Little Artist { Northern Virginia Photographer }

Creative... From the Heart

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!

Featured at Fauquier Hospital { Portrait Studio Warrenton Virginia }

Creative... Photo Studio Buzz

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.

Creative... Photo Studio Buzz

Hello to you all!  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday surrounded by your families and/or friends.  

Just wanted to make mention of an important deadline for any of you who are still contemplating ordering some last minute Gift Portraits or extra Christmas cards… 

The last day for all orders is December 5th.  Any orders received after that day will not be processed and submitted until January 5th, 2009.  Because we are trying to meet a tight delivery, all orders must be paid by credit card as there will not be time to wait on personal checks to clear.  Remember, do not send me your credit card information in an email.  You are welcome to send me your order via email but for security reasons, all credit card numbers need to be over the phone!

Child Photographers to Manassas Virginia ~ { Anticipating Christmas }

Creative... Child Photography

I have been photographing these two beautiful sisters from Manassas, Virginia for many years now and it is always such a joy!  Their mom brought them for their annual photo Christmas card session.  This year they decided to use two of the couture dresses that we provide for our clients to use here at the studio.  There are so many great portraits from this session but I only have time to share just one sneak peek.  This is one of my favorites!  I cannot wait to create a unique photo Christmas card design for this family. 

Be sure to leave a comment below for the parents of these two precious girls!

Christmas Cookies for Santa { Professional Photographer Northern VA MD }

Creative... Photo Studio Buzz

I had the priviledge of working with a wonderful local business to come up with a theme and design for their December Christmas & holiday advertising.  It certainly helped that they brought the most adorable little models into the studio for their ad session…including a furry one named “Lulu”, too! 

This darling and upscale boutique is located right on Main Street in Old Town Warrenton and has the most amazing clothing and creative toys you will find!  The children looked completely adorable in their holiday outfits – available for purchase at the boutique.  If you are still looking for that special outfit for family Christmas parties or special holiday portraits, then a stop into Dharma & Leopold’s Children’s Chic Boutique is a must!

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!

A Vintage Touch { Newborn Photographer Northern Virginia }

Creative... Newborn Photography

I finished up this precious newborn baby girls’ session in the studio today.   But the artist in me just would not let me leave this image alone!  I have learned to listen to that little voice and so I started creating…I love the finished portrait and just thought I’d share it with you all.  It has a shabby, vintage feel to it that I just love.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

Future Quarterback { Newborn Photographer Northern Virginia }

Creative... Newborn Photography

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” ™.

Beautiful Maternity Portraits { Pregnancy Photography Northern Virginia }

Creative... Maternity Photography

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.

Pregnancy Photographer Warrenton Virginia ~ { Artistic Maternity Portraits }

Creative... Maternity Photography

This darling mom-to-be came into the studio today from Warrenton, Virginia for some artistic maternity portraits.  She was at the very end of her pregnancy ~ her baby was actually due today!  I am so glad the baby waited! 

When you think about it, maternity portraits are really your baby’s first photos.  So, we started off doing some very artistic images.  The first one would be a wonderful “your bump as art” ™ wall portrait.  Gorgeous in a bedroom setting!

After getting the creative images, we ended with some fun ones!  

So, here is a sneak peek for the expectant mom and dad-to-be as they celebrate the final momements of their pregnancy.  Be sure to share your comments with them below….

Oh goodness, we had such a fun time in the studio with all our “Go Team Go” sessions!  With so many little fans I am a bit behind in editing but I wanted to post just a couple that are my favs so far.  Redskins were the favorite team by far but we also had some young boys that wore their team gear from our local football club here in Warrenton, Virginia - the Falcons!  Check them all out!  Aren’t they just the cutest??
