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!!

Sweet 16

I headed out to Belmont tonight to capture Elisabeth for her "sweet 16" portraits. Elisabeth will be 16 in just a couple of weeks and I am so glad I was able to help her celebrate with a photo session.

Elisabeth, you are so photogenic and were just a natural in front of the camera! Thank you for a fun evening!!!

Here is your sneak peek ... I hope you love them!

Beautiful "B" Family

This past Sunday afternoon I met up with the B Family ... after a rainout on Saturday we couldn't have custom ordered a better evening to hold a portrait session. And what could be better than gorgeous weather? - a beautiful, fun family!!

Thank you B Family for allowing me the opportunity to capture your family! Here is your sneak peek!!!

Rock The Shot Challenge: Laughter

When I saw that Rock The Shot's September Challenge theme was laughter I immediately thought of this image ... laughter from a child is laughter/happiness in its purest form! In this image, Wyatt was laughing at his Daddy - I'm not exactly sure what was going on behind me but whatever it was Wyatt was loving it (as did I since I love to capture genuine smiles).

Allie is ONE!!

After two reschedules due to rain I was finally able to meet up with the "V" family to capture Allie for her first birthday! The weather was absolutely perfect and the light was gorgeous - creating lots of pretty haze and fun sun flares. Allie is so precious and was such a trooper through her session ... smiling and clapping - much different from her newborn session where she just wasn't quite sure about being stripped down to her diaper for some stranger to take her picture :) You can see her newborn session here and here.

Heather and Andrew, Thank you guys for allowing me the pleasure to capture your beautiful family ... it always means a lot when someone calls for a second session!! Allie is such a cutie and I had a great time with you guys.

(Allie's Mommy, Heather, made the awesome "Happy Birthday" banner and amazing smash cake ... so crafty and a photographer's dream!)

Here is your super long sneak peek ... I just have too many favorites :)

Wyatt is THREE!!!

I can't believe my baby boy turned three last Saturday! It amazes me how quickly time flies by and how quickly life grows and changes. Wyatt is such a sweet little boy - loving to cuddle, hug, and kiss and telling us daily that he "love us more" (which is totally impossible). He is so excited to be a big brother and often asks to kiss Sawyer or to talk to him - which he does through my belly button :) I took Wyatt out to capture this exciting new stage in his life. Photographing a three year old isn't the easiest task but he really did a good job and was just his sweet self (bribing him with a trip to get donuts probably didn't hurt)

Here is my angel!!
