Newborn Baby Photographer near Gainesville Virginia ~ { Super Cute! }

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!

sara – Couldn’t be happier with these beautiful images! Thank you, Dawn, for working your magic again! XO

Newborn Photographer near Springfield Virginia ~ { Daddy’s Boy }

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. Artistic newborn photography near Springfield Virginia 22150, 22151, 22152, 22153, 22156, 22158, 22159, 22160 & 22161

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!!

Baby Photographer near Dulles Virginia ~ { Baby Charley }

A few weeks back, this little sweetie came for one of our baby sessions and if you recall, we had loads of fun!  Now that her mommy & daddy have been back for the reveal, we can share more of the adorable expressions we captured…I bet she makes you smile just as much as she did me!  Plus, I know her aunties, uncles and grandparents are dying to see them all too…enjoy!

Dawn – Dear “D” family ~ your first baby girl was beautiful and Charley is every bit as gorgeous as her big sister. What a joy she was to “play” with! We had a big time, didn’t we?? ♥ ♥

Tracy – I have the cutest kids. :) Thank you for capturing that!

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!! ♥ ♥

Newborn Photographers to Reston, Virginia ~ { Basket Baby }

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!

At three weeks new, this precious little girl was a bit older than our normal newborn but she was the perfect little baby - she slept nearly the entire time!  Her proud mother from Alexandria Virginia, along with grandmother and grandfather accompanied her and it was such fun seeing just how much this little miracle was loved.

As promised, here is a sneak peek of your precious angel’s newborn portrait art.

Newborn Baby Photographers to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Wide Awake }

This absolutely beautiful baby girlie was with us yesterday for her newborn session – however, she decided that she did NOT want to miss out on anything.  So, she pretty much stayed wide awake for almost the entire session!  I had to admit defeat and give her credit for outlasting me.  As many of you know, I normally prevail in these situations but on this occasion – not so much! 

So, her loving mommy is going drive back from Alexandria, Virginia again next week so we can create those dreamy, sleepy baby portraits that we all adore.  In the mean time, the portrait below is the perfect representation of Miss J’s whole visit with us – big beautiful bright eyes and all!  And look at her yummy baby cheeks…

Pregnancy Photographers Washington DC Metro Area ~ { Arriving Soon }

This expectant couple from the Washington DC area are expecting their first child!  How exciting!  At 37 weeks, this mom-to-be is really in the nesting mode!

She wanted to capture this time with modest yet artfully expressive images of her pregnancy.  In addition, we also set up a fun shot – see below – and darned if she wasn’t such a tiny thing that I had to ask her to “push” her bump up a bit so we could tell she was preggo!  That is so not fair! 

I hope she and her dear hubby enjoy their sneak peeks below.

Newborn Photographers in Warrenton Virginia ~ { Womb-Mates }

Look at these precious newborn twins from Warrenton Virginia!  At two months old, I was concerned that we would not be able to get that “newborn” look that mom really wanted but with persistance and a good pinch of patience, we were able to achieve the “miracle shot” we were looking for! 

What a pleasure this little brother & sister where to work with…their mommy, daddy and grandparents are truly “double” blessed.  Mom and dad ordered a beautiful gallery wrapped canvas of the second portrait of the twins.  We all can’t wait to see it when it arrives…it is going to be amazing in person!

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…

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!
