Newborn Photographers in Warrenton Virginia ~ { Womb-Mates }

Dawn M. Miller — Wed, 12 May 2010 01:06:53 +0000

Look at these precious newborn twins from Warrenton Virginia! At two months old, I was concerned that we would not be able to get that “newborn” look that mom really wanted but with persistance and a good pinch of patience, we were able to achieve the “miracle shot” we were looking for!

What a pleasure this little brother & sister where to work with…their mommy, daddy and grandparents are truly “double” blessed. Mom and dad ordered a beautiful gallery wrapped canvas of the second portrait of the twins. We all can’t wait to see it when it arrives…it is going to be amazing in person!

Baby Photographers in Warrenton Virginia ~ { Sonnenschein }

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!

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!!

Perfect Little Pumpkin { Newborn Photographers Northern Virginia }

Dawn M. Miller — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:05:15 +0000

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” ™.

Future Quarterback { Newborn Photographer Northern Virginia }

Dawn M. Miller — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 23:21:48 +0000

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!!!

Beautiful Maternity Portraits { Pregnancy Photography Northern Virginia }

Dawn M. Miller — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:09:05 +0000

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.

Pregnancy Portraits { Maternity Photographer Northern Virginia }

Dawn M. Miller — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:16:25 +0000

I am so far behind in my editing but I just had to share this beautiful baby bump from one of our creative pregnancy portrait sessions. Baby bumps are so beautiful towards the end of the pregnancy! The anticipation of the new little life that is about to emerge is just so exciting!

So here is another “your bump as art” ™ portrait ~ perfect for decorating the baby’s nursery!

Pregnancy Photographer Warrenton Virginia ~ { Artistic Maternity Portraits }

Dawn M. Miller — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:04:18 +0000

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….

Child Photographer Northern Virginia ~ { Little Fans Limited Events }

Dawn M. Miller — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:31:20 +0000

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??

I love this one! The eldest boy came up with this “pose“!!

More sneak peeks later!

Favorite vacation images { Professional Photographer Northern Virginia }

Dawn M. Miller — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 03:54:37 +0000

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.
