Baby Photographer to Ashburn Virginia ~ { Donaldinho, the next Ronaldinho? }

Roger — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:39:20 +0000

This dad from Ashburn Virginia and his best buds are huge soccer players and fans. So when dad & mom requested that we shoot some dad & baby portraits on his commemorative world cup soccer ball we were happy to oblige. For those of you not into soccer ( as was I ) Ronaldo de Assis Moreira is a Brazilian “footballer” who plays for Italian Serie A club Milan and the Brazil national team.

Ronaldo is commonly known as “Ronaldinho” ~ which is Portuguese for “Little Ronaldo”. He is widely regarded as one of the most gifted footballers of his generation. Well, it looks as if a new generation of soccer stars has been born and you could hardly get an earlier start than 7 days old.

So for mom & dad Donald, your soccer team, friends and fans, here’s a sneak peek of your little Donald or “Donaldinho” !

The second image is especially for the proud new mother… she desperately was hoping we could catch her new baby boy smiling and smile he did!

Newborn Baby Photographer to Ashburn Virginia ~ { Little Drummer Boy }

Dawn M. Miller — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 21:21:57 +0000

This week we had the sweetest couple from Ashburn Virginia come to the studio for a newborn baby session. Their new “Little Drummer Boy” was delightful to work with. Dad is a RUSH fan and as such, he brought along his snare drum for me to use as a special prop. I love it when clients share their ideas. The image below is the result and I think we’d all agree that this is the cutest little RUSH fan ever!

Newborn Photographer to Ashburn Virginia ~ { Curls Galore }

Dawn M. Miller — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 02:10:54 +0000

Just before the snow began to fall last week, this sweet couple and their newborn baby son came from Ashburn Virgina for a newborn portrait art session. What a sweet baby he is! He slept nearly the entire time with only a little squeak now and again. Oh, and his HAIR! Love, love, love his hair!! I had a really hard time keeping my hands off of his soft curls!

Dad is a marine who was home for the birth of his son and must return to the west coast next week so I know he will enjoy seeing this sneak peek of his brand new baby boy!

Creative { Newborn Photographers to Leesburg Virginia }

Dawn — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:34:57 +0000

This sweet family from Leesburg, Virginia brought their precious new baby girl in this week for some creative newborn portraits. Mom was lucky and was able to take advantage of a ”sqeeze-in” session for her 11 day old and all though this little princess was a bit more alert than our normal 5-7 day old newborns, we were still able to capture some precious images of her!

Love the peacefulness in the first image…reminds me of that saying; “she’s sleeping like a baby”. And, the second one - all though not intended to be “Christmassy” - reminds me of a tuckered out little Santa’s helper!

So, here are a couple of my favorite “your baby as {art}”™ captures as a sneak peek for her doting family! Please leave them some blog love below…

Favorites of 2007 { Portrait Studio Northern Virginia DC MD }

Dawn M. Miller — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 23:57:55 +0000

I’m looking forward to getting busy again in 2008 after the long holiday break. I was thinking back over all the little cuties that I had the priviledge of working with…So, before moving into 2008 I thought I’d share some of my favorite shots from 2007. I so enjoyed working with each of these babies & children in the studio.
