Dandelion Wishes®

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}™  !

This precious newborn baby boy and his proud mommy came all the way from Arlington, Virginia yesterday as a squeeze-in appointment… I am soooo glad we were able to accomodate them as we had such a wonderful time with this sleeply little man.  All though he arrived almost four weeks earlier than expected, this premie still weighed in at a healthy 7 lb, 8oz and 21″ long!!  I know mom was wondering what he would have weighed had he reached full term!  Yikes! 

Mom loves hats… so here are a few sneak peeks for her of her little blessing donning some of her favorites from our creative newborn hats collection here at the studio!

Don’t forget ~ parents of our newborns always love your comments…. don’t be shy!  Leave them some blog love below… 

Santa made an early visit to the Washington DC area this year.   He stopped by the studio for some fun and creative baby Christmas portraits.  Little baby “G” wasn’t exactly sure what to think.   Even when she mustered up enough nerve to reach for her “first bell of Christmas” she never took her eyes off of Santa. 

I remember when we celebrated my baby’s first Christmas (11 years ago)…. Oh the innocence and wonder………. Wow, time passes so quickly.   So mom & dad, hope this image helps you preserve the memory of your baby’s Christmas for many years to come and always….         

A moment captured in time…a tender moment…a brief moment…a bittersweet memory that will last in this couple’s hearts forever.  Shortly after the creation of this image, their sweet baby boy slipped from this world into the arms of Jesus.  For reasons his sweet parents will never understand, he was called home. 

Their loss touched all of us here at the studio deeply and we continue to pray for them.   So, at the request of his parents, I share this in memory of little Micah Aiden.  You can tell he was loved so very deeply…

This beautiful expectant mom-to-be came into the studio this week for her pregnancy portraits session.  This mom has the most beautiful and captivating blue eyes!  I love, love, love this image…she is so cute and chic at the same time ~ a lovely young woman!   So here’s a few sneak peeks for the family to share with friends!

Big sister came as well and she was your typical toddler~she brought her own agenda!   Although she was a busy little girl, we coaxed her into a little reading time with mom which was so sweet to capture.  You really can tell that she enjoys her regular reading times with mom.  I can just see her reading to her little baby sister in a couple years!
