Newborn Photographers to Arlington Virginia ~ { Baby Christian }

We really enjoyed meeting and getting to know this Arlington, Virginia family.  Their new little baby was just a total love to work with.  At 10 days old, he was right at that perfect age to capture him in all his “newborn-ness”.  Thanks so much for choosing Dandelion Wishes® to share this most important stage in little Christian’s life!  God bless!!  

Dawn – Dear “D” Family ~ Thanks again for allowing Dandelion Wishes® to be a part of this very special time in your family’s life! Your boys are precious!! ♥ ♥

Baby Photographers to Maryland ~ { Baby Catherine }

This session was so different to our early newborn sessions.  Mary and I had so much fun “playing” with this sweet baby girlie from Bethesda Maryland.  She was full of heart-melting smiles and just an all around happy, bubbly four month old baby.   This little gal’s daddy was unable to come to the investment session so we thought he and other family members would enjoy seeing a little slideshow of mom’s favorite images!  Enjoy!!!

 

Laura Bender – This is my 2nd granddaughter. She is absolutely beautiful. Your photographs are wonderful. I just want to pick her up and squeeze her. Thanks for the slideshow.

Baby Photographers to Rockville Maryland ~ { Birthday Girl }

What a beautiful little one year old! Her mommy and daddy brought her all the way from Rockville, MD for her First Birthday portraits.  She was a bit shy but after singing nursery rhymes, in the end she warmed up for us.  She is such a petite little princess with the most delicate and dark little eye lashes that seemed to go on forever!  How envious I am! 

This is such a crazy busy time of year and I know her mother, father and family have been patiently waiting for a sneak peek of their birthday girl.  So here it is for all to enjoy…

Maternity Photographers to Washington DC ~ { Chic Windy Mama }

Like most photographers, I get an itch from time to time to try something different.  I’ve had these maternity poses in my mind for some time now & I’ve been waiting for someone willing to indulge my creative juices.  This lovely lady gave me free reign… and she totally rocked the “windy mama” pose!   On top of that, doesn’t she just “glow” in the pink maternity wrap?   

The pregnant body is such a beautiful thing to behold and be proud of.  You are carrying the gift of life – what a awesome experience you have been given as a new mom.  Many of our clients have been trying for years to become pregnant  and we are so honored when they allow us to help them celebrate their pregnancy with maternity portrait art for their home.

Creative { Newborn Photographers to Arlington Virginia }

This precious newborn baby boy and his proud mommy came all the way from Arlington, Virginia yesterday as a squeeze-in appointment… I am soooo glad we were able to accomodate them as we had such a wonderful time with this sleeply little man.  All though he arrived almost four weeks earlier than expected, this premie still weighed in at a healthy 7 lb, 8oz and 21″ long!!  I know mom was wondering what he would have weighed had he reached full term!  Yikes! 

Mom loves hats… so here are a few sneak peeks for her of her little blessing donning some of her favorites from our creative newborn hats collection here at the studio!

Don’t forget ~ parents of our newborns always love your comments…. don’t be shy!  Leave them some blog love below…

Roger – I love it when you can actually “feel” the emotional connection in the mom & baby portraits. And in the second image, the electric blue eyes are locked on the lens – these are my favorite type of infant portraits. You get the feeling that the baby is looking straight at you in the finished art work.

Dawn – Dear R family ~ what a pleasure it was to work with your little boy…he is so beautiful! Thank you for the opportunity to work with your new little blessing. ♥ ♥

Brandy Maso – So cute!!! What an adorable baby boy!!

Sara – I agree with Roger!—what a wonderful connection between mom and baby. What a precious little boy!!

Linda – Zachary and Mom are beautiful! I can’t wait to see more photos.

Creative { Baby Photographers Washington DC Area }

Santa made an early visit to the Washington DC area this year.   He stopped by the studio for some fun and creative baby Christmas portraits.  Little baby “G” wasn’t exactly sure what to think.   Even when she mustered up enough nerve to reach for her “first bell of Christmas” she never took her eyes off of Santa. 

I remember when we celebrated my baby’s first Christmas (11 years ago)…. Oh the innocence and wonder………. Wow, time passes so quickly.   So mom & dad, hope this image helps you preserve the memory of your baby’s Christmas for many years to come and always….

Baby Photographers Washington DC Area ~ { Cutie Patootie }

This 4 month old baby boy had the best time checking out the lights and every prop in the studio!  He was very, very alert and inquisitive for his age.  The top image is one of my personal favs as it totally shows off his incredible eyes!  His Momma & Grandma brought him all the way from the Woodbridge, Virginia area so all though it was a good drive for them, I know capturing this time in their little man’s life will be totally worth it.   

Oh… be sure you use the grey box below to leave this cutie patootie some blog love!   His family is sure to appreciate your comments.

Pregnancy Portraits Washington DC Metro Area ~ { Bittersweet }

A moment captured in time…a tender moment…a brief moment…a bittersweet memory that will last in this couple’s hearts forever.  Shortly after the creation of this image, their sweet baby boy slipped from this world into the arms of Jesus.  For reasons his sweet parents will never understand, he was called home. 

Their loss touched all of us here at the studio deeply and we continue to pray for them.   So, at the request of his parents, I share this in memory of little Micah Aiden.  You can tell he was loved so very deeply…

Dawn – I absolutely LOVE this portrait of the two of you together…it captured the love you both feel for each other and for little Micah. God bless, Dawn ♥ ♥

La’Nae – Beautiful photo Shop. You, Mike and my precious nephew Micah are always in my prayers. Love you all so much. As always Dawn, your work is gorgeous. I’m so happy that they were able to capture this moment. May God continue to Bless and keep you all.

Beth – This brings tears to my eyes. What a wonderful and touching shot. I am praying for this couple over the loss of their precious Mikah.

Angela Griffith – I love the emotion in this image! Stunning

Courtney – What a gorgeous portrait! My heart goes out to them and sweet baby Micah.

Creative Baby Photographer Washington DC Metro Area ~ { Sugar-n-Spice }

This very active, almost one year old baby girl visited the studio last week and boy did she keep me and her momma on our toes!  She ended up wearing her own self out and after a little bit of cuddling, she fell asleep.  Now, I normally do not get a chance to “play” with a baby this old who is sleeping but when the opportunity arose, I jumped on it.  I just adore this image below…totally!  She didn’t stay this way very long but just long enough to capture some precious moments for her mom. 

Mom wants a Gina Alexander ”my everything” photo bag.  This “your baby as {art}”™ image would be beautiful for one of these luxurious, upscale bags.  Many styles of unique one-of -a-kind photo handbags are  available in the boutique section at Dandelion Wishes® Photography and make the best gifts.  They are awesome to tote around all the things that mommies need to have on hand.  

Be sure to leave some comments for this precious little cherub’s parents and family!
