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 New Baby Brother

Today I got to meet a sweet new family and capture their newest edition, baby "C". This little guy had lots of hair, was super cute, and had the biggest most adorable cheeks. Big brother was also super cute and just couldn't get enough of the new baby. He even pulled his little chair right up to where I was shooting baby "C" so he could watch everything that was happening. I must say that it was the most precious thing ever!!

Thank you, "F" family, for inviting me into your home and trusting me to document such an important and amazing time for your beautiful family. Here is your sneak peek :)

Waiting On Baby

Last night I had the pleasure of meeting up with my friends, Andrew and Caroline, to document their first pregnancy before baby "C" makes her big arrival in June. I am so excited for them to experience all of the wonderful and amazing firsts that parenthood brings. It is always so great to see a family of two become three ... and to remember back to that same joyous feeling when our first little boy came into this world.

Andrew and Caroline ... Thank you guys for trusting me to capture this special moment for you! I can't wait to meet baby "C"! Here is your sneak peek :)

4 Cute Kiddos

I had the opportunity to meet and capture a new family today at one of my favorite parks. These 4 kiddos were so super cute. When little "O" held her arms out for a hug as I was first meeting this beautiful family I just knew that this session would be wonderful. When the little ones can warm up and feel comfortable around me it always makes for better images. I love all these spring portrait sessions ... it is just such a perfect time of year for family photos!

Thank you "B" family for spending some time with me today and allowing me to capture your sweet family. Here is your sneak peek :)

A Beautiful Spring Family Session

Oh I'm loving this wonderful spring weather ... and it is even more enjoyable when I can capture a beautiful family on a beautiful day. I love that Melissa had her mom and sister join them for the session as well. Photographs are key to preserving memories and I think they become invaluable as time goes by, so I love when families really take advantage of and go all out for their portraits sessions.

B Family ... Thank you guys for trusting me to capture these memories for your gorgeous family. Here is your sneak peek!

An Easter Mini ...

I was so happy to see little "T" today ... just a few months since his newborn portraits. His Mommy (& Nana) wanted to capture a few portraits for Easter and they had some super cute Easter props all ready for us to use. This little cutie just has the most beautiful blue eyes ... just as blue as they were a few months ago ... and they just really popped with all of the Easter pastels :)

Here is a little sneak peek into "T"'s Easter Mini Session ...

Happy Birthday Coop!

My nephew is almost ONE! To document this special and exciting time, my sister Erika asked me to do a cake smash session with Cooper. It was so fun to watch Cooper tear into his cake! He LOVED the cake and kept digging in and shoving in as quick as he could :) Here is a sneak peek into this cutie's first birthday session!
