This couple have many family members living in other parts of the world so we thought they’d like to see a little slideshow of their precious new family member! Had to add some of mom’s maternity session in as well! Enjoy!
Angela Griffith – What a beautiful baby boy!! Love the variety of poses! I would have to buy them all if I were Mom and Dad!!!
Oh my! Just look at this little lion in all his cuteness! What a sleepy little fellow he was too. We had so much fun “playing” with him and his furry friends in this basket. He slept for nearly the entire session which gave us loads of time to capture all the precious details of this newborn stage. Mom and dad are going to be so excited to see them all!
Be sure to “leave some love” for these proud first time parents from Leesburg VA.

What a super sweet couple we had the pleasure of meeting last week. This expecting couple from Leesburg Virginia are due to welcome their little man “very” soon! They squeezed into the schedule just in time to capture some maternity portraits of this amazing time. Doesn’t this mamma have the cutest baby bump??

Dawn – Dear Michelle & Kunal ~ What an absolute pleasure it was meeting you both last week! We are so excited to meet your precious little boy…it’ll be here before you know it! ♥ ♥
Karen – Beautiful picture and I’m dying to know where she got that top!
Dawn – I think it was one of the local dept stores that she mentioned it came from…it’s darling isn’t it??
When this brand new Mom and Dad from Leesburg, Virgina sent me photographs of their “sea” themed nursery my mind wondered to warm, sunny days at the beach! So, we used this bucket from this newborn baby’s nursery, along with some OBX sand and a few gorgeous shells I have here at the studio and ~ voila! We came up with an over-the-top set for this sleepy little beach boy’s portraits! It won’t be long before he’ll be cruz’n the beaches carrying his bucket to collect all the best sea treasures!
Enjoy your sneak peek mom, dad and grandparents!!

Dawn – Dear W family ~ What pure joy it was to meet you and share this wonderful time of your lives with you. I so very much enjoyed meeting little Miss B. Please give her a big hug for me! ♥ ♥
Beth – Beautiful!!
Brandy Maso – Beautiful mommy to be!!!! Great picture!!
Robin – HI BEAUTIFUL PICTURE! WHERE DO YOU FIND THE 2-PIECE TO WEAR FOR THESE PHOTOS???
Dawn – Hello Robin, we custom make all of our maternity wraps for our clients.
This sweet baby boy from the Leesburg Virginia area surprised his mother and father by arriving a bit ahead of schedule. He was so precious and had the softest little head of curls and plump little lips to match ~ perfection! Check out his little sleepy grin – doesn’t that just warm your heart?
Hope his doting family enjoys their sneak peek. Hope your little blessing is letting you get some night time zzzzzzz’s! 

Look at these precious newborn twins from Warrenton Virginia! At two months old, I was concerned that we would not be able to get that “newborn” look that mom really wanted but with persistance and a good pinch of patience, we were able to achieve the “miracle shot” we were looking for!
What a pleasure this little brother & sister where to work with…their mommy, daddy and grandparents are truly “double” blessed. Mom and dad ordered a beautiful gallery wrapped canvas of the second portrait of the twins. We all can’t wait to see it when it arrives…it is going to be amazing in person!

Dawn – Dear W Family ~ Can’t wait to see your canvas art when it arrives…should be soon! Your babies look like little angels! ♥ ♥
Jean W. – Can’t wait to see the finished portrait…..just beautiful pictures of the little ones.
Jessica – OMG they are precious little dolls! Love the pics Dawn!
Beth – These are really really wonderful!!! What adorable little sweeties!
Claire – I love them!! Where did you get those hats?? Too cute.
Dawn – Claire, they carried these at a little local children’s boutique that used to be here in Warrenton.
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!

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!

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…

Christmas fun for the whole family… including the cat!! This Northern Virginia family returned to the studio for some artistic children’s portraits to use in their photo Christmas cards this holiday season. In addition to the really cool shots we got of Master “S” and his favorite furry friend (who is nearly as big as he is!), we captured some fun family Christmas portraits.
Their Christmas cards turned out totally chic and unique… too bad we can’t show you the whole card here. We don’t want to ruin their friends and family’s surprise of receiving their cards in the mail. Though with Christmas just around the corner you won’t have too long to wait to see the finished cards.
Hope you enjoy this little sneak peek. As always, be sure to leave them some blog love……

Beth – What a precious sleeping baby! So peaceful! Love the chubby little cheek on his hand! Great black and white shot!!
The last two weeks have been so very busy! We got back from a family vacation to Hatteras, N.C. Then, my kids’ birthdays were this past weekend. In between studio sessions and editing, I peeked at some of my vacation images. I have quite a few favorite images but this has to be one of the top five! My dear friend joined us for a few days and her girls and my kids played themselves silly each and every day at the beach. It was at the end of one of these days that we all took a walk to the end of our rental home’s private board walk to watch the sunset over the sound. I snapped a few of all of the kids sitting and chatting and then some of just my friend’s two girls. I love the way this one turned out…no need for words…just sisters enjoying the end of a long Summer day.

Beth – I feel so blessed to have this beautiful shot you took of my girls! I can’t thank you enough for that!!! What a great time we had with you guys and what wonderful photos you took while we were there! I’m thrilled to have them to cherish for many years to come.
Lots of love,
Beth
Peter – one can’t help but to love the beach.
The balance in the photo you captured here is just breathtaking or well actually more of a calming nature in the breathtaking way if that makes sense.
I can almost feel the rays
and it sure does make me want to go to the beach.
Our trip took us to the beaches in Denmark but I guess as long as it is a beach there is just something about it
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.
