~Lisa Holloway
I can’t believe how fast this year has flown by. This time last year I was holding my newborn daughter in my arms, and now I have a little girl, full of personality, smiles, and love. My life wouldn’t be complete without her. <3 She has brought so much joy to our family, and we love her more than words can say.
Here are some (ok, a LOT) of our baby girl’s 1 year portraits. :)
I got to photograph the beautiful Cashlynn yesterday…she is seriously one of the most gorgeous little gals I’ve ever seen! She definitely gave us a run for our money, but I think we got some great results here. I hope you guys like these, and I’ll get the rest of them finished up this week! :)
These are just beautiful Lisa! Love them all, but some of them are just over-the-top awesome (#2 and 6 for example). What an amazing shoot!

Beautiful Lisa! Great captures!
Beautiful work, Lisa. You are an amazing photographer!
She’s a beauty! I can’t even pick a favorite… great work!
A quick disclaimer, I am most definitely *not* a product photographer. Ok, now that that’s out of the way, I wanted to share a fun product with you. These are mini accordian albums, and I seriously can’t get enough of them! They are not only a great way for me to thank my clients for their business (I LOVE you guys!) but they are also a great way to spread the word about ljholloway photography. Who wouldn’t want to show these off? They are small enough to keep in your purse, and showcase your favorite photos from your session!
These minis are GORGEOUS! They complement your incredible images soo, soo, soooooo well!
I think you did pretty well as a product photographer :) Love these!
These are cool!
very cute!!
Love them!
Thank you again….This was the neatest gift. I absolutley loved it!!
Love it! Very cute. Where did you get the cute little bag for them?
LOVE mini accordians!!
I love these! You did a great job photographing them!
Are you kidding? Your product photography is great! Well, all your work is beyond awesome, so I’m not suprised. The minis look great!
This past weekend, I had the chance to photograph another of my Mother’s Day Photo contest babies…this little gal was the #1 winner of my contest! She is photo #3 here. It was so fun meeting you guys and little ‘Poop’…she is a doll!
Beautiful baby, gorgeous photos!!

oh my goodness, she was loud, wasn’t she? Adorable little girl, and your captures are so fresh. Love the last shot – timeless!
I love this baby! What a total sweetie pie. Your session is gorgeous!
I can honestly say that these are some of my absolute favorite clients. Baby Lucienne was one of my very first sessions in my photography career…I photographed her as a newborn and as a 6 month old. I was blessed to photograph her again yesterday, at 14 months old. She keeps getting more and more beautiful, and is the sweetest, smartest little girl ever. She can speak French, I kid you not!
Dino and Ronne, thank you SO much for coming to me again and trusting me with your precious little girl’s photos. I love all of you and hope you enjoy your sneak peek! I’ll get the rest of them finished up this week for you. :)
I just adore your work…so inspirational! :)
Wow these are all awazing, especially the woodsy location. The lighting was amazing!
These are amazing! I love the ones in the woods with the light streaming down…..and the ones on the white chair with the pink dress are so fun!
So angelic – gorgeous!
OMG, these are just amazingly beautiful! ? them all.
I love these and all your work. I want to purchase some of these please!
Signed, Lucienne’s Lolli (Dino’s mom)

Thank you so much for bringing him my way…he really brightened my day. :) I’m having the hardest time narrowing these pictures down…there are SO many cute ones! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, and I’ll finish the rest up asap!
BTW, turquoise is my favorite color! You will see it pop up in my work quite often! :) This chair used to be Calista’s desk chair. She and Damien painted it for me before my session yesterday…I have the *best* kids! :)
If this doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will!
He’s gorgeous – love those chubby legs! Beautiful photos and love the sparkle in his eyes.
Beautiful session Lisa! He is one ADORABLE baby! I love the locations you used and as always, your lighting and color is divine!

