Photographs That Truly Make The Magic of Christmas Come Alive

After my daughter was born in 2019, I was determined to pick my camera back up so I could capture beautiful photographs of our life. We were stuck indoors for most of 2020 and I started a photography project that year because of it. For our 2021 holiday season, I made a list of our favorite traditions and challenged myself to capture them in an artsy way. Then I posted them to Instagram as a countown to Christmas. Here is what I was able to capture!

Cutting The Tree

Decorating The Tree

Drinking Hot Chocolate

Making Cookies

Through The Window

Sleigh Rides

Downtown Tree Lighting

Seeing Santa

Reading Christmas Books

Presents Under The Tree

Holiday Train Ride

Christmas Shopping

Drive Through Lights

This year I hope to recreate old Christmas Movie scenes! What is your favorite Christmas movie?
