Our Sweet Baby Octavia (aka ‘Tavers’) Is One!!! | Kingman Arizona Baby Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:51:16 +0000

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. :)

Miss Cashlynn | Kingman Arizona Child Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:29:49 +0000

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! :)

Mini Accordians | Kingman Arizona Professional Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 19:15:53 +0000

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!

Beautiful Baby Francesca | Kingman Arizona Baby and Family Photographer

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!

Baby Lucienne Turns One! | Kingman Arizona Baby and Family Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Sun, 30 May 2010 20:18:53 +0000

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. :)

Baby Wyatt | Kingman Arizona Baby Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Mon, 24 May 2010 00:02:49 +0000

Remember this sweet little guy from my Mother’s Day Photo Contest last month? He was photo #19 here. I got to do his session yesterday! He is the sweetest, chubbiest, cutest little bub ever! 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!

Miranda | Kingman Arizona Senior Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:40:59 +0000

I had SO much fun meeting you and your Mom, Miranda! I stayed up LATE last night getting your sneak peek ready…I’m absolutely loving these pictures and hope you do too! And yay for little yellow flowers! ;) Enjoy your sneak peek!

The Desert In Bloom | Kingman Arizona Baby and Child Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Fri, 07 May 2010 18:56:35 +0000

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…

Jay’s Family | Kingman Arizona Family Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Sat, 01 May 2010 02:06:55 +0000

Last weekend, I finally got to shoot my brother in law and his family! I’ll keep this short and sweet…hope you guys like them! Love you! :)

Amanda | Kingman Arizona Senior Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 16:19:49 +0000

Amanda, I’m *loving* how your pictures are coming out! You are such a beautiful, smart gal…I know you will succeed in anything you set out to do! Thank you so much for letting me have the privilege of doing your senior pictures!

Lots more to come, but enjoy your sneak peek for now! :)

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

Adorable Miss A | Kingman Arizona Child Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 17:32:12 +0000

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! :)

The Cowboy’s Pajamas (and More) | Kingman Arizona Child Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:53:52 +0000

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!

Can’t Get Enough of My Secret Oasis | Kingman Arizona Baby Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 17:34:58 +0000

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!

A New ‘Ugly’ Chair! | Kingman Arizona Child Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 06:17:02 +0000

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!

My Adorable Niece & Nephew | Kingman Arizona Children Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:38:36 +0000

My sister and her 2 sweeties came to visit us over Easter weekend. Everyone is having so much fun! Of course, I had to take them out and get some new pictures of them. I’d have to say that complete and total adorableness runs in the family! =)

Mom of 5?!? No Way! | Kingman Arizona Professional Portrait Photographer

Lisa Holloway — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 23:46:40 +0000

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!

JoAnn, I really hope you like these! You look fabulous!!!

Color or b&w? Love ‘em both!