stunning photos! the locations are so great. love the one of her laying down in the field. her eyes are incredible in all of these. beeeeeeeutiful!
Would you believe that these were taken in the deserts of Northern Arizona? One of my favorite things about photography is stalking out new, beautiful locations, and this is one that I’m sure will only look this way for a fleeting time.
We’re always battling with Millie’s hair…it’s in a half grown out and VERY fuzzy state right now, but for these photos, I just went with it. I let the wind do it’s thing, and let it fall where it fell, down over her eyes, sticking straight up…whatever! This is how we see her 90% of the time, so why not?
My sweet, serious girl…
One of Tavers for good measure…
Oh my word, Lisa…you have hit the jackpot with this shoot! WOWZA! The rest of the words just left me….speechless…truly speechless. We are going to get to AZ someday and you are going to make us some awesome family portraits!
Wow, awesome location! I wish I could find locations like that up my way in Maryland for my photo shoots!!
WOW! You are amazing!!! Just popping in to say hi. I can’t believe you found this spot..would never ever guessed it is in AZ. Great job!!!
Super, super beautiful work! I can’t believe how reflective her eyes were!
Wow! These are divine! And those catchlights are triple wow!

And while we were at the above location…we had quite the experience! I was backing up to take these photos, when suddenly I heard a loud, irate rattling sound right next to me. I looked down, and I kid you not, there sat a coiled western diamondback rattlesnake angry as all get out about 1 foot form where I was standing….I think I about had a heart attack! As any good photographer would do, I slowly backed away, and then took his picture. Seriously. :P It was seriously underexposed and suffered from a fair amount of camera shake (hey, can you blame me?) but I got his mug none the less!
Oh…and while I’m on here, check out the FRONT PAGE of the Kingman Daily Miner’s Sunday paper today! CLICK HERE

