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!!

Here Comes Baby

Babies must be in the air this summer with so many maternity and newborn sessions!! I love it because what could be better than capturing anxious parents-to-be awaiting their little bundle of joy, and then of course its so wonderful to be apart of a baby's first few days here in this great little world. I had the pleasure of meeting up with Adam and Carrie this evening ... and did I mention that it was 1000 degrees outside? Despite the heat Carrie and Adam were so great and I had a lot of fun photographing their session ... they were just a really fun couple to be around!

Here is a super long sneak peek!! I can't wait to meet your baby girl in just a few short weeks and capture all of her perfect newness!

Welcome to the World Baby "C"

Ohh the sweet look of a three day old baby!! I was thrilled to capture Baby "C" and all of his newness at his newborn session. It seems like yesterday we were making arrangements for his big sister's newborn session ... wow how time flies. I've been blessed to photograph this family several times now and they are truly a joy to be around!! I must say that Big Sis "A" and Baby "C" are very blessed to have such a wonderful & loving family.

Here is a sneak peek at Baby "C"s newborn portraits!

Prom 2015: Josie & Lathan

My niece Josie and her boyfriend Lathan are probably dancing away at their junior prom at this very moment ... and I hope they are having the time of their lives! I had the great pleasure of doing a mini prom photo session before they headed off to their dinner reservations. Josie looked amazingly gorgeous, of course ... and Lathan didn't look to shabby either :) They are such a cute couple!

First ... a look back at their 8th grade prom ...



And now a super long sneak peek from today ...
