Last week, this sweet doll baby from Warrenton Virginia came to the studio. Little Miss “G” has been here before and she always makes me work really, really hard for her smiles but I have to say they are soooo worth it! When she smiles, she lights up the room like sunshine on a summer day. In fact, that is the pet name her Austrian grandmother has for her… her little ”sonnenschein” which is German for sunshine.
So, here is a sneak peek for this sweet baby girl’s family!
Dawn – Dear W family ~ Your little Sonnenschein is beautiful. I know she lights up your life on a daily basis! ♥ ♥
Angela Griffith – OH my she is a little doll! Love those gorgeous brown eyes and long lashes!!
margherita warhurst – Dawn, Gorgeous shot!! You always get the best shots and bring out the best!! She is our sonnenschein… Cant wait to see the rest!! Thanks again.. I know “G” always makes you work so much!! I hope you had a nice nap after we left!! HUGS
Grandma C. – What a special little granddaughter. Dawn, you make her pictures look like something out of magazines. Of course being so cute and photogenic helps too. Love you princess (you could be one you know!)–Grandma C.
Tara – Such a pretty little girl! Great job Dawn! Way to capture the light in her eyes!
Iva Tipton – Beautiful baby…beautiful picture!
Jasmine – Her little eyes and her smile is just precious! I hope to someday feel the love that you feel for your daughter.
Two adorable sisters from Warrenton Virginia were in the studio this week for some fun and creative portraits. When they arrived, I was thrilled to see them in their Kaiya Eve pettiskirts that they bought at our local children’s boutique in old town Warrenton, VA. Whether girlie girl or tom boy… ALL little girls love these pettiskirts and they are always fun to use in portraits! Oh, what a pretty “your child as {art}”™ gallery wrap canvas this would make!
Lets see some comments for these pretty little girls to read! I told them they would be “famous” as soon as I posted their sneak peeks!!

Angela Griffith – OH my what a doll indeed! Love those big eyes!!!
Brandy – Adorable!
Beth – Oh Wow! What an adorable little boy!! Great shot!
Dawn – What a joy your baby was to play with! He was just delightful!
Okay, so I am going to do what all good mothers do…I am going to brag a bit on one of my children! Once a week my eight year old daughter attends an art class that she started just over a year ago. She chose to work with pastels and has steadily been honing her skills. When I went to pick her up from class yesterday she brought home her lastest work of art that she’d been working on since just before Christmas. She loves puppies so… more often than not, that is her subject of choice. Well, I just LOVED it! I am so proud of her. She works very hard to get her shadows and blending accurate. So, I told her I was going to share it here on my blog like any slightly biased mom would!!
Thanks for indulging me!

Angela Griffith – Oh April is really talented! Kennah loved it! Konner said ” cool” Wow she will be painting some of your drops some day! Keep up the great work April!!!
Beth – How wonderful!! There is NO doubt she has your artistic talent! Tell her that we all LOVE it! That one should be framed! Maybe she could do one for her Auntie Beth!!
Dawn – Yep, it’s already on her bedroom wall! )
Kirsten Price – How precious, April… You did an awesome job! The artwork is just as beautiful as the artist! I hope Mom will be able to share more of your work for everyone to see. ) !!!
Last year I joined a local camera club in Warrenton, VA and have really enjoyed making some new friends there! This month our club was asked to provide a selection of their work to be displayed outside the conference rooms at the Fauquier Hosptial. Each photographer was allowed to bring three framed images or portraits. I had a hard time deciding on which three to bring from the studio ~ below are my final selections. Do you recognize your little one there??
As you can see, my choices were of my favorite little subjects…newborn portraits and baby portraits. If you are expecting, please visit both our Maternity~Pregnancy and Newborn~Baby pages of our website for more information on these very special sessions.
There are many other beautiful and diverse images of nature, travel and human interest on display – very much worth popping by to see! If you are in the Warrenton area, I would encourage you to stop by and take a peek. Our work will be on display through mid March. You can find the display by going in the main entrance and following the signs to the Conference rooms.

Angela Griffith – Beautiful image!! What a gorgeous Mom and Baby!!!! Great job!
Just wanted to quickly share an image from another newborn portrait session of a Warrenton Virginia client. Don’t you think this image is just perfect for this season? This precious little baby boy took a while to settle down into his “pumpkin patch” but the resulting portrait was well worth it! So without further adieu, here’s… “your baby as art” ™.

Angela Griffith – Oh My gosh this is the cutest thing I have ever seen!! Has to be one of my very fav’s of yours!!!! Great job!!! you are soo creative!!!
Beth – I agree with Angela. This has to be one of my fave’s!! I LOVE the mirror image. What an adorable little baby boy!!
Well, is this not the cutest little newborn baby boy you have ever seen?? Dad & Mom from Warrenton Virginia brought baby “D” into the studio today for his newborn portraits and they allowed me to endulge my creativity! At just 7 days old, this little guy was just the perfect size to rest on top of a football. Dad did such a great job of holding everything steady once Mom and I got baby situated – which took some doing! But this image is so worth the work…it truly is “your baby as art” ™.
Oh, and be sure to leave your comments for the brand new mom & dad by clicking on the “comments” link at the bottom of this post. They’d love to hear everybody’s comments about their future quarterback!!!

Beth – That is just the cutest little baby!! His facial features are just beautiful! What a great shot, even though it was a lot of work for you all! Hopefully, you’ll share more of his shots.
sadie – precious…….this is a great picture of little man………..very precious!
Angela Griffith – Oh what a little doll!!! You are one busy gal Dawn!!!! Great job!
Carrie Steffe – oh Dawn..glad you were able to get that shot, its not an easy one to get at all! Nice job 
This beautiful expectant mom-to-be came into the studio this week for her pregnancy portraits session. This mom has the most beautiful and captivating blue eyes! I love, love, love this image…she is so cute and chic at the same time ~ a lovely young woman! So here’s a few sneak peeks for the family to share with friends!
Big sister came as well and she was your typical toddler~she brought her own agenda! Although she was a busy little girl, we coaxed her into a little reading time with mom which was so sweet to capture. You really can tell that she enjoys her regular reading times with mom. I can just see her reading to her little baby sister in a couple years!

Beth – I really love these photos, Dawn!! That little girl is just soooo cute! I love them in the white outfits. You’re right, the mom has such beautiful eyes and the first shot really captured them!! Another beautiful mom!
Angela Griffith – Oh my how sweet is this!!! Beautiful!!!!!!
This darling young lady from Warrenton, Virginia came in yesterday for her maternity portaits and we had the best time! Her baby boy was due on Tuesday so we are so glad he waited and allowed us the time to get his first portraits just prior to his arrival.
The portrait image below is especially touching, I think. The small photo next to her is of the expectant daddy when he was a baby…how sweet is that?
I just love this image below! Isn’t she just gorgeous? Can I just say that she’s just as beautiful, if not more beautiful on the inside! We had such a fun time together!
Now, I normally prefer color images but the black and white photography version is just as captivating on this mom-to-be!! Either version would be an awesome “your bump as art” ™ wall portrait.
And isn’t this cute??
And, just one more sneak peek because I cannot help myself! I just love this pose too. I decided to add some artful touches along with our Fine Art finish and I love the resulting image.
