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 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!

What a wonderful opportunity I had yesterday to meet these two! They are getting ready for a wedding next month and asked if I’d shoot some fun engagement pictures for them. They were a really fun couple, up for, well, most anything. We got some fun stuff both on the UGA North campus and then headed across the street for more fun downtown. Jarrod even sprang for ice cream so I could get some fun Ben and Jerry’s shots (I swear, Ben and Jerry’s should be paying me for these shots!). Here is a preview of their session.

This morning I met up with Carter – the winner of my Fresh Faces, kids, contest. I have to admit, I was a little nervous. My little boy is around Carter’s age and I know what a struggle it can be to get not only decent shots but heck, any shots at all of him!! But I quickly realized that my fears were way unfounded. Carter loves the camera and the camera loves him back! I got a lot of really cute shots of him. Maybe he could come over one day and give Gabe some pointers on sitting still for pictures!!! Carter, I’m really glad you won my contest and I can’t wait to see you again later this year with the rest of your family! Enjoy the previews!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!! Please remember the reason we celebrate!!!!

Also, remember that the digital sale ends tomorrow! It’s for a really great cause!

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!
