My photo
Welcome to my blog - where I can share my personal life and my photography! I am married to the most wonderful man and I have an amazing little boy who lights up my every moment. I have always loved taking pictures but over the past few years it has really become a more serious passion. I think one of the most fun things about taking someone's picture is being able to CAPTURE that particular moment in time so that it can be held onto forever! I prefer natural light, on location photography that allows people to just be themselves. If you are interested in contacting me regarding photography please send me an email to holly@simplycapturedphotographybyhollybenfield.com Oh yeah, and I'd love to hear what you think ... so feel free to leave comments at the end of my blog posts. God Bless!!

A Visit to the Christmas Tree Farm

We took a spontaneous trip to the Blowing Rock/Boone area to a "Choose and Cut" Christmas Tree Farm where we found the perfect tree and established the perfect tradition! Here are just a couple of pictures of Wyatt at the farm. I'll post pics of the decorated tree soon.



And here's a little sneak peek at the quick and fun photo shoot I did of Wyatt for our Christmas Cards - I'll post more once our cards have been mailed out.

Happy 1 Year Birthday Collin!, Gastonia Children's Photographer, Gastonia Family Photographer

Here is Part 1 of Collin's One Year Portrait Session. I've been photographing him since he was 2 months old and I can't believe he will be celebrating his first birthday in less than a month. There will be more to come but for now I hope you enjoy taking a sneak peek at these beautiful blue eyes!

Emily Senior Portraits Part 3, Gastonia Senior Photographer, Belmont Senior Photographer

Okay ... 3 blog posts may be a little much but I always post my favorites as I edit and I've done some more editing in the last couple of nights and I had two more I just had to post :)

Oh yeah, that is a logo you now see on the pics!! Thanks to my wonderful husband for designing me a big girl logo - I guess I'm official now .... If only I could figure out how to make it work as my blog header. Does anyone know how to customize on blogger?? Leave a comment and let me know what you all think of the new logo!

Emily: Senior Portraits, Gastonia Senior Photographer, Belmont Senior Photographer

Emily is a senior at Belmont Abbey College so we headed over to the beautiful campus to take her senior portraits. I could have taken pictures of her all day long ... she is just gorgeous and is comfortable in front of the camera so that is the perfect combination.

Are you a high school or college graduating senior? If you want me to capture this milestone for you just shoot an email to simplycaptured@hotmail.com

Emily, here is Part One of your sneak peek ... There will definitely be more to come.
