This sweet little lad was a total gem…with the softest tufts of hair that I could not resist stroking constantly. He was simply amazing!

Beth – What a cutie!! The shots are amazing!
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.
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 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!!!
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!!

Dawn – Dear D Family ~ Thank you for your patience! I hope you enjoy the breath-taking beauty of your newest little one. He is scrumptuous! ♥ ♥
We very much enjoyed meeting this little newborn whos family lives in Reston Virginia. Both Mary and I oooo’d and awwwww’d over her gorgeous little head of hair! It was sooo hard to keep from “petting” her head constantly, lol.
All though she enjoyed being awake more than she was asleep, we still managed to coax her to into some slumber for a little bit. I sure hope she does this a bit more for her sweet mommy, who all we moms know, needs a bit more sleep than what she is currently getting. Sleep tight sweet Baby N!
Be sure to leave comments for these proud new parents below!!!

Dawn – Dear J Family ~ You know we enjoyed every moment with your precious little girl! Enjoy your sneak peek!! ♥ ♥
Angela Griffith – What a gorgeous baby! Love these but the second shot stunning!
Well, even the threat of wintery weather did not keep this new mommy and daddy from bringing their precious newborn baby girl all the way from Falls Church, Virginia this past Wednesday! When they left the studio, the snow had already started.
Now, on to the sneak peek…what a beautiful baby girl their little princess is! I loved all her itty bitty baby wrinkles and her rosey cheeks and her delicate little lips and nose. She was just all-over-yummy-baby-perfection. Her eye lids and lashes were utterly perfect! That soft lavender color you see on her lids is completely natural ~ lovely, indeed. Either one of these images would make an incredible gallery wrap canvas!
I know this little princess has a doting grandma visiting from out of town ~ so for her and all other proud family members, here’s my two favorite portraits of your newborn angel…

Dawn – Dear “G” Family ~ What a joy it was for Mary and I to work with your little angel. She was a delight and she had a wonderful session. We are going to have some awesome portrait art for you! Give her a kiss for us! ♥ ♥
Beth – What a beautiful baby and wonderful shots of her!!!
Mary T. – It was just so wonderful to see how much this precious little girl’s parents love her. A true pleasure to meet this family and an honor to spend time with their little angel.
Say hello to our latest newborn baby from Reston, Virginia… she surprised her mother and father by arriving two weeks early! Little Miss “Z” was such a sweetie and was really a joy to pose.
As many of you already know, I love baskets to pose our little newborns in and this is one of my favorties. Look how tiny this little angel looks while nestled all snug in her baby basket. In between set changes, she just continued to sleep all cuddled down in the basket…I hated to move her!
To all her doting family, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek of your baby girlie! You are blessed!
