Holland Photography The Blog

I had a wonderful time with Samantha and her mom this weekend in downtown Athens! She wanted pics by the “Phoneix” mural so we headed that way and found tons of neat nooks and crannies all along the way! We made good use of dumpsters (see below) and stinky (well, not the stinkiest) alleys and abandoned parking lots! We really had a blast and got some awesome shots in the process!! Sam, I really enjoyed meeting you and your mom and hope you love your pics!

I guess we “could” have borrowed a bathroom but this is WAY more creative for clothes changes at your session (and now I know it’s here!)

Best wishes for an AWESOME senior year!!

I have been looking forward to this session for several weeks now – for many different reasons! Cherie contacted me and reminded me that our families used to go “muddin” (and “snowin” I think!) together in the mountains in our jeeps when we were younger. She mentioned that her kids were very young the last time they did family pics so she wanted some of those but she also wanted some shots of her teenaged children and as much as I love babies and toddles, teenagers are tons of fun to work with!! Here is a shot of their beautiful family all together:

And the beautiful kids:

Madison:

And Lane, who is a senior this year at North Oconee High School. I will admit, I was a little worried about what I was going to do w/a senior guy at Founder’s Gardens, but I think everything turned out A-OK. What do you think?

Thank you guys for braving the heat and the dreaded Founder’s Gardens’ mosquitoes!!! I really enjoyed it and hope you did too!!

I knew I’d have a hard time deciding which of these to preview. And there are still a ton of beautiful shots just waiting for a few minor tweaks. No wonder, when you have such a beautiful model to work with!! Rachel wanted some shots w/her car so we met up at the downtown parking deck to have some fun with that. After taking a few out and around town a thunderstorm drove us back to the deck where we had even more fun! Rachel, you look awesome in these! Hope you guys like the previews!

Meet Karley! She is my 2010/2011 Senior Spokes Model for Oglethorpe County High School! We met up at the Founder’s Gardens yesterday evening to shoot her 1st session. We’ll have some fun in the studio later this summer. I’ve known Karley her whole life (man, that makes me feel old!) and was honored to shoot her Senior pics!! If you are an Oglethorpe County High School junior or if you just know Karley, ask her for a rep card that will give you some great discounts when you hold your senior session with me!

And reigning Miss Marigold!

Heather was the winner of the Winterville Marigold Pageant this year in the “Miss” category. Heather did an awesome job in the pageant and as you can see, she is beautiful (both inside and out) and was a very deserving winner. We got together yesterday for some fun “County” style shots. Heather also happens to be a Junior this year so I decided to do some “Senior Style” stuff for her session. If you are a 2011 grad, I’d love the honor to do your senior pictures!!

Heather, it was a lot of fun! You truly are beautiful and I hope you enjoy the preview!

I would like to personally wish each and every one of you a VERY Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2010!! Thank you for all you have done for my business in 2009. It’s your happiness and joy over the ways I have captured your memories that keeps me going and I am truly blessed to have clients/friends/blog readers like you!! May God bless you! From my family…

To yours…

SEE YOU IN 2010!!!!

I had a wonderful time with Joseph and his mom this afternoon, roaming around downtown Athens. He is such a great guy. So laid back,  easy going, and handsome too (am I allowed to say that?!?). I had a really hard time picking which pictures to show off because we got SO many good ones! Joseph and Debi, I had a GREAT time with you tonight and I really appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to do this for you! I can’t wait to show you the whole gallery! And shout out to Allison for the referral! Thank you girl! I’ll have to remember to throw you in a nice little something after your session in Nov!

One for the future album cover:

Actually, I think any of them would make a great album cover so when you make it big time, let me know and I’ll hook you up!
