This sweet, sweet couple from Fairfax, Virginia were in the studio this week for their pregnancy portrait art session and boy did we have fun! They love black and white photography so the first one is totally for them. But I love the rich warmth of the second image as it captures the beautiful connection and love between them.
Be sure to leave some blog love for this expecting couple…their little girlie will be here soon and I can’t wait to meet her!
Dawn – Kimberly & Michael ~ I so very much enjoyed our session this week. Can’t wait for you to see the rest of your portrait art! ♥ ♥
Angela Griffith – Wow beautiful images! But the second one is gorgeous!!!!
Oh my goodness, I have not had this much fun with one of my little subjects in quite a while. This little lad was the sweetest and most delightful little guy! His smile just lit up the studio. Here’s one of my favs…bet you can see why he was so much fun by the little sparkle in his eyes.
Feel free to leave comments for this little guy and his family!

This adorable couple from Springfield, Virginia were in the studio yesterday for their pregnancy portraits. They are at 36 weeks and counting down the days. I really loved the mother & child necklace that the expectant mom wore for her portraits. Come to find out, it was a gift from her hubby…how sweet is that?
Please leave some blog love in the grey comment box below for this young, expecting couple.
I just LOVE this purple wrap on her with her hair color! FABULOUS!!

This sweet family from Sterling, Virginia returned two weeks sooner than what they had planned…that’s because their sweet baby girl decided she was coming earlier than her doctors predicted! ;-) Her parents warned me that she was fiesty and she sure was but we still got some awesome images. So, here are just a couple sneak peeks for her adoring family, big sister and friends.
Be sure to leave some blog love for this sweet family and their newborn baby girl!

Beth – What a precious sleeping baby! So peaceful! Love the chubby little cheek on his hand! Great black and white shot!!
This darling young lady from Warrenton, Virginia came in yesterday for her maternity portaits and we had the best time! Her baby boy was due on Tuesday so we are so glad he waited and allowed us the time to get his first portraits just prior to his arrival.
The portrait image below is especially touching, I think. The small photo next to her is of the expectant daddy when he was a baby…how sweet is that?
I just love this image below! Isn’t she just gorgeous? Can I just say that she’s just as beautiful, if not more beautiful on the inside! We had such a fun time together!
Now, I normally prefer color images but the black and white photography version is just as captivating on this mom-to-be!! Either version would be an awesome “your bump as art” ™ wall portrait.
And isn’t this cute??
And, just one more sneak peek because I cannot help myself! I just love this pose too. I decided to add some artful touches along with our Fine Art finish and I love the resulting image.

Angela Griffith – OH What a wonderful display for any home or office!!! Your clients are going to want these I know!! I want one too!! Will you come and photograph me and my kids?
How blessed I am to work with such precious little infants so fresh from God Himself! At just 11 days old, this precious little girl came to the studio from Bealeton, Virginia, to have her newborn photos taken. She was a pure joy to work with and I was reminded of just how “uniquely and wonderfully made” we truly are. So here are just a couple sneak peeks of my very favorite images from her recent newborn portrait session.
Be sure to leave a comment at the end of this post for the brand new mom & dad! They are soooo proud ~ they should be!

Dawn did a terrific job!!!!
Angela Griffith – Oh Oh my goodness! What a gorgeous baby! Look at that hair! She is a doll!! These shots are FABULOUS! As always Dawn! Mom is going to LOVE THESE!!!!!
This week I had the pleasure of meeting the two beautiful children featured below from Manassas, Virginia. Mom brought young Master “E” in for a very special portrait session. You see, their family has a wonderful tradition going back 100 years! The tradition is that every boy in the family has his portrait taken at the age of 7 years. I felt so privileged to be the photographer helping to carry on this wonderful family tradition. What an honor!
Mom also brought along a beautiful clock that has been passed down in their family for generations. It was purchased by the little boy’s great-great-grandpa for his wife. Then it passed to his son, the boy’s great-grandpa…who, at age 7, is pictured in the framed portrait beside the clock! Since then it has been passed down two more times and now resides at the little boy’s home, waiting to grace the home of the next generation. What an incredible heirloom this clock and these portraits are!
So, here is a sneak peek for Mom, Dad and their family of one of my favorite images, done in both color and converted to black & white.
When I was done with the young gent, it was time to spend some time with his little sister. Miss “A” was all energy and loads of fun! She looked absolutely precious in her old fashioned gown. I could not help myself in converting this portrait from it’s full color version to a ”vintage” version, making it a perfect “your child as art”™ portrait. Look at her little rosey cheeks!
Be sure to leave your comments for the parents of these two precious children!

Dawn – It was such a pleasure to work with your two precious children! Looking forward to seeing you in a couple weeks to show you the rest of the gorgeous images!
Dawn
Beth – I just love these two shots! I think you did a fantastic job in capturing them. The kids look so precious. I know them in person and they are just as wonderful in real life as in the photos you took of them.
The tradition that this family has of taking photos of each generation of boys at the age of 7 is so neat! I would love to have that kind of tradition in our family!
Thanks for sharing the photos with us!!
Beth
Angela – Gorgeous pictures! I love the whole setup with the young boy!! And what a wonderful tradition! This is the look I love! These type of portraits are Heirlooms!
The little girl, oh my what a doll baby! Gorgeous! I love the dress and it works so well with the backdrop! It is absolutely perfect!
I would describe your photos as PRICELESS!
What an adorable little guy baby “J” was to work with! His mom brought him in for his 6 month old baby photos from Chantilly, Virginia. He was a complete joy to work with! The poor little guy was all tuckered out by the end of his photo session and he fell asleep on us….awwwww, how precious!
The portrait below would be awesome framed and hung in the nursery ~ “your baby as art” ™
In fact, we loved it so much… we had one framed and hung it in the studio!
