta love the irony of that!
Thank you to this little princess’s family, who waited so patiently for her sneak peek…I hope it was worth your wait!

Dawn – Dear “F” family ~ What a sweet, sweet peanut you have been blessed with! I hope she is continuing to be the quiet, sleepy little girlie that she was when she was here! See you soon! ♥ ♥
Heather – Dawn, these are amazing, thanks! You’ve captured her perfectly in these photos, and the hat Mary made works so well. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos, as I’m sure they’re all fantastic!
Mary T. – I may have gotten a “shirtful” — but being able to cuddle this sweet little girl made it all worth it!
Nonna & Poppa – These images brought tears to our eyes as they so succeed in conveying the essence of her beauty. We love you Caelee Grace!
angela griffith – sweet baby girl! Love the second shot! But the first one is amazing!!!!
LAURA – Precious,Beautiful.. A little sweet pea…. 
Congratulations to you Heather and Tom,amazing photos~ Much Love
I just love this little one’s name. It simply suits her precious personality to a “t”. Here’s a few of her mother’s favorites from her newborn baby session on her 13th day of life. Thank you again for allowing us to capture Melania’s newborn beauty! We so very much enjoyed our time together with you and your beautiful family.

Monica – Thank you Dawn!! I love, love, love this This is a reminder of one of the most joyful times in my life and our “mother/daughter day” at your studio enhanced that feeling
This brand new little one was such a pleasure. He hardly made a peep for being a newborn baby! I told his mom and dad multiple times how truly blessed they are! I was worried they would not be able to make the trip all the way from Arlington, Virginia last week. They were coming the morning after all that severe weather last week but fortunately, all our roads were clear of debris by morning.
This little one came into a family with a rich heritage. His parents chose his middle name to honor a patriot ancestor, named Icem Davis. I love, love, love the name Icem. So unique and then to have a name that honors his family history? Very cool, indeed.
So, for his family who has been so patiently waiting for his sneak peek…enjoy your little blessing!!