I wanted to share a few quick snaps of my friend Lorissa’s little gal that I took at WPPI this year. She has the most infectious smile and beautiful blue eyes! Lorissa, sorry it has taken me so long to get these up. I take WAY more pictures than I can edit, and I think I have a serious case of editing ADHD. Ahhh…anyways, I hope you like these! It was great seeing you guys again! :)
I’d say she is cute, but then again…
Lovely, Thanks
adorable!! agree she has an amazing smile!!
Precious shots! Love you B&W conversions!
Just beautiful, Lisa! Great work as usual! I love your BW conversions.
She is too cute! Love your conversions and clarity- you rock Lisa!
Such a cutie pie!
What a cutie pie, LOVE that first one!
This is one of those adorable pieces of childhood you will want to remember as your child grows up. This is my 3 year old, Adrian. He’s on a big cowboy kick lately. Every morning, he puts on his jeans, western shirt, cowboy hat, belt, and boots. And yes, he *must* wear it to bed too. I HAD to get a picture of Adrian’s bedtime ensemble….it is SO cute. And makes for some seriously great blackmail down the road. :)
Isn’t that SO boy? I love it!!
Ok, so in my title I mentioned ‘more’…well, that more would be that I *finally* joined the dark side and made the switch from a jpeg shooter to a RAW shooter (you photogs will understand). I think it’s going to take some getting used to, but I’m hooked! I had (ok, more like bribed and paid) Calista to do a quick session with me to get some RAW files to play around with. These are my first ones!
The pictures of Adrian are just precious!! Little boys do the cutest things, don’t they? Of course, the ones of Calista are stunning as always.
Gorgeous job!!! I too am newly addicted to RAW!! If only the files weren’t so darn HUGE!!!
Um, WHAT???!!!!??? You just switched to RAW?? Once again, truly blown away by your amazing work and your little cowboy is just the sweetest!
HAHA, that is too cute…I’m sure you can use it down the road….my parents had some pretty hilarious blackmail pics of my brother that we still like to dig up once in a while.
Beautiful images of Calista, and yay for RAW!!
Just a stalker here :) piping into say GOOD FOR YOU! You’ll LOVE RAW!! So much detail and extra info. Keep it up!
love your little cowboy!!! and your daughter is stunning!!!
Gorgeous!! Beautiful! I love your work!
I only ever shoot in RAW. Even when I shot with my XTi.
Love, love, love RAW!!
you are right. the ones of adrian you will want to remember them forever. he will get out of it one day and you will be so happy you got it to remember! boys come up with the greatest outfits! and calista has such a “dark” gorgeous look to her. she is beautiful! i can’t even stand it! and welcome to the dark side. once you get your flow you will never return!
There you go again.. pulling that string that attaches to my mouth leaving it hanging open. :)
PS. Welcome to the raw world! I can’t wait to see more!
She is gorgeous!Color her eyes is beautiful!
These are stunning as usual. Your son is adorable and your daughter is unbelievably beautiful. And yay for switching to raw! It will take your already amazing images and make them even better :).
WHattt?!! You haven’t been shooting raw?! I’m amazed!
Your work is simply gorgeous!! Wow!
Lisa, you are so incredibly blessed to have such gorgeous children and such a wonderful gioft to be abel to capture them so well :) Those ones of the undies are priceless!!
waouh what’s really wonderfull, i love your work. Congratulations
Those pictures of your son in his cowboy getup and undies are so stinking cute.
That last photo of your daughter is AH-MAZING. Seriously. Those eyes? Stunning!
Stunning!
I seriously can’t get enough of this place! I’m showing my Pacific Northwest roots here, being raised in Washington state…I LOVE the green! These were taken in the ‘golden hour’, or rather, the ‘golden minutes’ (literally just minutes before the sun dipped below the horizon). Loving this sweet light! And my sweet girl of course! :)
There are actually THREE of these old soda crates stacked up. The grass is so thick and long that you can only see 2 of them. Loving this little piece of heaven!
Love these Lisa. That location is amazing!
Gorgeous!!
Beautiful as always. Your sweet baby girl and your photography!
you certainly found a perfect spot!! love those pop crates!!! and of course little girl is adorable!!!
Adorable!
I love those boxes. Agree the spot is perfect.
Precious! I love that field and the old coke crates. Your daughter is so sweet!
She is adorable!! I love those old crates, what a cute idea!
Sigh, I love these. The bokeh is to die for, and she makes the most adorable expressions!
So cute!!!
Gorgeous light and baby, love these pictures !
I love these… The sun is perfect and what a beautful baby.
So sweet!
oh I ilove the expression on these. gorgeous in every way!
These are magical.
I think I have an addiction to ugly old chairs! My husband’s garage is slowly (ok, maybe NOT so slowly) turning into a gigantic storage space for all of my props. Whatever the case, I found this lovely piece for a STEAL at just $35! Seriously, the more ‘ugly’, bold crazy colors, chipped up multi-layered paint wrecks the better. You know, something with character. :)
Anyways, I do believe I’ve located the only patch of green for hundreds of miles. And I’m serious! I’ve driven all over looking and this. is. it.
Anyways, I had to test out my new ugly chair in my secret little oasis in the Mohave desert. Modeling like a good model is my beautiful daughter. :)
Oh, and stay tuned! I will be announcing a fun contest soon that will win you a free session fee and other goodies!
I had to throw this one in too…loving her baby blues!
what a bargain! I love it! the colour looks fantastic in contrast with the green grass,i think you did a great job grabbing that chair for your props!
and your daughter is stunning!
That’s a lovely old chair. I would probably put it in my house – in my living room of mismatched furniture :D Your daughter is a great model! Beautiful shots!
i love those chairs!! :D this one looks really cool too, and what a bargain! :D
must be nice to have such a lovely daughter modelling for you… she looks beautifull :)
love these photo’s! <3
Great chair and an awesome model as always! LOVE that location!! You always find the best places to shoot.

I have to agree that complete adorableness runs in your family! Great shots, Lisa!
Too cute!! I just love that 6th one down of them together, adorable captures!
My favorite is the last one..it looks like an old roll of film. That needs to go into an art gallery or something! It is beautiful (well they all are beautiful). I’m sure your sister is so grateful for your talent. Great job!!!
Gorgeous work as usual! I LOVE all your conversions and your colors are just fabulous!
Yep, I said 5 kids! Doesn’t she look AMAZING? This is my good friend JoAnn…we went to my new favorite spot the other day and had so much fun!

OH WOW!!!!!!!!! You bought my crib!!!! I sold it to Brandon at Boston Antiques about 2 months ago! I have been following your photography and blog for quite some time now, even share it with friends, and I am SO SO SO happy you have this, and are putting it to awesome use! It was really hard to get rid of it – my mom had it when I was a little girl, and gave it to me when I got older. I needed the money and the space, and he gave me a *fair* price, really for what it is materially worth, but I would have wanted more for the emotional worth, and this really makes up for it!!! Thank you so much!!! You made my day!!! Now I can see it whenever I want!!!
