A few weeks back, this little sweetie came for one of our baby sessions and if you recall, we had loads of fun! Now that her mommy & daddy have been back for the reveal, we can share more of the adorable expressions we captured…I bet she makes you smile just as much as she did me! Plus, I know her aunties, uncles and grandparents are dying to see them all too…enjoy!
Dawn – Dear “D” family ~ your first baby girl was beautiful and Charley is every bit as gorgeous as her big sister. What a joy she was to “play” with! We had a big time, didn’t we?? ♥ ♥
Tracy – I have the cutest kids. 
Thank you for capturing that!
What fun 6 month old baby sessions are!! We always enjoy playing with babies this age. This little sweetheart’s big sister was here just over two years ago and I can’t help but imagine her being such a good big sister.
Mom & baby came from Dulles, Virginia for some artistic baby photography and we were excited to be able to use a few new props that have been waiting for just the right age baby. Love Miss C’s chubby, rosy cheeks and her sweet piggy toes poking out the doll crib. And just look at her toothless smile! Precious!
I know this sweetie’s family is so anxious to see this sneak peek…enjoy it!

Dawn – Dear D Family ~ You are blessed with two beautiful little princesses! Miss C was a ton of fun and we loved every minute of her visit! ♥ ♥
Beth – Wow! Those shots turned out beautiful!! I know mom must be LOVING the second one, because she said she wanted it just like the one on your website. Just a gorgeous baby!!
Tracy – As always, AMAZING! We had such a fun time. Can’t wait to see the rest!
Well, it seems like this little princess’s mom and dad from Sterling, Virginia where just here for their maternity session! Oh my, how time flies! Sooooo, after being fashionably late, little Miss Caelee Grace finally arrived, to the great joy of her mom and dad. She was an itty bitty little peanut at just under 6 lbs and a picture of perfection through out her session. We were able to capture a wonderful variety of newborn baby portraits because she slept nearly the entire five hours! She only made a few little peeps when she was hungry – my oh my, how blessed her new mother and father are!
***And, just a little side note, after a 15 month long run of never being peed or pooped on, it seems only fitting that Caelee “Grace” was the baby who “graced” Mary with a shirt full! Gotta love the irony of that!
Thank you to this little princess’s family, who waited so patiently for her sneak peek…I hope it was worth your wait!

Dawn – Dear “F” family ~ What a sweet, sweet peanut you have been blessed with! I hope she is continuing to be the quiet, sleepy little girlie that she was when she was here! See you soon! ♥ ♥
Heather – Dawn, these are amazing, thanks! You’ve captured her perfectly in these photos, and the hat Mary made works so well. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos, as I’m sure they’re all fantastic!
Mary T. – I may have gotten a “shirtful” — but being able to cuddle this sweet little girl made it all worth it!
Nonna & Poppa – These images brought tears to our eyes as they so succeed in conveying the essence of her beauty. We love you Caelee Grace!
angela griffith – sweet baby girl! Love the second shot! But the first one is amazing!!!!
LAURA – Precious,Beautiful.. A little sweet pea…. Congratulations to you Heather and Tom,amazing photos~ Much Love
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.

This Ashburn, Virginia couple are expecting their third baby and have decided to wait and be surprised by their baby girl or baby boy ~ hence the alphabet blocks below!
LOVE the second portrait of this gorgeous momma to be…elegant and sensual with her beautiful baby bump. I sure wish I had looked even remotely this good during my first pregnancy - much less, my third! Wow!
Hope you enjoy your sneak peek “D” family. We can’t wait to be ”surprised” too!!!

Joy – What a gorgeous Mama! Lovely images!
Shardai – Beautiful mama I love the second pic. I was always conflicted about taking professional maternity pics because I’m a somewhat conservative person and I just wouldn’t be so bold as to take some of the pics I had seen when this phenomenon first appeared. The idea of showing my belly petrified me. But seeing these elegant mamas, especially this last one. I am definitely going to consider this for my second pregnancy.
Crystal – Where did you find the alphabet blocks? I am looking all over trying to find cute ones??
Dawn – Crystal ~ these were a gift to my son for his first birthday back in 1999 so I have absolutely no clue where to tell you they came from! Good luck searching for some similar ones!!
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!

Beth – I absolutely LOVE my new “My everything bag”! I can’t tell you how many wonderful comments I’ve gotten on it already and I’ve only had it a couple of weeks! The photos we picked for it are perfect! The cosmetic bag is a huge hit also. People have seen that one because I carry it in the big bag and use it for my cell phone and all the other little things I take with me. The quality on both of these bags is top notch. What a great purchase they were AND I have my eye on a couple of your other ones! I highly recommend these bags! Thanks so much, Dawn!
