This expecting mom & dad were here a few days ago from Alexandria, Virginia for their maternity portraits. They are such a sweet, sweet couple and I cannot wait to meet their little boy! He is destined to be a Green Bay Packers football fan if his dad has any say about it!
So, here are a couple sneak peeks of “your bump as { art }”™ and I just love them both! Hope you do too!!
Roger – Dawn, I LOVE how all the colors of the floor, chair, drop (and of course Mom) blend to create such a classic portrait feel in the second image. EXCELLENT !!
Dawn – Jason & Zolaika ~ I really enjoyed working with the two of you both. Can’t wait to meet your little man when he arrives! ♥ ♥
Angela Griffith – Breathtaking!!! These are incredible!!!
Beth – Wow! The second shot especially is so beautiful. I love the colors and contrasts you used in that one. What a beautiful mom to be!
What a precious little princess this infant girl was! She came into the world three weeks ago at just over 5 lbs. At her newborn portrait session this week she was still just under 6 lbs… but what a joy she was! She was so tiny that the cherry hat almost made her disappear.
Please leave some blog lov’in for the proud parents of this darling little girl in the grey comment box below…

Beth – What precious shots of this little beauty! That second one with the adorable hat is just too too cute! She is so peaceful in the first one. Love these!
Just before vacation I learned that this newborn princess surprised her mommy & daddy by coming a few weeks early… she wasn’t due until July 5th! Since I was headed out of town for a much needed vacation, we couldn’t get this darling into the studio for her newborn baby portraits until this week. But even at two weeks old, she still curled up perfectly for me. She made the cutest little faces too!
So… for her proud family and friends in the Lorton, Virginia area, here are a couple of sneak peeks of your baby as {art}™. Be sure and leave mom & dad some “blog love” in the comment section below…….. Enjoy!!

I had a little angel visit me on her 7th day for her newborn portrait session…really, an angel! This little baby slept for me nearly the entire time and when her little eyes were open…she hardly made a peep! I kept telling her mother and father who live in Springfield, Virginia that they are two very blessed parents. I see a LOT of newborns and this one wins the title of the “sleepiest” little angel.
I love, love, love the adorable hat that her mommy brought ~ she wore it well in this image!!! What a precious angel! Don’t forget to leave some blog love for this proud mom & dad.

This darling couple from Lorton, Virginia were in the studio Friday for their pregnancy portrait session. The expectant mom-to-be requested one of my signature bump poses; the pink tulle and gerber daisy. I asked her if she was open to trying something unique and fortunately for me, she was! I love the way it turned out and hopefully she will to! Another “your bump as { Art }”™ original.

It’s Christmas Eve! Hopefully by now all of your shopping is done and you are finishing up those last minute details. Personally, I am still trying to get some baking and wrapping done and still a little bit of decorating that my kids really enjoy! I’ll get there!
My daughter has asked me this question several times over the last week; “Mom, what do you really want for Christmas?” Without hesitation, I have replied each time, “PEACE.” Not being satisfied with this answer, she wants to know what tangible thing I want but I keep assuring her that all I really want is “PEACE”.
Now, my daughter loves to make little beaded necklaces and bracelets and so I asked her to make me one that said PEACE on it, for Christmas. She did and of course I think it turned out lovely. In addition, my son made a little tissue paper covered candle holder made out of a baby food jar. What better is there than to receive to hand made gifts by your children?
So, to all my dear friends and clients…I pray for PEACE to be in your family this Christmas season. God’s PEACE. For it is only His PEACE that brings calm in a storm or comfort to those who are mourning the absence of a loved one. I pray for PEACE to all the families who are struggling to make ends meet or who need jobs. I pray for PEACE for all our military families. I pray for all the children who will not have any gifts under the tree this year…may God send them His PEACE to assure them that He loves them and that they have received the best gift they could ever receive…the baby in the manger, Jesus our Savior.
In closing, may God bless your homes with His PEACE and may you open your hearts more than ever to celebrate the birth of our Savior! Merry Christmas to all!
If you would like to attend a Christmas Eve service but either do not have a church you regularly attend or yours is not having a service tonight, I invite you to join me at Manassas Assembly of God at 6 p.m. This is always a lovely way to help me refocus on what the Christmas celebration is all about. Come early as it is a popular service. You can visit their website for directions or more details by clicking here.

Okay, I laughed till I cried at my poor doggie in this hysterical pumpkin costume. I could just image him saying, “Does this make me look fat?” ROTFL!! He did a good job in putting up with me taking his pictures! After each “click” from the camera, he’d lay down as if to say; ”I’m done!” Needless to say, I had to prop the poor thing back up and pose him several times, ’cause that’s just what I do!
But, it was all worth it to have some cutie-pie shots of my precious poodle baby! So here’s a sneak peek for you to enjoy!
