This Alexandria, Virginia Mom and Dad brought their sweet little love this week for her newborn session. She surprised them by coming two weeks early! At just under 6 pounds, she was such a delicate little creature. Her hair was so soft and her itty bitty baby toes were precious to behold. Loved every moment with her!
Dawn – Dear Robin & Edward – You have every reason to be completely captivated by your precious little love…I know we were! ♥ ♥
sara – Absolutely precious!! Love all that dark hair 
angela griffith – She is a precious little one! What beautiful feautures she has!!
Debra Avent – Robin and Edward is she real?…I mean she looks like a doll, she is just perfect, I mean just perfect!
Rita and Brian – Robin and Edward,
Baby Jalynn is absolutely adorable. You have captured a precious moment to cherish for a lifetime. I love all 3 of you. She is so young to be practicing yoga – Is she meditating yet? Hope to see you soon.
Mandi Nikole – Precious!!
This is handsome little Chase Houston. Love his name. Lately, we have had some of the most unique and classy boys’ names and this one is no exception! Bet you can’t guess that Dad enjoys the sport of hunting…the camo gives it away, right?

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!!
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!
Vivika Brasil – How cute. My favorite is the one of the baby girl sleeping.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
