Newborn Photographers, Ashburn Virginia ~ { Chillin’ with Dad }

Dawn — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 18:14:49 +0000

You may remember this Ashburn, Virginia mom and dad from their maternity session late last year – see here. Well….their little baby boy arrived! We were so excited to meet this little guy and he did not disappoint us. He slept nearly the entire session. The only time he really made a fuss was when I wanted to change his pose…he give a little squawk and then drift right back to dreamland!

Here’s a quick sneak peek for his proud family…there is a reason they are so proud, just look at his precious little face!

Maternity Photographers to Brambleton & Ashburn, Virginia ~ { Anticipation }

Dawn — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 23:24:37 +0000

What a lovely, lovely couple. I am so blessed to be able to photograph some of the nicest couples during their special time of anticipation. And, here recently, so many of our maternity portrait clients have been coming from the Ashburn / Dulles area… must be something in the water over there!

This couple from Brambleton, VA was no exception… both are super excited about their expected little one. Dad remarked that he was not fond of being in front of the camera but honestly, the camera loves him! Just look at the image below…dad is just awesome! Mom was just gorgeous and a joy to work with too. She was such a cute little thing ~ I wish I looked that awesome at 7 months pregnant.

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!

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!

Personal Favorites { Portrait Studio Northern Virginia DC MD }

I’m looking forward to getting busy again 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 the new year I thought I’d share some of my favorite shots from last year. I so enjoyed working with each of these babies & children in the studio.
