Newborn Photographers, Ashburn Virginia ~ { Chillin’ with Dad }

You may remember this Ashburn, Virginia mom and dad from their maternity session late last year – see here.  Well….their little baby boy arrived!  We were so excited to meet this little guy and he did not disappoint us.  He slept nearly the entire session.  The only time he really made a fuss was when I wanted to change his pose…he give a little squawk and then drift right back to dreamland!   

Here’s a quick sneak peek for his proud family…there is a reason they are so proud, just look at his precious little face!

Dawn - Dear “F” family ~ What a precious little man you have been blessed with…he was such an angel during his session! I hope he didn’t keep you up all night that evening! See you soon! ♥ ♥

Mary T. - Dear J & J – Although your little one did not “bless” me the way that I know Dawn was hoping and waiting (and probably praying)for him to do – I will say that spending a day with your beautiful little boy was truly special. You are a lovely family and it is my great pleasure to have met you. Mary T.

Newborn Baby Portraits, Washington DC Area ~ { Contrast }

There is something about dad and baby portraits that touch my heart in a special way.  Part of it must be the contrast between the delicate features of a fresh newborn baby and their daddy’s big strong hands.  This dad was so into his new little man – it was beautiful to watch.  Getting this football image set up takes a LOT of patience, particularly on the part of the dad and this one deserves kuddos for a job well done! 

I know this will make his wife swoon!  So, here you go girl ~ how awesome are your two men together??

Beth - Wow! That turned out wonderful!!

Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer ~ { In Daddy’s Hands }

This newborn baby’s mom & dad commissioned us to create this image for a canvas to hang on a large wall behind their baby grand piano.  Mom had noticed the artistic photography which is often featured on the top TV show Extreme Home Makeover and wanted a similar art piece of her baby boy.  We were delighted to be able to fulfill her request and we cannot wait to see the canvas when it arrives in the studio!

I love this pose – it really captures the contrast of this tiny newborn in his daddy’s strong hands.  Daddy’s are such an important part of a child’s life and I think this pose just speaks volumes, don’t you?

Baby Photographer to Ashburn Virginia ~ { Donaldinho, the next Ronaldinho? }

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!

Unique { Infant Photographers in Northern Virginia Area }

This newborn boy’s mother and father traveled from Front Royal, Virginia for their newborn portrait session.  I am sure they were plenty tired but what a beautiful time of year to drive through the Shenandoah mountains!  

This little guy wins the prize for being the most alert infant I have had this year…he did not want to miss anything.  The first image is exactly as he looked for the best part of his portrait session…he finally tuckered out and fell asleep for a mere 20 minutes ~ just long enough to create the second image of him.  Mom brought the quilted blanket from home; which her mother made for her when she was a baby.  I love heirlooms!  This is a classic ”your baby as {art}”™ portrait! 

I know mom and dad are pretty sleep deprived so lets brighten their day with some comments about their little blessing!

Future Quarterback { Newborn Photographer Northern Virginia }

Well, is this not the cutest little newborn baby boy you have ever seen??  Dad & Mom from Warrenton Virginia brought baby “D” into the studio today for his newborn portraits and they allowed me to endulge my creativity!  At just 7 days old, this little guy was just the perfect size to rest on top of a football.  Dad did such a great job of holding everything steady once Mom and I got baby situated – which took some doing!  But this image is so worth the work…it truly is “your baby as art” ™
