Happy Holidays!!

2011-12-20T21:01:00.000-08:00

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas & a safe & Happy New Year! One of my NYR's is going to be to post more pictures more often, but here are some faves from some of my recent winter sessions :)

fall babies & more!

2011-10-18T19:17:00.000-07:00

I've really been neglecting my blog, but here are some random pictures that I like from that past few weeks!

End of summer..

2011-09-06T19:38:00.000-07:00

Here is a peak of just some of my end of summer sessions! Also, a few people have already contacted me about the family mini sessions. I have 4 spots left for Saturday Oct. 8th, so message me for details if you're interested. I was also thinking it would be fun to have a pet mini session day, so if anyone would be interested in that, let me know :) p.s. aren't all of these babies so stinkin CUTE?!

a little peak..

2011-07-27T08:06:00.000-07:00

.. at what I've been doing this summer! So far I've been keeping really busy with the babies along with a few other sessions that were booked a while back. So, I'm thinking that after the summer, I will continue just booking babies & maternity as long as they continue to keep me busy. But, I am thinking of doing some family/child mini sessions this fall. I haven't figured out all the details yet, but I'll let you know when I do! Some other great news is that my pictures will finally be hung up in the hospital! We're going to start with 13 16x20's in one of the hallways in the maternity ward & go from there. I'm so excited & will definitely post pictures of that once they're up! I hope everyone is having a great summer! xoxo ~H

BABIES BABIES BABIES...

2011-06-09T22:11:00.000-07:00

I'm going on a little vacation tomorrow, so thought I'd leave you with some cute & very talented babies =) Thanks to my hubby for making this little bird a nest last minuet!

Summer scheduling

2011-05-20T19:18:00.000-07:00

I just want to let everyone know that I will only be scheduling babies & maternity for the summer. If we have already talked or you have a gift certificate, this does not apply. There are many reasons for this.. no child care for the summer, possible foot/ankle surgery & I need to make sure I have time for my family AND all the BABIES!! Sorry for any inconvenience. I hope you all have a great summer! ~Hollie

Last week..

2011-05-14T12:23:00.000-07:00

..I had some super cute kids, a couple a perfect bellies & a sweet 1 wk old.. quick sneak peak :)

Catching up!

2011-05-02T19:25:00.000-07:00

I've been neglecting my blog, so here is a peek at what I've been up to over the last few weeks :)

Happy Easter everyone!

2011-04-21T23:04:00.000-07:00

A little bit of everything :)

2011-03-14T17:18:00.000-07:00

Here is a big post for ya, since I haven't been keeping up. This month so far & a few faves that I missed last month..

And Mine ♥

So many BABIES!!!

2011-02-19T22:59:00.000-08:00

The past couple weeks have been full of newborns! Most of them less than 10 days old.. I've been loving it! Here are some faves :)

More mamas & babies!

2011-01-30T19:56:00.000-08:00

Here are a couple faves from this week. I had sick kids this week, so my newborn sessions were done on location rather than in my studio, which worked out good cause I got to do this sweet saddle shot! I also got my new camera again this week! I had problems with the first one, so I had to send it back a few weeks ago. So far so good with the new one! All set for all my Febuary babies :)

Hot Yoga mama :)

Some recent faves..

2011-01-23T22:41:00.000-08:00

I LOVE these first 2 from my Santa Rosa sessions.. so sweet

6 month olds!!

2011-01-11T21:52:00.000-08:00

6 month olds are so much fun & I had 3 of them over this past week! If you can't make it in for newborn pictures (in the first 1-3 weeks), the next best time is this age.. so cute!

How funny is this one!? I enhanced it a little ;)

(hat made by my sister in law http://www.izzyhats.blogspot.com/ )

Big kids are fun too :)

1st newborns of the year!

2011-01-03T21:33:00.000-08:00

Too busy to blog lately..

2010-11-08T12:10:00.000-08:00

Senior!

2010-10-24T17:22:00.000-07:00

Fall & overcast.. my favorite for a senior session!

18 months!

2010-10-23T23:51:00.000-07:00

I love watching my babies grow! Here is one of my best models now at 18 months. He first came to see me at 6 months, then at 1 yr. such a handsome little guy.. & fast! I had a good time chasing him around the vineyard =)

1 Year

6 months

2010-10-17T23:03:00.000-07:00

How cute are these kids!?

