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!!

Christmas In The Park

Thanksgiving is now over and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!! Trees are being decorated, cities are being lit, and the joy of Christmas is in the air. Today I spent a little time with the "M" family ... Little "R" is such a cutie and I was so happy to capture his precious little personality. I had the opportunity to document this sweet couple's pregnancy around this time last year so it was extra special to see them again this year and to see them with their sweet little boy.

Thank you, M family, for allowing me to spend a little time with you today. Here is a sneak peek for you!








And Baby Makes Three

Today I had the pleasure of meeting a new family who welcomed their first baby girl just 4 days ago. Baby "G" is such a beautiful newborn ... and I love that we just captured her newness and them as a new family of three in such a laid back lifestyle way! It is so wonderful seeing families who have just welcomed their first baby. The love and happiness of that miraculous time in their lives is so evident and contagious ... Such a reminder of just how good God is!

Thank you so much "C" family for inviting me into your home and allowing me to capture your gorgeous family in your magnificent home! Here is a sneak peek into our time today.

Blue Eyed Baby Dolls

Oh my goodness these two little ones have the most beautiful eyes and pinchable cheeks! And I'm not sure a photographer can ask more when the mama shows up with perfectly coordinating outfits ... and a matching blanket!! I always love meeting new families and I certainly enjoyed spending a little time with this very sweet family of 4.

"M" family ... Thank you very much for allowing me the pleasure of capturing your beautiful family! Here is your sneak peek :)

Beautiful "G" Family

I've photographed little "M" since she was a newborn and I just love seeing how much she grows and changes each time I see her. Yesterday afternoon she was talking up a storm and just had so much personality. She was also very into exploring the park - walking up and down the steps, twirling in the grass, and playing in the leaves.

Danielle & Robbie, Thank you both for letting me capture your beautiful family again this year!! Here is a sneak peek into our time together!

Bloom Family

My little sis came over today for a quick mini session to capture her sweet family this fall. My nephew, Cooper, is Mr. Smiley but he is also Mr. Never Sits Still so that obviously kept things exciting :) We even tried giving him a sucker ... which usually does the trick at least for a little bit ... but he wasn't falling for it. E & A - Here is a sneak peek into our morning.












Celebrating Little "T's" First Year!

Precious little "T" is about to turn ONE! This cutie and his big blue eyes will celebrate his first birthday with a plane themed party so we, with great planning by his Mommy and Nana, carried that theme into his birthday portraits. I had such a good time seeing this little guy and capturing his portraits again. His parents and grandparents just love him to pieces and I feel blessed to witness that love!

Zach & Crystal ... Thank you so much for trusting me to document this special and exciting time ... You guys have a perfect little boy :) Here is your sneak peek!

Little E is Turning 3

I'm so excited that the leaves are finally turning their beautiful colors! I was driving to my portrait session tonight and was just in awe at the amazing shades of red and orange ... It was just so super pretty.

This evening I got to see the "C" family to document little "E's" third birthday. This little girl has a smile that you can't help but smile back at ... and everything she says is just the cutest thing ever. I've been photographing her since she was in her mommy's belly, and I've loved watching her grow up these past three years.

Thank you guys for allowing to continue to capture your beautiful family. I really look forward to our sessions each time. Here is a sneak peek into our evening!
