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!!

Class of 2018!

" You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go ..." Dr. Seuss Oh, The Places You'll Go.

Senior Portraits are so fun to capture! I love meeting boys and girls on the verge of a new beginning ... so ready to start the rest of their lives yet still a bit timid about the thought of it all. I remember those days well ... I remember the excitement and the worry. For Morgan, all of this hits very close to home as she will be graduating this spring. I loved spending a little time with her and her mom yesterday evening and I felt honored to capture her senior portraits for her.

K Family ... Thank you for choosing me to document this special time for you ... Here is your sneak peek!

A Week New

2 years ago I captured little "K" when he was just a few days new ... I've since photographed his one year portraits and his parents' sweet wedding. Today I got to meet his new baby sister, newborn baby "P". Little "P" came into the world last Friday ... She is so beautiful and has a head of hair! And the cutest thing of all was how little "K" just wanted to kiss his baby sister on the forehead over and over. He was just so proud and so in love.

Thank you guys so much for continuing to trust me to capture your growing family! I know baby "P" wasn't too keen on our little photo shoot today :) but I think we were able to capture a few sweet memories! Here is a sneak peek ...

S + J, Married!

Stacie and Josh united their love for each other and their love for golf with a beautiful golf club wedding ceremony! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and all of the colors that Stacie chose were just perfect next to the golf course backdrop. The large wedding party was such a close knit group ... you could really feel the love they all had for S & J. The two flower girls were just gorgeous and had the sweetest little personalities. The sweet ceremony ended with a kiss and the release of butterflies.

Thank you, Stacie and Josh, for allowing me the opportunity to capture your big day! Here is a super long sneak peek!

Two Great Families

Yesterday evening I met up with one of my favorite clients. The "S" family has had me at their home several times this year capturing their little ones so they asked if they could share their session with some friends from their neighborhood. I was so excited to meet a new family and to capture their family ... especially when they told me that these would be their first family portraits in a few years. We ended up with a great double session. 4 cute kiddos always make for a good portrait session :) Add in a beautiful dog ... and perfection!

Thank you all for a wonderful evening! Here is your sneak peek!
