Holland Photography The Blog

Oh I was so excited to meet Sam. I have done some sessions with his fun older brother and some of his other family members in the past and was anxiously awaiting his arrival! He definitely didn’t disappoint! He was as good as gold and we got some really sweet shots of him. I can’t wait to watch him and his big bro Jack grow!! Laura and Josh, thank you again for another fun and successful session w/your beautiful family!!

This is Jasmine. She likes horses, cats, dogs, milkshakes (pink ones!) and Backyardigans. She is going to give her mommy and daddy fits one day!! She’s a beautiful little girl, full of spunk! She is going to grow up and break some hearts one day, but until then, she’s happy to hang out in her PINK cowgirl boots and offer up all kinds of sass! Jasmine, I was happy to meet you today and hope to see you again very soon!

Little Heroes are everywhere around us. Some are more obvious than others. Some have no hair – they lost it during chemo. Some hide scars under their shirts from heart surgeries. Some are in wheel chairs. Some prick their fingers after every meal. Some live in your house. In your life. In your heart.

Littlest Heroes is an organization that allows photographers to give a priceless gift to the families of the littlest heroes and to the heroes themselves. They give them the gift of memories. Holland Photography is proud to be a participating photographer in this organization.

LITTLEST HEROES

You can read all about the organization on the website linked above but I am here to announce to you my participation in this worthy organization and encourage anyone out there that knows and loves a little hero to contact them and apply for a littlest heroes session. Holland Photography would be HONORED to photograph your hero!! You do need to apply through the website and state your location as “Athens GA” and you will be more likely to be matched with me. Once you are approved and accepted, we will get together and hold a session, free of charge, featuring your hero. You will receive a min of 10 prints from your session that are yours to keep – again, no charge. Should you apply and for some reason get denied (sadly they are not able to accept all applications due to the sheer number that apply) please contact me directly but please make every effort to apply through the organization first.

Any and all heroes are eligible. Let me help give you something that will last a lifetime. The gift of hope, strength, and courage through the art of photography.

First of all, thank you to everyone that entered! Thank you for directing people to my site and my photography business! I depend on good word of mouth for my business to be successful and I appreciate you helping me get my name out there by participating in my contest.

Again, I apologize, especially to the parents of the “Tots” as there were some issues with the voting and we ended up having to revote that category. I know it was annoying to have to re-ask friends and family to vote again and I appreciate you sticking with me and understanding.

Unfortunately I woke up to an inbox full of spam votes this morning and that forced me to have to call the contest early. I apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused but I want to keep my blog and my facebook safe from possible maliciousness and I want to keep the contest as fair as possible. The winner is the child that was winning the polls before things got so crazy so I feel very confident that the re-vote was fair and just. So without further ado here are your two new Holland Photography Fresh Faces…

I will be contacting you both soon to set up your first session! Congratulations!!!

And congratulations to ALL of the cute fresh faces! You are all winners in my book and I would love to photograph you sometime very soon!

Happy Valentine’s Day from my family to yours! May you find love and happiness today and everyday!!

Remember, the voting ends tonight! Winners will be announced tomorrow! Good luck to everyone!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting tiny Katelyn! You can see her mama’s maternity pictures here.  She was a good model – she didn’t so much care for being naked though. Well, not at all actually! But she was still good and we got some really great shots of her! She’s just 2.5 weeks old and is the tiniest little peanut ever. I’m really excited about getting to watch her grow up!

Don’t forget about the Fresh Faces contest going on now through Feb 14th!!
