Newborn Photographer near Alexandria Virginia ~ { Baby Tèa }

Dawn — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 07:11:27 +0000

Time for a slide show! This brand new mom and dad are from Alexandria, VA but they have family across the United States, as well as abroad, who are anxiously waiting to see this precious little girl.

Baby Tèa’s grandmother will recognize two very special keepsakes in the last portrait. Both the old teddy bear and the “cherry tree” blanket were her own daughter’s childhood lovies. It was our privilege to incorporate them into one of baby Tèa’s portraits…all though I don’t think she noticed as she sleep right through it all tucked down in her basket! What a sweetie! Enjoy!

Newborn Photographers to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Big Baby Blues }

Dawn — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 23:30:55 +0000

This precious little princess had the perfect balance of “sleepy time” and “wakey time”. She must have known how much we wanted a portrait of her big, beautiful, deep blue eyes as she gave us a good 15 minutes of awake time right after a feeding. In looking at her dad, it was clear that she has her daddy’s eyes! She was a bit older than most of our newbies but even on her 18th day of life, she was still such a petite little bundle. It is was totally evident just how smitten her parents are with her…and why wouldn’t they be??

Mary and I really enjoyed the hours we spent with this little blessing and as always, I am so honored that her mother and father chose Dandelion Wishes® to capture this precious time in her life! We truly appreciate all our clients that travel from Alexandria, Virginia for our newborn sessions – and there has been a LOT recently…must be something in the water there!!

Maternity Photographers to Washington DC ~ { Chic Windy Mama }

Dawn M. Miller — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:39:02 +0000

Like most photographers, I get an itch from time to time to try something different. I’ve had these maternity poses in my mind for some time now & I’ve been waiting for someone willing to indulge my creative juices. This lovely lady gave me free reign… and she totally rocked the “windy mama” pose! On top of that, doesn’t she just “glow” in the pink maternity wrap?

The pregnant body is such a beautiful thing to behold and be proud of. You are carrying the gift of life – what a awesome experience you have been given as a new mom. Many of our clients have been trying for years to become pregnant and we are so honored when they allow us to help them celebrate their pregnancy with maternity portrait art for their home.

Thinking about maternity pictures? Our studio in the Washington DC metro area specializes in chic maternity portraits that are elegant yet modest & sometimes even a little ”windy.” Just imagine… your bump as {art}™ !

Newborn Baby Photographers to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Wide Awake }

Dawn — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 13:36:04 +0000

This absolutely beautiful baby girlie was with us yesterday for her newborn session – however, she decided that she did NOT want to miss out on anything. So, she pretty much stayed wide awake for almost the entire session! I had to admit defeat and give her credit for outlasting me. As many of you know, I normally prevail in these situations but on this occasion – not so much!

So, her loving mommy is going drive back from Alexandria, Virginia again next week so we can create those dreamy, sleepy baby portraits that we all adore. In the mean time, the portrait below is the perfect representation of Miss J’s whole visit with us – big beautiful bright eyes and all! And look at her yummy baby cheeks…

Baby Photographer to Alexandria Virginia ~ { Oh Baby! }

Dawn — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:08:10 +0000

A lovely mom from Alexandria Virginia brought her adorable baby girl in this week to celebrate her first birthday with some “baby’s 1st birthday portraits.” Before we got into the “smash the birthday cake” shots we caught just a few images of her in her girlie finerie. Precious little lips, rosey cheeks and beautiful eyes – she is picture perfect! But Oh Baby – she really enjoyed the second part when she got to eat the icing on the cake!

I remember when my daughter was this age and now she is getting ready to turn ten! Time flies so quickly…what better way to remember this milestone than with a few portraits like this?
