Backyard Family Jamboree

Backyard Family Jamboree

Alexandria Photographer, Families & Kids, Lifestyle, Pets

I have known this awesome family for years, so I was thrilled when I got to photograph them for the first time right in their backyard.  They have a gorgeous outdoor space surrounded by trees and plant life.  The weather on this early December afternoon was perfect...

Fridays are for dancing! And silhouettes. These ph Fridays are for dancing! And silhouettes. These photos are so fun. When the backlight is too strong, its time to create a silhouette. I love the contrast, the mystery, and the intriguing story that leaves the viewer wondering what really happened in that moment. (SOOC in stories.) This family was the first one I photographed this summer after the quarantine lifted. It felt so good to be out there again at a safe distance after nearly three months. And now that fall is here, I am definitely making up for that lost time behind the camera! **************************** #cm_silhouette #101_Connected #pac_PositiveVibes #fam_Together #christinehalseyphotography #CreateYourStory #color_eliminated #rcc_bnw #mc_bnw #kids_in_bnw #jj_monochromekids #jj_BlackWhite #bnw_artstyle #infinity_bnw #bnw_planet_2020 #rsa_bnw #bnw_captures #bnw_of_our_world #pocket_bnw  #bnwmagic  #shared_bnw_moments #themonochromaticlens  #insta_bnwshots #bnw_souls #bnw_zone #blackandwhiteisworththefight #bnw_fanatics #bnw_greatshots #bnwmaster #bnw_life_shots
Fall is in full swing, but not just for families! Fall is in full swing, but not just for families! Outdoor school photos are alive and well. I’m back photographing some adorable preschoolers this week and I’m loving it! Do you know of a school that isn’t doing photos right now but could use an outdoor lifestyle approach? Send them my way! Or did you know that every family session I take includes individual portraits like these? Both of kids and grownups. So much cuteness!!! **************** #schoolphotos2020 #schoolportraits2020 #womencapturemagic #theartofchildhood #treasured_childhood #candidchildhood #childrenseemagic #lensloveandbeyond #magicofchildhood #my_magical_moments #dearestviewfinder #canonusa #rose_colored_childhood #moments_of_childhood #alexandrialifestylephotographer #alexandrialifestylephotography #christinehalseyphotography #cameramama #clickinmoms #simply_ourlittles #lifestyleschoolphotography #outdoorschoolphotography
Grocery day is like Christmas morning for the kitt Grocery day is like Christmas morning for the kittens. Having several big crunchy paper bags in the house makes for an instant party. While my kids attack the food like they’ve never eaten before, the cats attack the bags until they pass out. It’s a happy day. *********************** And great news for all you reusable bag enthusiasts. Starting Monday, Trader Joe’s (at least the one in Old Town) will now let you bring in your reusable bags again! I may have been a little too excited to hear that news yesterday, but that’s where I am in life. Judge all you want. *********************** Oh - These pictures are actually from July but this is regular occurrence. If I’m only a few months behind in posting photos, I’ll take it! *********************** #ourcandidpetlife #catsofinstagram #rescuecats #rescuecatsofinstagram #ophcatsandkittens #operationpawsforhomes #christinehalseyphotography #alexandriapetphotographer #jj_welovepets #canon5dmarkiv #cameramama #traderjoes #traderjoesbags #traderjoesoldtown #traderjoesoldtownalexandria
These two kiddos are the sweetest! I have been pho These two kiddos are the sweetest! I have been photographing them since they were itty bitty, and they keep getting cuter every year. I am sad that their family is moving out of state but happy that they will be closer to family. Being near family is so important, this year more than ever. Our photo sessions are usually more adventurous but with moving day quickly approaching, this time we squeezed in a mini-session outside their home. I love in-home (or “in-yard”) sessions because families are usually so comfortable in their own stomping grounds. With so many of us spending more time at home these days, it’s a perfect representation of what our lives are like now. I’m fully booked for October, but I have November dates available, whether it’s at your home or anywhere else! Have a great fall weekend everyone! ************************************ #275_Sentimental #p52_Composition #dfp_TellMeAStory #wildandbravelittles #theartofchildhood #treasured_childhood #candidchildhood #childrenseemagic #lensloveandbeyond #magicofchildhood #my_magical_moments #dearestviewfinder #canonusa #rose_colored_childhood #moments_of_childhood #alexandrialifestylephotographer #alexandrialifestylephotography #christinehalseyphotography #cameramama #clickinmoms #joyofediting #editformagic #CreateYourStory #mc_GoldenHour #runwildmychild #cameramama #clickinmoms #clickmagazine #DV_Kindness #documentyourdays #siblingslove #growingupwithsiblings
