So much of the country got hit with ice storms ove So much of the country got hit with ice storms over the weekend. In fact, my relatives in Portland are still without power. We got ice here too, and while it was tricky getting around outside, the landscape was gorgeous. Tiny little icicles covered everything! Of course I had to bundle up and get outside to capture the stunning detail. And those baby icicles are just the cutest! ************************ #llb_WinterLight #043_Still_Life #tpn_ItsChilly #sharesix_Details #thisdetailedlife #dv_MyView #anw_Frost #iceisnice #christinehalseyphotography #cameramama #rcc_WinterWonderland #ltbd_Winter #weekly_winter2021 #wcm_Texture #p52_StillLife #jj_Florals #jj_justmacro #macro_moms #still_life_nature #jj_still_life #still_life_mood #stilllife_perfection #raw_stilllife #still_life_gallery #9Vaga_StillLife9 #alexandriavirginia #046_Outside #SPSOneADay #shareyourlove_Nature #wcm_Texture #canonmacro100mm
I was photographing something else the other day w I was photographing something else the other day when I turned and saw this sweet moment. Like many pets, our dog Waffles loves looking out the window, especially when other dogs are walking by. She loves every dog, every person, and she even loves our kitties too. Her excitement spills onto us and brings us all so much joy. Waffles is just pure love and we are lucky to have her in our family! *************** #MadeForDocumentary #fms_LoveIs #letthekids #jj_its_kids #ourcandidlife #childrenseemagic #thedeareststoryteller #cameramama #dogsofinstagram #clickinmoms #alexandriadogs #alexandriadogphotographer #alexandriapetphotographer #alexandrialifestylephotographer #documentyourdays #christinehalseyphotography #MadeForDocumentary #pk_Love2 #honestly_AtHome #raw_pets_family #petsandkiddos #womencapturemagic  #raw_hidden_Love #operationpawsforhomes #ophrescuedog
When I’m taking a portrait of a person, I usuall When I’m taking a portrait of a person, I usually want tack sharp focus, at least on their eyes. That is, unless I’m trying to tell another story. But every now and then my camera doesn’t do what I want it to do. That’s what happened here when my camera grabbed focus from the foreground leaves instead of the boy. There are always several blurry images from a photo session and usually I delete them right away. But I didn’t delete this one. There’s something about it that really draws me in. Perhaps it is the boy’s obscurity contrasted with the fact that I can tell he is staring right at me. The blur puts a magical touch on this image and makes it feel like he is one with the tree he is climbing. And that was quite literally the case as the majority of our session was spent climbing trees. He is an amazing climber!!! (BTW - I should start advertising for tree climbing sessions! Most of my sessions seem to involve tree climbing.) Mysterious images are always so intriguing to me, and I like how it took a mistake for me to get in touch with that again. Mistakes can be beautiful learning experiences and they can also help us see things in different ways. Not only are mistakes an essential part of life, but they often turn out better than our best laid plans. This is a reminder to keep putting yourself out there so you can make mistakes. I hope I make a lot of mistakes in 2021! BTW - Swipe to see an in-focus image. Which do you prefer? ************************ #runwildmyclild #honestly_AtHome #womencapturemagic #mom_hub1237 #hoto_thisbeautifullife #cs_Mood #project_faceless #atdiff_faceless #bokeh_addicts #bokeh_bliss #raw_depthoffield #depthobsessed #tv_DepthOfField #dof_addicts #dof_explore #all_bokeh_addiction #cameramama #clickinmoms #christinehalseyphotography #theartofchildhood #treasured_childhood #SPSOneADay #notjustyoureverydayportrait #childrenseemagic #letthekids #jj_its_kids #thedeareststoryteller #_the_imperfectionist_artist #makinglightmagic #amazing_naturalworld
