This is a long picture post! I had forgotten that I hadn’t posted about it yet, they were married the first weekend in January, and it’s almost March, that’s how far behind I am on this, oops!
I had a really good time at this wedding, albeit the FREEZING COLD WEATHER! There went all our plans to take pictures outside! It was really just too cold and windy, but thankfully the inside of the church was nice and cozy, full of excitement 
Deborah had such a quiet joy, it was so fun to watch her and be with her while she prepared to get ready to marry her future husband. Ken was almost bubbling over with energy when I first saw him! So despite the frigid temperatures outside, it was such a lovely January wedding!
Here’s a few details:
Deborah getting her hair worked on:
Putting on the dress! Yay!
A quick smooch from mom
I don’t know why, but I love this one of the flower girl, “Come on, guys!!”
I love the glances that the fathers give their daughters as they are walking down the aisle. Deborah is clearly not paying attention to her father, but to her groom. And Dad didn’t take his eyes off his daughter until the reception was over.
First kisses are so fun
Love this one, complete adoration,
Yay! Marriage!
Some quiet time for the bride and groom,
Another favorite of mine The reception was at Maggiano’s in Tysons Corner, one of my favorite restaurants. And let me tell you, the food did not disappoint! And the dessert… mmm….
Because their wedding was so close to Christmas, there were still Christmas trees and lights everywhere! So of course I had to add a little bokeh for their collection
The flower girls were SO CUTE!
First dance -
I like their faces in this one, they seem to have finally relaxed
Yeah, cake!
The faces of the little girls kill me, “please, please, come to me!”
The bride and her girls. Ya gotta have some jump shots!
Thanks, Ken and Deborah for allowing me to be a part of your day! I had so much fun getting to know you and watch you enter into this new phase of your life!

Baby Eva (Northern Virginia Baby Photographer)

She’s finally here! Baby Eva, you have been long awaited in the Payne family that is full of boys Eva is actually Dave and Lauren’s first, but everyone (myself included) thought that Lauren was going to have a boy. Needless to say, Eva was a surprise! And what a cute little surprise she is, take a look for yourself:
oh the baby yawns, they get me every time!
This kid seriously had the best faces! She is definitely her father’s child,
This scale used to be the scale that they weighed Dave’s sister on, I love family stuff that’s handed down like that:
Again with the faces
Dave and Lauren are big missions people and have travelled all over the world. On their last trip to Africa, they picked up a few baskets and Dave thought we should try Eva out in one of them. Let me say, before you see this next picture, that Eva is 10 days old when I took these pictures. Ten. The child had a stronger neck than most 2 month olds that I’ve met! Her head was up for most of the pictures, and she was awake almost the whole session! Dave and Lauren certainly have their work cut out for them!
She was hungry at this point It takes a lot of energy to keep your head up for that long!
Along with baby yawns, baby feet also get me, I mean just look at the cute little piggies
The diaper bag is courtesy of Lauren’s mom, so we had to put it to good use
Thought we’d end with the baby feet ’cause I love them so much!
Dave and Lauren, congratulations to you both! I can’t wait to see baby Eva grow and what she will become. I have no doubt that you two will be the best of parents and that Eva will grow up in a house full of love. Can’t wait to do some family pictures with you all!