2010-10-17T22:51:00.000-07:00

I love this first one! I prefer shots like this to forced smiles.

Booking up fast!

2010-10-15T17:26:00.000-07:00

Due to the holidays, I am booking up way faster than I ever expected! There are only 8 non-newborn sessions left before Christmas. Also, if you are expecting, please let me know so I can reserve your spot.
Thank you,
Hollie

Urban Kids

2010-10-02T06:42:00.000-07:00

This is my style when it comes to photographing children. I like rustic locations & this brick building is an old fave! & I'm always on the look out for new spots like this old barn! Sneak peak at my last couple sessions!

"1"

2010-09-23T17:00:00.000-07:00

Cute cute cute!

2010-09-23T16:46:00.000-07:00

Isn't she stunning?!

2010-09-11T09:56:00.000-07:00

I love this age! So chubby & happy!

Santa Rosa Sessions

2010-09-01T07:07:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple shots from an interesting shoot I had at an industrial winery in Santa Rosa last week. This first little guy came to see me when he was just 1 week old, now at 5 months, he's so cute & chubby =)

More babes & bellies!

2010-08-16T21:36:00.000-07:00

Some faves from this past weeks sessions.. love this first one!

How cute is this one?!!

2010-08-10T16:59:00.000-07:00

Not too bad for a crawler! I think her mom may have a hard time picking out her pictures.. the camera loves her & she looked so good in all my props!

3 babies & a big sister..

2010-08-10T16:44:00.000-07:00

Here is a little preview of last weeks sessions.. I just love this curly little peanut!

I'm back..

2010-08-05T09:36:00.000-07:00

..from vacation! The past couple of weeks were amazing! I even got to meet up with an old friend for a photo shoot. I especially like this first one of her daughter, what a doll! Here's your sneak peak buddy =)

My 1st wedding!!

2010-07-18T16:40:00.000-07:00

Alright, here it is, a sneak peak at my 1st wedding! A beautiful wedding & a beautiful couple! I only got the bride & groom alone for a minuet, but I'm real happy with what we got. Congratulations to you both! Thanx for having me! I learned a lot & I wish you all the best!

2010-07-07T22:46:00.000-07:00

BIG blog post!!

2010-06-28T07:51:00.000-07:00

Since I usually only post a couple pics from each session & have the client galleries locked, I thought I should do a big post. So, here's my faves from yesterdays session with this 11 yr old & her almost 2 yr old lil brother. Usually 2 yr olds & horses are tough subjects for me, but I think I got some good ones =) I haven't shot many big kids, so big sister was a lot of fun for me, even if she wasn't as into it as I was ;) Thanx for being patient.. it paid off!

bottoms up??

2010-06-25T22:53:00.000-07:00

Or down? I think up =)

Cute 4 week old!

Before & after..

2010-06-23T17:05:00.000-07:00

Recently I have had a couple people ask what comes with the sitting, so I thought I should do a before and after.. that way when I answer "hours of editing", you'll know what I'm talking about =) The first one is straight out of the camera.

2 1/2 day old blondie!!

2010-06-19T09:04:00.000-07:00

We've got a poser!!!

2010-06-17T23:18:00.000-07:00

This chubby 6 day old baby girl was so good to me today! Here are a few faves! I'm real excited about getting this first pose =)

Before & after..

2010-06-10T23:07:00.000-07:00

2010-04-16T18:50:00.000-07:00

I LOVE this little guy..

2010-01-24T00:58:00.000-08:00

..even though he pooped on me today ;) He's pretty much the CUTEST 9 day old ever & this first one is my new favorite! I had a lot of fun at your house today buddies & once again.. Congrats, he's perfect!

Great job on the hats Nono!!

A couple more..

2010-01-15T08:35:00.000-08:00

Got so many good ones of this guy, had to post a couple more!

OMG 6 day old!!

2010-01-13T16:53:00.000-08:00

This perfect little 6 day old was so sleepy for me today! THIS is why I recommend bringing your baby in during the 1st 10 days of life! You can book your session before your baby is even born!

Daddy's girl..

2010-01-12T17:08:00.000-08:00

born on Christmas day & such a sweetie! Here's a little sneak peak for ya & I'll get the rest edited asap.

I was so excited to photograph this little one today & she actually didn't mind me at all. Maybe we can do it again in a few days!! =)

One more!

2010-01-08T09:36:00.000-08:00

I love this one! Would look good as a 16x20 canvas!
