Oh my goodness, these precious newborn twins from Vienna, Virginia just melted my heart! Their mom and dad are blessed indeed. I was **told** that Miss S was a bit more fiesty than her brother but they both were totally awesome throughout their entire portrait session. Mom, Dad and family have been patiently waiting for a sneak peek of this little pair since early in the week….so here they are!
Dawn – Dear A family ~ What a joy and privilege for me to work with your twins…they are simply beautiful. Can’t wait for you to see more of the images! ♥ ♥
Beth Speakes – Wow!! That is just precious!!
Angela Griffith – Oh how precious! This brings back fond memories of my twins!
This image is breath taking.
chris – They are soo pretty – great photos!
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…

Dawn – Dear H family ~ So, so very glad we were able to squeeze you in! Your little baby boy was a delight and honor to work with! He looks GREAT in hats…I see many more in his future! ♥ ♥
Beth Speakes – What a beautiful little baby boy!!! Sooo sweet!! I love those shots and the hats are really precious on him!! Great job, Dawn!!
Sara – The hats do look amazing!! I absolutely love the colors in the first one!!
Brandy Maso – Just precious!!!!!!!!!
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!

This little darling came back to the studio for her first birthday portraits this past week and I cannot believe how much she has changed since we created her newborn portraits! She was scrumptuous then but OH MY, she is just totally adorable now and busy, busy, busy too! We had the best time. Here are a couple sneak peeks for her doting mom, dad and grandparents!
Be sure to leave some comments below for this sweetie pie’s family! Isn’t she just adorable??

This adorable couple from Springfield, Virginia were in the studio yesterday for their pregnancy portraits. They are at 36 weeks and counting down the days.

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!
