Life is about doing what you Love!

You know my photography started with sports, so I love when I get the opportunity to photograph someone doing their sport.   I have never photographed horseback riding or hockey.  But had the pleasure this fall to do both.  These pictures are of a brother and sister doing their sport.  Their Mom contacted me in the fall about her wonderful idea to capture pictures of her children doing their sport as a gift for her husband for Christmas.  I know her husband loved his Christmas gift because each child's love for what they did came out in every picture.  I cannot even describe in words what a wonderful experience I had watching these children as they do what they love and capturing that love and joy for their sport on camera.  Every time I see these pictures I smile because this is why I started my photography business and where my heart is - and that is to capture a moment  that shows who you are, tells your story by bringing out the very best in you and capturing it in a way that you will cherish forever.





Getting Caught up

Still working on going back and adding some more pictures from the shoots that I did before Christmas.  I have been using my downtime (defined as: not photographing - because I really don't have any "downtime") to study, ready and learn more about the technology and the business.  So I am working on getting the flow down, but for now there might be some late posts to the website/facebook, but I am working on getting everything updated and going back to update some photos.  LOVE these photos.




You will love these pictures.  I posted Dad and Baby in the Fall, but this is the whole family and some of my favorite shots.  There is nothing like family photos in the fall.  We had a blast taking these and enjoying each others company.

The New Look of Holly Hodges Photogaphy

I finally finished all the paperwork (taxes - yuck!) on my desk and my last monster photography project, so I am ready to face the new year.  So, my first project is to update my blog and my website.  I have so many sessions that I haven't even shared with you yet and I need to refresh the look of my website.  To begin the "refresh" project, I started with my logo.  So, here is the new look of Holly Hodges Photography.  I will be working on and  rolling out all the "new" in the next couple of week.  I think this must be the start of spring fever - cleaning up and ready for the new growth of Spring time.
