Baby Photographer to Woodbridge Virginia ~ { Baby, She’s Growing Up! }

It is hard to believe that Little Miss C was here just a short year ago ~ what a beautiful baby girl she is growing up to be!  It leaves me scratching my head and wondering, where on earth did the last year go?  We had a ton of fun and Miss C’s personality could best be described as; “HRH Cutie Pie”!   She has so much energy that I know she wears her momma out by the end of each day!  

So, here’s my favorite portrait from Miss C’s First Birthday Session…I love her sweet smile and her adorable piggy toes!

Dawn – Dear Stacy & Dorsey ~ I hope you love this as much as I do! Miss C is a total cutie pie. I still cannot believe she is already a year old! ♥ ♥

Beth – Wow! What a beautiful shot and gorgeous baby girl!

Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer ~ { In Daddy’s Hands }

This newborn baby’s mom & dad commissioned us to create this image for a canvas to hang on a large wall behind their baby grand piano.  Mom had noticed the artistic photography which is often featured on the top TV show Extreme Home Makeover and wanted a similar art piece of her baby boy.  We were delighted to be able to fulfill her request and we cannot wait to see the canvas when it arrives in the studio!

I love this pose – it really captures the contrast of this tiny newborn in his daddy’s strong hands.  Daddy’s are such an important part of a child’s life and I think this pose just speaks volumes, don’t you?

Beth – What a beautiful shot and precious baby!!

Timothy – Love this shot. I want a photo like this for me and my child. Unfortunately I can’t take it…..

Day 7 Baby Girl { Newborn Photographer Northern Virginia }

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!

Professional Photographer VA DC MD ~ { A Spring Walk }

This past Sunday, my daughter and I took a walk down Main Street in old town Warrenton, Virginia.  Though it was a bit chilly I could definitely feel Spring in the air.  As she walked happily along the low walls that define many of the little front yards, I was reminded of how it felt to be an eight year old child ~ so care free.  We talked about all the pretty flowers that were finally emerging after a long cold winter and we stopped to take some pictures of some of our favorites.  So I thought I’d share a few to brighten your day today!  Be blessed today!

Little Artist { Northern Virginia Photographer }

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!

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! :o )

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. :o ) !!!

Featured at Fauquier Hospital { Portrait Studio Warrenton Virginia }

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.
