Children’s Portraits Fairfax Virginia area ~ { Prim & Proper }

What a sweet little visitor we had earlier this past week!   She and her family live near Fairfax, Virginia and were here just over a year ago for her first birthday session…now she has just turned two!  Goodness gracious, time has flown by and she has blossomed into such a lovely little girl!   It’s such a joy to be able to see our little ones growing up…warms our hearts for sure.

Little Miss “O” looked so prim and proper in her pretty pink dress and matching rosey cheeks.  Sweetness!  Here’s a little sneak peek for her mom and dad…enjoy your little beauty!Best Childrens Portraits Fairfax Virginia area ~ Professional Portrait Studios in Northern VA

Newborn Photographers in Northern Virginia ~ { Vintage Baby }

I am so excited to have finally been able to use this adorable vintage doll pram that I have had for almost a year now!  A friend of mine called me last Fall to say that her neighbor was getting rid of it and she immediatly thought of me ~ how cool is that??  Way! 

Mom and dad were happy to have me try this out with their newborn girl.  Dare I say, she slept like a baby?  Honestly, she snoozed nearly the entire session!  I sure hope she is doing a bit of that during the night time hours for her mommy & daddy!

Many thanks to this little angel’s adoring parents for allowing me to create a portrait that is truly “your baby as {art}” ™.

Creative Baby Photographer Washington DC Metro Area ~ { Sugar-n-Spice }

This very active, almost one year old baby girl visited the studio last week and boy did she keep me and her momma on our toes!  She ended up wearing her own self out and after a little bit of cuddling, she fell asleep.  Now, I normally do not get a chance to “play” with a baby this old who is sleeping but when the opportunity arose, I jumped on it.  I just adore this image below…totally!  She didn’t stay this way very long but just long enough to capture some precious moments for her mom. 

Mom wants a Gina Alexander ”my everything” photo bag.  This “your baby as {art}”™ image would be beautiful for one of these luxurious, upscale bags.  Many styles of unique one-of -a-kind photo handbags are  available in the boutique section at Dandelion Wishes® Photography and make the best gifts.  They are awesome to tote around all the things that mommies need to have on hand.  

Be sure to leave some comments for this precious little cherub’s parents and family!

What a precious little princess this infant girl was!  She came into the world three weeks ago at just over 5 lbs.  At her newborn portrait session this week she was still just under 6 lbs… but what a joy she was!  She was so tiny that the cherry hat almost made her disappear. 

Please leave some blog lov’in for the proud parents of this darling little girl in the grey comment box below…

Newborn Baby Photographers to Vienna Virginia ~ { New Baby Sister }

I have been wanting to share this image but had to keep it “under wraps” until Mom & Dad came in from Vienna Virginia for their Investment Session.  They were here yesterday and I told them then that I could not wait to share this ”your baby as { Art }”™ portrait on the blog. 

I adore this image and the emotional connection of it.  This big brother was such a sweet, sweet boy and he was so still and gentle while I got his baby sister in place…he didn’t hardly flinch when he realized that she was tinkling on him!  How awesome is that for a boy of his age??  Well done little Mr. ”B”.  I am so proud of you, dear.  I hope you like this portrait of you and your baby sister as much as your Mom & Dad do!

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!
