This portrait session with adorable little Nathaniel almost didn’t happen. I have temporarily moved to North Carolina, and Amy e-mailed me right after I had moved down. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make it back up to NoVa before a good “make, order, print, and mail” Christmas Card time.
BUT! I made it. We planned to meet at a mutual friend’s house right on the Potomac River. She has a dock, a big yard, and some really fun toys for little Nate to play with. When we booked, it was…70 degrees? But that December day was 35…ish. And windy. And TONS of big clouds moving quickly. Not the conditions I would have ordered if asked.
BUT! Amy, Nate, and little Nathaniel worked it. Amy is due with a new little boy in January and walked around in the grass in heals for 2 hours. I am totally impressed. Nathaniel probably thought we were all crazy. And he reached the point of just saying, “no” to anything we suggested.
BUT! We got some great shots and had a blast… especially after we thawed out.
Amy, you’re beautiful!

This is a beautiful family! Nice shots, Ali! Their joy just shines through.
Beautiful work! Love the first shot, pride of a father is so strong. You captured that.
