Creative... Newborn Photography

This sweet family from Leesburg, Virginia brought their precious new baby girl in this week for some creative newborn portraits.  Mom was lucky and was able to take advantage of a ”sqeeze-in” session for her 11 day old and all though this little princess was a bit more alert than our normal 5-7 day old newborns, we were still able to capture some precious images of her!

Love the peacefulness in the first image…reminds me of that saying; “she’s sleeping like a baby”.  And, the second one - all though not intended to be “Christmassy” - reminds me of a tuckered out little Santa’s helper!

So, here are a couple of my favorite “your baby as {art}”™ captures as a sneak peek for her doting family!  Please leave them some blog love below…

This sweet family from Sterling, Virginia returned two weeks sooner than what they had planned…that’s because their sweet baby girl decided she was coming earlier than her doctors predicted!  ;-)  Her parents warned me that she was fiesty and she sure was but we still got some awesome images.  So, here are just a couple sneak peeks for her adoring family, big sister and friends.

Be sure to leave some blog love for this sweet family and their newborn baby girl!

Our “Pumpkin-Poo” { Photographer in Northern VA DC Area }

Creative... From the Heart

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!

Favorite vacation images { Professional Photographer Northern Virginia }

Creative... From the Heart

The last two weeks have been so very busy!  We got back from a family vacation to Hatteras, N.C.  Then, my kids’ birthdays were this past weekend.  In between studio sessions and editing, I peeked at some of my vacation images.  I have quite a few favorite images but this has to be one of the top five!  My dear friend joined us for a few days and her girls and my kids played themselves silly each and every day at the beach.  It was at the end of one of these days that we all took a walk to the end of our rental home’s private board walk to watch the sunset over the sound.  I snapped a few of all of the kids sitting and chatting and then some of just my friend’s two girls.  I love the way this one turned out…no need for words…just sisters enjoying the end of a long Summer day.

Beth – I feel so blessed to have this beautiful shot you took of my girls! I can’t thank you enough for that!!! What a great time we had with you guys and what wonderful photos you took while we were there! I’m thrilled to have them to cherish for many years to come.

Lots of love,
Beth

Peter – one can’t help but to love the beach.
The balance in the photo you captured here is just breathtaking or well actually more of a calming nature in the breathtaking way if that makes sense.
I can almost feel the rays :-) and it sure does make me want to go to the beach.
Our trip took us to the beaches in Denmark but I guess as long as it is a beach there is just something about it :-)

My family and I, as I am sure most of you did as well, celebrated the finish to our July 4th by watching fireworks.  We took the kids to Great Meadows in The Plains, VA just north of Warrenton for their Famous Fourth celebration and as soon as we got there and unpacked our picnic dinner…it started to rain!  And rain it did!  The heavens opened up and it just poured!!  There we sat, huddled under our SUV’s lift-gate and umbrellas eating KFC!  Had it not been for the company of some great friends, I think we would have called it a day!  But we made the best of the situation and I am so glad we did.  After a couple hours, the rain ceased just in time for the best fireworks display. 

So, here are a few of my photos of the awesome fireworks display…courtesy of Great Meadows, The Plains, Virginia…

My Family { Portraits Preserved for Future Generations }

Creative... From the Heart

I was thinking today about why it is that I enjoy working in my studio.  As many of you know, my studio is in the lower level of my home so as is the case many days, I went upstairs to get some laundry and as I walked down the hall, I glanced over at the family portraits on the wall.  I had one of those moments…no, not a senior moment, but the kind of moment when something of the past collides with the present and you realize why what you do is so important to you.  You see, the walls of my hall upstairs are adorned with “My Family”.  Not my children or my parents but my heritage, my family of the past.  I have portraits of my grandparents, great aunts & uncles, my husband’s grandparents and more.  They are in all different ages of life and I often stand in front of them and ponder what was going on in their lives at the time those images were captured?  What hardships had they endured?  What traits and characteristics have they passed down to me and my children? 

Portraits from the past help to anchor us to our present and to the future.  They give validity to where we have come from and why we are who we are…good or bad.  I know for me personally, I am truly thankful for the spiritual heritage of my family…their faith, their prayers for the generations to come.  It is humbling to think that some of those prayers are now coming to fruition.  I am blessed…truly.

 So, I thought I would “introduce” you to some of “My Family”…

Wayne Campbell – Keep writing and keep taking pictures. This ability is a gift from God, meant to be used for the encouragement of others. UW

Emily Korff – Dawn, your photography is beautiful, and this post reminds me of why photographs of our family are so important. It’s just wonderful to imagine that you’re helping to make beautiful memories like the ones on your wall for other families :)

Meet “Jack”-The kids had a blast { Professional Photographers Northern Virginia }

Creative... From the Heart

Well, we had snow late last week which resulted in my kids being home from school, again.  They had the biggest time making this snowman…the snow was a wet one and just perfect for snowman-building!  By the time they had finished playing, it was dark.   Yes, it’s nearly February and my Christmas lights are still up in my back yard…but they gave the prettiest glow to the snow and pictures so I was glad they were still on.  Plus, the kids are still enjoying them!   They named this jolly ole man…Jack.
