Polly, I mean Holly. What can I say to you. How can I tell you how much I LOVE you?? Ok, Ok, introductions first.

Everyone, this is my pal Holly. Fellow fashion, photography, music, blog stalking, and anything vintage lover. She shared this with me in one of her very first emails and I knew I was in love. Well, actually I had an idea from the get-go when she told me she had been searching and searching area blogs for the right photographer, and she just knew we were it. We talked and talked about outfits and ideas, and she was just so willing to roll with it. I just adore her personality, and I was SOOO looking forward to her session. When the day came everything worked out perfectly. We had so much fun walking around, chatting, getting espresso and tiramisu, that literally it was like, “Oh NO the sun is setting!! We need to take more photos!!”

So, without further adieu, here is the EVER SO GORGEOUS Holly-Shmolly. (My new nickname for you. Please add to the list.)

We had the most beautiful day to work with!

stunning!!

:) You make me smile.

Holly and her best friend Corinne, whom I think you will be seeing more of on the blog. :)

Smokin’. How fitting by the fire station :

Holly, you look like a movie star from the 1930’s. So beautiful.

Work it girl!

Then she pulled out her guitar. That was like the icing on the cake. :)

The “other Jess” and I love this shot of you Holly. :)

Can anyone say new banner for our blog??? Yeah.

Holly has been waiting and waiting for her blog post. She has been ever so patient. (Thanks girl!) Thanks to her beautiful mother who stood back and just watched us all play, with such love in her eyes for her little girl. :) And lastly thanks to my buddy Jess for helping me out on this shoot when Brett couldn’t make it…you were a gem.

LOVE to you HOLLY!!!!!

My precious, precious niece. She has been checking the blog diligently for the past couple weeks, because well, frankly I made her wait just like everyone else. Bad Aunt! She yelled at me Thursday night about her photos…but it just so happened she was next in line. :)

We had a lot of fun going around and exploring new territory together. Lately I find that I am really enjoying finding new locations on the fly, just being completely spontaneous. This is completely unlike me but I found myself inspired by the fabulous Brianna Graham. She said that she prefers not to check out her locations ahead of time because then she has no expectations or preconceived ideas about lighting conditions, where it will fall, etc. Some of my most favorite sessions lately are ones where I just start driving and stop when I feel like something looks right. We found some super rad locations doing this. We also found some scary locations doing this, but we hurried and moved on.

Kate, you are so stinkin’ adorable. This is when all those people were outside watching us like you were a celebrity or something.

LOOOOVVVEE this shot!!!!

I see me. :)

Ok, this shot- something about Kate’s shadow makes me all giddy like a little kid. Doesn’t it look like Peter Pan’s shadow??

Oh…good times. good times.

Love YOU.
