Newborn Photographers to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Big Baby Blues }

This precious little princess had the perfect balance of “sleepy time” and “wakey time”.  She must have known how much we wanted a portrait of her big, beautiful, deep blue eyes as she gave us a good 15 minutes of awake time right after a feeding.  In looking at her dad, it was clear that she has her daddy’s eyes!  She was a bit older than most of our newbies but even on her 18th day of life, she was still such a petite little bundle.  It is was totally evident just how smitten her parents are with her…and why wouldn’t they be??

Mary and I really enjoyed the hours we spent with this little blessing and as always, I am so honored that her mother and father chose Dandelion Wishes® to capture this precious time in her life!  We truly appreciate all our clients that travel from Alexandria, Virginia for our newborn sessions – and there has been a LOT recently…must be something in the water there!!

Dawn – Dear Aaron & Kim ~ What a beautiful baby girl you have been blessed with! I know the pregnancy was very difficult but she sure was worth it!! God bless you guys. ♥ ♥

Angela Griffith – What a precious tiny little baby!!! That second shot is sooo sweet!!!

Newborn Baby Photographers to Arlington Virginia ~ { Heritage }

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!!

Newborn Baby Portraits, Washington DC Area ~ { Contrast }

There is something about dad and baby portraits that touch my heart in a special way.  Part of it must be the contrast between the delicate features of a fresh newborn baby and their daddy’s big strong hands.  This dad was so into his new little man – it was beautiful to watch.  Getting this football image set up takes a LOT of patience, particularly on the part of the dad and this one deserves kuddos for a job well done! 

I know this will make his wife swoon!  So, here you go girl ~ how awesome are your two men together??

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.

Newborn Photographers to Maryland MD ~ { Smitten }

Seems like this little newborn boy’s parents were just here for their maternity session – time sure does fly!  Little “J” made his appearance right on time just over a week ago.  Mom and Dad made the lengthy drive from Waldorf, Maryland so that I could play with their brand new blessing – believe me, the blessing was all mine! 

It is always a joy to me to observe the love that new parents have for these little miracles that have been given them and this new mother and father were no different.  It was clear that they are smitten with this new little human that God has entrusted to them.   

So, mom and dad…here is your precious newborn baby’s sneak peek….

Joy – What a gorgeous Mama! Lovely images!

Shardai – Beautiful mama I love the second pic. I was always conflicted about taking professional maternity pics because I’m a somewhat conservative person and I just wouldn’t be so bold as to take some of the pics I had seen when this phenomenon first appeared. The idea of showing my belly petrified me. But seeing these elegant mamas, especially this last one. I am definitely going to consider this for my second pregnancy.

Crystal – Where did you find the alphabet blocks? I am looking all over trying to find cute ones??

Dawn – Crystal ~ these were a gift to my son for his first birthday back in 1999 so I have absolutely no clue where to tell you they came from! Good luck searching for some similar ones!!

The 5 As – It just takes one click in the fraction of a second to capture a lifetime of memories. We think you just may have captured the right fraction. Thanks for your patience. She looks beautiful and exactly as she really is. Nothing phony or contrived. Thanks Dawn, Mary and the rest of the gang. It was truly a group effort to make it happen.

Beth – So cute!!! Love the pose!

Baby Photographer to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Oh Baby! }

A lovely mom from Alexandria Virginia brought her adorable baby girl in this week to celebrate her first birthday with some “baby’s 1st birthday portraits.”  Before we got into the “smash the birthday cake” shots we caught  just a few images of her in her girlie finerie.  Precious little lips, rosey cheeks and beautiful eyes – she is picture perfect!  But Oh Baby – she really enjoyed the second part when she got to eat the icing on the cake!

I remember when my daughter was this age and now she is getting ready to turn ten!  Time flies so quickly…what better way to remember this milestone than with a few portraits like this?

This Alexandria Virginia mom and dad were in the portrait studio just a few weeks ago for their maternity  portraits.  Last week they brought their precious little baby girl back for some creative newborn baby portraits.   Her mother and father have been waiting a long time to hold her…she was definitely worth the wait!   

Even her abuela who was visiting from Connecticut came along to enjoy the experience… we all enjoyed watching this precious little angel donning her flower hat.  And the SMILES!  Oh my!!  This little girl was full of smiles for us!

Baby Photographers Washington DC Metro Area ~ { Sleepy }

This little Christmas doll baby from Alexandria, Virginia fell asleep waiting for Santa.  Mom & dad & baby attended our Photo Christmas Card & Holiday Portrait event two weekends ago.  We got a wonderful family portrait just before little Miss “A” decided it was time for a nap!  As a professional baby photographer, I have learned to go with the flow and I am so glad we did. 

Since mom and dad want their family portrait to be a surprise for all their friends and family on their Christmas card list, here is just a little sneak peek of their sleeping angel…
