Pirates, Vampire Bats, and a Hobbit House | Alexandria, VA Child and Family Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of meeting a super sweet and affectionate little boy and his lovely mother. In nearly every picture I have of them together, he is practically attached to her, nuzzling into her shoulder or pressing his cheek against hers. So sweet. Then again, what could be better than a mother's embrace? 

We spent a beautiful morning wandering through Winkler Botanical Preserve and chatted about all sorts of silly things. Kinda hard to believe that such a calm and cautious boy would be interested in pirates and want to be a vampire bat for Halloween. Perhaps this gentle soul has a darker alter ego ;)

He also enjoyed exploring a small stone structure built right into the side of a hill that has a cute kid-sized door and is only maybe three feet tall on the inside. I have no idea what the purpose is for the structure, but my family has dubbed it the "Hobbit House". Random little play area for little people and their vivid imaginations. Fortunately, no real bats inside the house.

Thank you to the 'K' duo for a fun walk in the woods.

Here is a sneak peak from our session:
