Holland Photography The Blog

Tonight I had a great time with Greyson and his mommy and daddy at Founder’s Gardens. He is getting SO big, crawling all over and getting very close to walking too (look out mama and daddy!). I love the shots I got of him, I have been going through and I think I have all of the ones I want to preview, then I find another and think “aw, that is too cute” and pick it too!! I somehow narrowed it down to 5 but his mommy and daddy will most likely be getting plenty way more than that to pick from in the next week or so!!! I had a great time you guys and hope you all cooled off and that the mosquitoes didn’t do too much damage!!

The kids all tell me they LOVE to shoot at Founder’s! Something about the free snacks…

Maggie Beth just blows my mind. You can read a little about her rough start here.  But to see her now, at 10 months and 15 lbs, jumping and bouncing and smiling, you’d NEVER know how her early days played out unless you knew her!! She’s amazing and sweet as she can be! And beautiful too! Jill, John, you guys are blessed – but you already knew that, a thousand times over!! Thanks for trusting me with your pictures of your sweet girl! It’s an honor!

Sweet Kalyn was the winner of the tots division of my recent Fresh Faces Contest. And a sweet fresh face she has! She’s 7 months old and learning how to sit up and she’s getting some teeth too! She is apparently a very serious baby or either she doesn’t get my jokes (probably she doesn’t get my jokes) but it doesn’t matter if she is smiling or not, she is simply adorable and a deserving winner of the contest!

In addition to this session, she will get $100 print credit, a fun goodie bag, and a 2nd session she can use later this year and include her mommy and daddy (if she wants to!). Congrats Kalyn!

So you remember Harper right? Well tonight she decided to add in some of her family members for pictures! I’ve known these folks for a long time and it was great to get to see them again tonight! We had a great time taking pics at their house (well, Harper might not totally agree about the “great time” part as there was this little “reindeer outfit incident…”). I think they make a nice looking group actually and of course Harper is aa cute as can be! I LOVE her hair and her chub-ness. She is too too sweet!! Here are a few previews for you guys! Hope you like them!

If this happens to be your yard… well, thank you for letting us borrow your pretty trees…

Tonight I was blessed to meet sweet Avery and her sweet mommy. What a wonderfully laid back and happy baby she is! We changed her clothes, pushed her past her supper time, fed her to the mosquitoes (seriously people, what’s up with those on the 1st of Nov??) and she didn’t so much as whimper. What an awesome baby! Her mama is truly blessed to have such a sweet and beautiful little girl. I hope you guys like the sneak peek! She is way too precious!!

And a shout out to Rebecca at The Natural Baby in Watkinsville. Avery’s mommy saw my work there and looked me up. Thank you again for letting me have my display in your store!

You may remember Brock and all his cuteness from his newborn pics? Well he sure has changed in the last 6 months! Still adorable as can be though, with those big beautiful blue eyes! And one big chunk of utter cuteness!!

Look at him filling this bucket to the rim!

I featured Nate in my Mother’s Day post when I did his 1st session at 7 weeks, the weekend of Mother’s Day. He’s changed so much in the last three months! Growing like a little weed!! He’s been working hard on his sittin up skillz and he’s almost got it too. I imagine next time I see him, I will get a workout from chasing him all over the place! Here is a quick preview of the cuteness that is Nate!

On my way to this session I was thinking about the fact that I get to watch babies and kids grow being one of my favorite things about my job. It’s fun to see them go from that newborn, sleepy stage, to sitting up and crawling, to walking and smashing cakes… it’s just neat to see their transformations. I shot Ian while he was still hanging out in his mommy’s tummy and again at 6ish weeks. He has grown so much since then! I was sad when his parents informed me that they are soon moving to Texas – I will miss them a lot! But I was very thankful for the fact that I got to see him one last time before he leaves! Isn’t he the cutest?? Best of luck to you guys with your move! I hope you enjoy your previews!
