Painter Wedding March 2010

I met Sarah through her older brother, Doug. I photographed Doug and Kristen's wedding a couple years ago? (I'm bad with time!) It made me feel so proud to have done Doug and Kristen a good enough job to have the opportunity to photograph Sarah's wedding too! Dan just graduated from chiropractic school--so congratulations on that too, Dr. & Mrs. Painter! Way to go! Their wedding was simple and elegant at the same time with Designs by Judy's blowing us out of the water with their floral talent, again! And I have to mention a special thank you to my "assistant" Chelsea Brown for doing such a great job. She had a tough morning with the loss of her grandmother just moments before we were supposed to arrive at the church and she showed her true colors and her dedication to her job 100% by doing her usual fabulous work all day long. Thank you, Chels. :) Enjoy this preview and check out the rest on my website http://www.hollyfreyphotography.com/ ...online proofs.

Cayne "One Year"

Little Cayne is slighty older than my Kinzie and he is ALL over the place. What a little man he is! I wasn't anxious for Kinzie to walk but after today I can't wait! Cayne is absolutely adorable with the cutest smile and the most "happy go lucky" personality! I can't wait to do this little guy's pictures outside because he's going to be a blast in the great outdoors! :)

Beiswanger Family 2010

What an amazing family! I met Doug through my BNI group--he visited us a little while ago to see if he might join our group and his wife, Sara, called me for some family portraits! This family faced one of the hardest things anyone can go through, the loss of their son, Adam about 17 months ago. My heart and thoughts have been with them since the first time I talked to Sara on the phone. I feel so fortunate that I was able to capture some family moments for them today and I hope these portraits bring smiles to all their faces everytime they view them. Feel some comfort in knowing that perfect strangers have your family in their prayers. Thank you Doug & Sara and I very much look forward to having Jenna back in my studio soon! (Jenna graduates next year!!!) And, Anne--you are a wonderful child and I enjoyed the smiles you brought me today! ;)

Motherhood beauty...9 months!!!

I had the pleasure of photographing Sarah in her ninth month of pregnancy today. She feels great, looks FABULOUS, and is already going to miss her "bump"! What a woman! I think about all the times I probably complained about being tired and uncomfortable with my fifth child and I smile remembering how beautiful it all is despite the discomfort! Sarah--I could truly take your portraits for hours and I want to thank you so much for asking me to capture this important milestone for your family! You are so very blessed and I'm very excited to meet "babygirl #2"! (No name yet!) ;)

Speerbrecker Album....Waiting for approval!

Danielle and Spencer have been together since they were 14 if I remember this correctly! And they have NEVER broken up if I remember that correctly also! For those of us that have been 14-17 years old we all know that is a miracle! (and meant to be.) This was an amazing wedding and I was so touched by Dani's Aunts that gave her the wedding of her dreams. I felt the emotions all day of unconditional love, dedication, loyalty and family. Thank you to everyone that was involved in making this a special day these two awesome people will never forget!
