Baby Norah (Northern Virginia Baby Photographer)
Sunday, March 20th, 2011
I had the opportunity to photograph the sweetest little baby girl the other day! Her name is Norah and she has the softest, fuzziest hair 
She was quite alert and hungry throughout our entire session (well, besides the first picture), but still a sweetheart.
The proud parents,
A special gift from a friend
I love this moment, it’s one of my favorite pictures from the session. I asked them to sit by the crib with Norah and gave no direction, they simply just sat there adoring their baby girl
Another favorite of mine,
Of course it wouldn’t be an AmandaBryce newborn shoot without the baby feet. Love those wrinkles

Valentines Day (Northern Virginia Family Photographer)
Friday, March 4th, 2011
About a month ago I offered up a few spots for some family Valentines day pictures! I had them all ready to go for blogging before Valentines day, but then realized I couldn’t post them without ruining the surprise. And then I forgot. So here you are today
With my first family, we met up at Frying Pan Park. It was such a beautiful scene there with the red barns and the white snow. But it was SO COLD! We didn’t last very long, but the boys did give me some cute pictures!
I love how he is holding his feet here,
One of my favorites from the day:
Another favorite:
My other session was at the family’s house. Now normally shooting in a house can be difficult for many reasons. Lack of lighting, clutter, etc… this house was great though! We shot upstairs in the bedrooms, which, by the way, are far cuter than any bedroom I’ve ever lived in! The rooms were beautiful and the lighting was great as well! I love the series of the three of them on mom and dad’s bed. The duvet cover is just gorgeous and I totally want the same one for our room!
Snuggles on the bed are always wonderful:
Love
Best props ever!
Seriously, how cute is she?!
I can’t wait for next year to offer this kind of thing again, hopefully I’ll be able to take on more families. It’s been hard with a new baby attached to my person at any given moment of the day! Especially when said baby still won’t take a bottle. Good times.
Next up, spring pictures! The weather is starting to get warmer (well, somewhat!), so if anyone is interested in having some beautiful, relaxed portraits that capture their family let me know soon! We’ll start filling up the calendar

The Girl in the Blue Dress
Sunday, July 18th, 2010
I had about 10 minutes to get this little girl Her name is Eliana and her mom wanted a picture of her in this blue dress (well, her Grandmother wanted a picture of her in this dress). Apparently Eliana’s Grandmother and mother (and sisters?) all got to wear this cute little number. So Eliana was the next obvious choice to wear it when she was born.
The dress is cute and all, but look at those eyelashes!!
And that smirk! HAHA! She was cracking me up

Baby Eva (Northern Virginia Baby Photographer)
Saturday, February 20th, 2010
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!
