This sweet mom and dad-to-be came from Alexandria, Virginia this week for a “your bump as { art }”™ maternity portrait session. Mom brought a few items from home to use and I just adore the red silk shawl she brought! She said her aunt actually put all the beautiful fringe on the edges…what an elegant way to capture this special time and honor her Spanish heritage.
Please feel free to leave your comments in the grey comment box below for the excited mother and father-to-be!

This 10 month old little sweetie was here Thursday and we had the best time! I have to tell you…this baby girl had the most beautiful, long eye lashes I have ever seen on a baby! And they encircled the yummiest chocolate brown eyes! I could tell her momma loves her to pieces and I can see why. She was a bit shy at first but after a while little Miss “G” warmed right up for us!
Here’s a sneak peek for her adoring mother and father…enjoy these images of “your baby as {art}”™.
- Margherita ~ Wow! Can I just tell you how much I love these images of your little cherub?? She is just a total gem! Can't wait to show you more! ♥ ♥
- The composition and crop of the first portrait totally draws you into her eyelashes... and the second image - WOW - you got her to innocently stare straight into the lens. Both of these are AMAZING !!
- Dawn.. These pictures are just gorgeous. You did such a beautiful job. I can not believe how they turned out. I cannot wait to see the other photos. Thank you so much for your time and can't wait to come back once she can sit on her own. Thank you so much for everything!

This expecting mom & dad were here a few days ago from Alexandria, Virginia for their maternity portraits. They are such a sweet, sweet couple and I cannot wait to meet their little boy! He is destined to be a Green Bay Packers football fan if his dad has any say about it!
So, here are a couple sneak peeks of “your bump as { art }”™ and I just love them both! Hope you do too!!
- Dawn, I LOVE how all the colors of the floor, chair, drop (and of course Mom) blend to create such a classic portrait feel in the second image. EXCELLENT !!
- Jason & Zolaika ~ I really enjoyed working with the two of you both. Can't wait to meet your little man when he arrives! ♥ ♥
- Breathtaking!!! These are incredible!!!
- Wow! The second shot especially is so beautiful. I love the colors and contrasts you used in that one. What a beautiful mom to be!
I promised I’d share another fav from this Lorton, Virginia couple’s pregnancy portrait session. I love this image so much! This image would be a perfect ”your bump as { Art }” ™ wall portrait. Your little princess will be here soon!
Please leave some blog love in the comment box below for this sweet expectant mom & dad!

I have been wanting to share this image but had to keep it “under wraps” until Mom & Dad came in from Vienna Virginia for their Investment Session. They were here yesterday and I told them then that I could not wait to share this ”your baby as { Art }”™ portrait on the blog.
I adore this image and the emotional connection of it. This big brother was such a sweet, sweet boy and he was so still and gentle while I got his baby sister in place…he didn’t hardly flinch when he realized that she was tinkling on him! How awesome is that for a boy of his age?? Well done little Mr. ”B”. I am so proud of you, dear. I hope you like this portrait of you and your baby sister as much as your Mom & Dad do!
- Mr & Mrs H. ~ Can't wait to see this wall portrait in person...You have two beautiful children!
- awwww i love this!!! both are photogenic :D
- Precious!!!!!!
- How lucky can a grandma be? Such darlings. ♥
- Oh My Gosh how precious is this portrait!!! Love this one!
- How very special you are to have captured the love my great-grandson Brennan has for his new baby sister Fallon (Macci)- my great-granddaughter. I also loved your artistry on the pregnant photos of grand-daughter Gillian. Sara Hood
- Dear Ms. Hood ~ It was completely my pleasure to work with your granddaughter and her precious family. My heart is warmed by your words...thank you. ♥

- Love the first one but wow love that red you used on here as well!!! Awesome job!
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!

I finished up this precious newborn baby girls’ session in the studio today. But the artist in me just would not let me leave this image alone! I have learned to listen to that little voice and so I started creating…I love the finished portrait and just thought I’d share it with you all. It has a shabby, vintage feel to it that I just love. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
- I think you are a true artist in every way!!! This is gorgeous!!!!! Fabulous job! Thanks Angela! I am glad you like it too! xoxo D.
- I love this! It really adds to the photo without being over powering! Great job!
I have the best job in the world! I am so blessed to be able to work with these brand new little miracles straight from heaven!
This baby girl’s parents, grandparents and friends have been waiting for their second sneak peek so here’s “your baby as art” ™.
- This is so beautiful and feminine! I love the colors and flowers and of course, the baby girl is just so precious! Congratulations to the very lucky parents!
- Oh this is gorgeous! This baby is beautiful!!! Another fabulous shot Dawn!!!
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.
- Oh my goodness!!!! Where do I start! that first one is such a fabulous keepsake for her to pass down to her little one!! The second one is simply gorgeous!!! Love the brushes you did on that image! Awesome job once again Dawn! This is your thing!!!!!!!!
- Wow!! These shots are just so awesome! They are all so touching and special in their own way.
- Oh my goodness - she is gorgeous and so are the images!!! Just beautiful!
This darling mom-to-be came into the studio today from Warrenton, Virginia for some artistic maternity portraits. She was at the very end of her pregnancy ~ her baby was actually due today! I am so glad the baby waited!
When you think about it, maternity portraits are really your baby’s first photos. So, we started off doing some very artistic images. The first one would be a wonderful “your bump as art” ™ wall portrait. Gorgeous in a bedroom setting!
After getting the creative images, we ended with some fun ones!
So, here is a sneak peek for the expectant mom and dad-to-be as they celebrate the final momements of their pregnancy. Be sure to share your comments with them below….
- OH Love both of these! Stunning images Dawn! The softness and glow is perfect for this session! Fabulous job! As always!
- I had the privilege to spend some time with this new mom during her photo shoot and she was just so sweet and lovely. I love the shots you took of her and I'm thrilled to hear that she has had a new baby girl! Congratulations to the new parents!!
This little cherub from Woodbridge Virginia is just four weeks old when she came to the studio for her newborn baby photos…she simply warmed my heart with all the little faces she made!
I swear this little girl was curled up just like this in her mommy’s womb…
And look at little Miss “K” here. This is definitely a “your baby as art” ™ portrait!
Be sure to leave your blog comments (by clicking just below this entry) for the brand new mom and dad! They are very proud and they should be!
- What a precious, beautiful baby girl! Look at all the wonderful hair, too! These are all beautiful photos, Dawn. I know these parents must feel so blessed. They're probably pretty tired, too!! I remember those days! Congratulations and God bless all of you. Beth
- You really do beautiful work, Dawn. These pictures are wonderful. We love them!! Thank you!! Steve and Melody
- Oh these are gorgeous portaits Dawn! Your work is fabulous!!! What talent you have! I know the parents are going to have a hard time choosing!!!!
- Those are such beautiful portraits! WONDERFUL!
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!
- 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
- 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
- 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!
