Gorgeous work as always Lisa. You do a fabulous job with giving the family such variety…fun vibrant colors, soft colors, dramatic lighting, soft lighting….you are fabulous!

I got some seriously CUTE knit hats and cocoons from Flower Girl Designs (check out her shop!) and it was finally warm enough outside in my garage to do a test run with one of the hats yesterday!  My little gal is SO full of personality!  I love all her little faces!

Lisa posted the following on March 4, 2010 at 7:22 pm.

Absolutely precious, Lisa! I love seeing all of her little expressions–one is cuter than the next! :)

~sharon posted the following on March 5, 2010 at 4:46 am.

I agree, each expression just gets cuter! I think my favorite is #3 or maybe 4. The hat pulled down a litte lower, those lips, that look in her eyes…that’s what’s nice about #3.

Lisa, you are so fortunate to be capturing such memorable photos of your family. What a treasure.

I love these updates!

Amanda Williams posted the following on March 5, 2010 at 3:44 pm.

I always tell my daughter: “If you were any cuter then you would explode” and all I have to say about your precious little girl is nothing but the same….If she were any cuter she would explode :) hehe Wonderful and amazing work as always :)

Beira posted the following on March 8, 2010 at 11:27 pm.

How adorable! The second to last is too cute.

Calista celebrated her 11th birthday just a few weeks ago, so I decided that we needed to do a fun urban shoot for her 11 year old pictures (as if I don’t have tons of pictures of my girl already). lol  I really wanted to incorporate some fun colors and try some new locations out…and I love how these came out!  Can’t believe how grown up she is looking!

Going for a Twilight look here…something different!

And because life isn’t all serious, my favorites from out session…these are definitely her!

One last shot to add…this was taken in a dry lake bed near our town that had actually flooded with all of the rain we’ve been having.  Love the sense of solitude from this one.  As a side note, this cost me $5 and a large bag of skittles…I mean really, who wants to lay in the mud in a sundress in February?  She’s SUCH a good sport!

Rebecca posted the following on March 1, 2010 at 7:07 pm.

LOVE these! I think you got a perfect mix of shots for you and shots for her. :) I think my favorites are the crazy faces!

amazing!! your daughter is gorgeous! i love the fun ones the best!!! but that last one is really stunning.

First off, let me say that I deleted and re-typed Kingman BABY Photographer and Kingman CHILD Photographer several times before settling on ‘child’…my little girl is growing up!  *sniff* She’ll be 2 in June, and is such a sweetheart!  I’ve been wanting to take some new photographs of her lately, but keep putting it off as she’s at SUCH a tough age.  She generally likes to run away and look at anything but the camera. :)  Today I decided to take her out and try to get a few shots…whatever she was up for.  It was pretty cold and windy, so this was short, but I think I got a few cute pictures of my sweet girl. :)  Most of these feature ‘Puppy’ aka her teddy bear that we thought was a puppy when she first got it, but by the time we realized it was a bear, she had already named it ‘Puppy’…and let me tell you, they are literally attached at the hip. :)

Lina posted the following on March 1, 2010 at 6:29 pm.

oh wow, she is growing up! I love your nature locations, so lucky!

I’m just popping in to let you all know that gift certificates are now available through ljholloway photography!  I can’t think of a gift that would be treasured more or last longer than custom photographs of your loved ones.  Please contact me for details! =)

Ok, so I admit it. I pestered Mom just a little bit.  :) I emailed her back in January asking if she’d had her baby yet. I emailed her again about a week ago asking her if she’d had her baby. I *knew* this was going to be a beautiful baby and I wanted to be the one to take her first portraits. :) I definitely wasn’t disappointed…little Gabriella is more beautiful than words can describe…the perfect sweet new baby girl. You guys are so very lucky…she is absolutely precious! Thank you so much for letting me do her first pictures for you! I hope you guys love these as much as I do! Enjoy your sneak peek! <3

Lisa, these are so insanely beautiful – the baby and your photography. I especially love the one where she’s laying on the black background facing the light – the skin flaking off her feet is the kind of detail a mother wants to remember from those first few days of life. LOVE THEM!

I’ve been doing these shots since Octavia was a newborn.  It’s so fun for me to see her growth throughout this series!  The earlier pictures in the series can be seen HERE.  She is so full of personality!

And totally off topic, but I wanted to share this one while I’m posting too.  I had a Victorian style white dress made for Calista…I have some really neat ideas that incorporate this dress into my work that I want to try out.  I took it out for a quick test run the other day, and can’t wait to do more!

Wonderful views here!

Love, Adrienne

I first met little Lexi when she was about 2 months old.  We got a very cute shot of her with her 2 big brothers that day!  This time, it was all about Lexi!  She’s now 4 months old and the most adorable little red head you have ever seen.  She has an infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes.

I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!  I had so much fun seeing you again!  Give Lexi a hug for me…she is such a sweet girl! <3

Firstly, I must include the shot of all 3 cuties together…because I love it!  You can see how much these boys love their new sister!

And now for Miss Lexi’s 4 month pictures. :)

Look at her sitting at just 4 months old!  I’ve had 8 kids of my own, and *I’m* impressed with this!

Yesterday, I took out one of my not-so-photographed children for a few pictures.  He was actually requesting them…and who am I to say no to a kid asking to have his picture taken? :P

This is Theron, my newly turned 7 year old.  These 2 photos speak of his personality so well to me.

Oh WOW!! Absolutely magnificent!! Love the expressions you caught and the emotions that just speak to you through the photos

Hello
I think those are very emotional photographs and that first photograph shows that he is serious..You have done a good job by taking these pictures…I appreciate you.Thanks.

We’re just coming out of one long, dark, rainy week, so now that things have brightened up, I decided to do a little bit of studio work. :)

The first I call ‘Sister Bond’…I think the love speaks for itself!

The next one is Miss C…she’s got the serious look down to a fine art!

And the black & white version (because I can’t pick a favorite)…

gorgeous. i love the last one in B&W.

I’ve been wanting to get Clint out there for some pictures, but I’m usually met with some pretty stiff protest.  So…I whipped out my mommy bribery (a 2 hour computer turn) and finally got my way.  I’m so glad I did!  I don’t get him in front of my camera too often, and that’s unfortunate…definitely something to work on in the new year!

Here is my oldest, Clint.  He’ll be 13 this coming summer. :)

I can’t decide whether I prefer the color or the b&w of this next shot, so I’m posting them both here. haha

Shannon Stuno posted the following on January 29, 2010 at 6:52 pm.

So handsome! These are awesome!

Are you guys getting sick of seeing Octavia yet?  I like to  keep my skills in tune during the slow season, and she’s still immobile, so she’ll probably be making a lot of appearances here this winter!  I got a new ‘floor’ for my studio work and had to test it out today.  I really like it so far!  Who would know that it’s a giant rubber mat?

And a pullback for my photographer friends!  One day, I would *love* to have a real natural light studio, but for now, I’m thankful that I get excellent light in my garage.  Whatever works, right? Anyways, this was my setup for the above shots!  Sorry for the lack of a cute smiling baby, but she had had enough by the time I thought to take this.  She’d had enough by the time I thought throwing cool dried leaves all over the floor would look cool too…darn it!

Coming back to this one to add just *one* more…I drug her out again today because the leaf shot was eluding me! Haha!  She’s such a good girl, it was COLD and windy today, and not one complaint out of her!  Just more smiles!

Tiffany posted the following on January 14, 2010 at 4:09 am.

Oh, she’s just darling. Love that b&w conversion. I’ve had my eye on that mat – glad you’re enjoing it!

tamsen posted the following on January 14, 2010 at 1:41 pm.

Oh my goodness, what an adorable baby girl!!

Your shots are just incredible.

Amanda posted the following on January 15, 2010 at 6:31 am.

Isn’t that why photographers have kids…to be our models? :) It helps that she is too cute. I love the mat. Quick question if you don’t mind helping out another photographer. Which direction does your garage door face?

Thank you guys! :) Amanda, I had to ask my husband, (I’m directionally challenged), but he says the garage faces East. HTH!

Kimberly posted the following on February 26, 2010 at 4:59 am.

Beautiful! Love seeing your studio from this angle. I too am curious where you were able to find that matt? We live not far from the beach and I am ALWAYS dragging my kids there to take pictures on the boardwalk!

I’ve been taking these shots of Octavia in Daddy’s hands since she was a wee little 13 day old newborn.  I’ve been trying to do them at semi-regular intervals to show her growth and changes.  It’s *amazing* to me how a new baby changes their first year of life.  I hope these photos help document that in Octavia!

13 days young…

4 months old…

And today at 6 1/2 months old.  She’s getting so big!  Daddy’s just happy he didn’t get peed on. lol

Johanna posted the following on January 12, 2010 at 6:39 am.

Hello
Wow that first photograph is an Awesome and I think that is a precious moment.In second photograph her eyes look so beautiful..Thank you..

This is ‘Part 2′ to the photos I posted the other day of Miss Octavia.  I wanted to get some more of her, but we can only do a few minutes of shooting at a time.  It is cold in my garage, even by Arizona’s standards!

First, a few black and white goodies.  Isn’t she sweet? <3

Look at the big girl!  She can only do it for short periods of time before she topples, but we’re making progress!

And this is just a silly outtake, but I couldn’t resist saving it.  No babies were harmed during the taking of these photos.  You have my word! :P

Bri posted the following on January 10, 2010 at 3:02 am.

Ok, wow your work is blowing me away! I started and the top and just drooled all way down your blog. This last shot is just divine! Well, and so were all the others. :) Great work!

I’ve been so busy with the holidays, kids, and client sessions that I really haven’t had much time to do a ‘real’ session with my own baby who is changing at a rather alarming rate these days!  I had intended to do some nice photos of her in honor of her turning 6 months, but missed that boat by a few weeks.  So here she is, at six and a HALF (yes, the half is very important! lol) months old.  This was still a mini-session for all intents and purposes, but I’m happy with the pictures that I got.  They really show her personality!

These ’studio’ pictures were actually taken in my rather cold garage!  No fear, I threw the blanket in the dryer for a good 10 minutes before doing this, and she was happy as can be!  I think I took pics for a grand total of about 1-2 minutes before we whisked her back inside.  It’s January, even in Arizona, that’s cold on little bare baby buns!

Her little laugh here cracks me up!  I adore this picture, because it is *so* her!

IMG_5745SFW5x7Crop

Color?  Or B&W?  Well, I like both, well enough to post both. :P

IMG_5738SFW5x7Crop#2

IMG_5738B&WSFW5x7Crop#2

These next 2 were taken out at one of my new favorite places to shoot…a local orchard!  The owner was kind enough to give me permission to use it whenever I want, and I plan to make good use of it!  99% of the trees out there are completely barren right now, but can you believe, that in January, I was still able to find some fall colors?  Only in Arizona, I’m tellin’ ya!

Toni, I had an absolute blast with you guys today!  Not only are you drop dead gorgeous (makes my job EASY!), but you were so much fun to work with.  I am having the hardest time narrowing these pictures down, and hence, you are getting a rather large sneak peek.  I hope you love these, and I can’t wait to finish up the rest of them for you guys!  Thank you SO much for letting me do your senior pictures!
