Its funny, I just got back in town last night so I still havent seen your card, BUT I did visit Brittany and I saw your card on her mantle…funny isnt it? I love that you are loved all over. Anyway your family is beautiful. You and Haven look so serious and Jace and Jax look like they are up to something. :) I miss you!

We literally did this shoot in the 20 degree weather in about 5 minutes. Will is a wrestler at OU and is in the middle of wrestling season and Stevie was a cheerleader at OU and is now a med student so these two are extremely busy. We didnt quite catch the weather in time...

This is Will’s mom and we are looking at the pics with tears in our eyes!! They are beautiful!!! Love you Will and Stevie!!!

admin - Hi Stevie!
I told you Will would warm up! Most grooms do after a bit! ha ha. Maybe he felt better about taking pics since he knew it would only be 5 minutes and he was in his element in the gym! You guys are awesome and I cant wait for your wedding! Thank you for commenting!!!

Stevie Freeman - Holli! Thank you so much for meeting us and getting some quick shots for save-the-dates! We cannot explain how happy we are with our pictures….they are so much more that we could have ever expected!! We had such a blast doing them! We cannot wait for the wedding either! I have no idea how you did it…but Will cannot wait to take more pics at our wedding and our spring shoot! He had so much fun and is so happy with the pics that he cannot wait to take more…I never thought I could get him excited about pictures! So thank you!! Have an amazing Christmas and God Bless!

Alright, I definitely need some comments on this post…. I am in the process of updating all of my pics on my website and need everyones advice. Would you rather see photos from a couple of weddings (like 3) to show the entire day or would you rather see just my faves from a lot...

Thank you for the kind compliment! I would love to take some “engagement but we are married” photos for you someday!

jordyn - Katelyn Webb/Kendrick is my friend that you photographed. Loved all of her pictures! I wish I would have known about you for my wedding!

admin - HI Laura! I cant wait to meet you and Luke this spring!
December 26, 2008 - 11:32 pm
Cassie - i think you should do a good variety of different Brides, you can show them the whole day in your consultation.
December 23, 2008 - 10:39 pm
jan schill - i like to see the faves! i like to see the range of different things you do at any given a wedding or shoot. the details that you catch that make what you do special and unique! blessings, js
December 20, 2008 - 1:09 pm
Luke - Hey Holli! I am looking forward to you taking me and Laura’s engagements sometime this spring and for our wedding in April that is coming up very fast. Looking forward to meeting you. Happy Holidays and Boomer Sooner

Stacie Boyd - Hey friend! I think you should do a combo of your faves from many weddings and then maybe you could show a majority of one wedding’s pictures in a “featured wedding” area or something. Just a thought but like everyone else you know how much I love looking at your work! And NO, your blog is awesome so don’t think for one second you are wasting time w/ it! Love you!
December 17, 2008 - 12:24 am
Ann Z - Hey Holli!
I like the idea of having both. I know when I first started looking for a photographer it helped to see the whole wedding from start to finish, but also to see your favorites. Whatever you decide I’m sure it will look great! I love checking your blog to see what you’ve been up to! Your work is always AMAZING!!! If you can make Shane smile and have a good time taking pictures then you have to be good! haha… Can’t wait to shoot bridals and then the WEDDING!!!
P.s. your family Christmas card is too cute!
Merry Christmas!

Jessica Shipley - Hey Holli!
I like to see your faves of lots of weddings because I like the ones that you pick! lol I let you pick out every single picture in my guest book for my wedding so I trust your judgment obviously! and I will not refer to myself as a stocker…I will call my self a silent shadowy admirer :-) Thanks for everything!

Tina Shepherd - Hi Holly. I too have been a website stalker for awhile now! I’m sorry, I just love your work! I think you should post your favorites, but I am always happy to see anything you do. I know you are trying to de-stress, but I hope that doesn’t involve this blog! Hope you have a wonderful holiday! Tina

My only rule when you cant sleep is that you comment. At least on your own post down there! You are my favorite family to photograph because you will let me do ANYTHING and trust me completely and they always turn out so fun. Thanks sweet friend!

admin - Hi Kattie! It is so good to hear you say that! When I asked you to take a pic by the run down truck I didnt know it would end up as one of my favorites! I love the beauty of you in your dress standing next to a 100 year old truck-so cool. I love that pic! Your wedding was fabulous so you saying that I was your favorite wedding “find” is SUCH a compliment :) You are great.

hillary - first time poster! i love your blog… keep up the good work. your kids ARE cute and your photos are beautiful. i vote favorites from a bunch of different weddings :)
December 16, 2008 - 1:59 am
Misty Landreth - Just letting you know that I am looking at your blog…your blog is one of the websites I look at when I can’t sleep at night!
December 16, 2008 - 1:53 am
Mikalalala - I want to see everything…is that selfish? I like seeing many many cool pictures. I think all of a few weddings is nice for a few days but to get the true understanding of who HolliB photography is and is all about I think less of more is best. Coming from someone who would eat you if I had to…dont forget that.
December 15, 2008 - 5:37 pm
jordyn - I guess I’m just joining the club of being a “stalker”! You photographed one of my friends wedding this past summer and I’ve been “addicted” to your work ever since! God has blessed you with an amazing talent! I think it would be great to put all of your faves up. Let people know what your truly passionate about what they can expect from you. Keep posting, I love to look at what you have done!
December 15, 2008 - 3:55 pm
kattie webb - Hey Holli! So I am a frequent stalker of your site and have never left a comment. Not even on my own pics! So sad! I just thought I would throw my two cents in about what you should post on your site. I think you should go for your faves from all your shoots. You have such an awesome style and eye for finding the perfect shot, that your favorite pics, I know, would leave everyone in awe! There is not a week that goes by that someone doesn’t compliment me on my wedding pictures and I get to share with them my favorite wedding find! You did and amazing job. God has truly blessed you with a gift. Thanks again for all your hard work on our pics. Oh, and your kids are cute! Merry Christmas!

admin - Julie Towery! How the heck are you guys? How are your sweet girls? You should let me photograph them the next time you are in town. Remember how much my son loved your girls? Where are you guys now? I am so glad you check my blog. Who knew?
Talk soon!

admin - Morgan! I would have been disappointed if you didnt comment because you have come out in to the open about being a “stalker”…. ha ha. I think I am going to do both again on the galleries. I think having a lot of images from one wedding helps see how I capture the day unfold but I also know that a lot of brides get ideas from weddings I shoot and so having a lot of my faves helps too. Thanks for the comment! Your wedding was amazing and was so fun to be a part of!

Julie Towery - Hi Holli!!
This is Julie Towery,(Micah and Kristen’s friend) I hope you don’t think I’m crazy but probably the last year I’ve been checking your blog because I think you’re such a fantastic photographer!!! I love seeing all the shots you get and I just love photgraphy in general!!
Please Please keep blogging!!! You do a wonderful job and yes your kids are GORGEOUS!!!! Have a great day and can’t wait to see more of your work!!

Morgan - Hi Holli! Thought I would finally comment since I am quite the stalker as well! I agree with the second person about you doing a little of both! The way your website is now really helped me realize that you were the perfect photog for our day! Thanks again for an amazing job! Can’t wait to work with you on our album!
December 15, 2008 - 12:28 am
Kayleigh - Hello! I get on your site almost everyday to see if you have added any new events, I absolutely love your work and and think that you are extremely talented. I can’t wait to get married, so that I can have you photograph it. I think that you should put a few of your favorites from a lot of weddings, rather than an entire wedding. Keep up the good work, I enjoy looking at your pics!
December 14, 2008 - 10:10 pm
admin - HI Kim!
Thank you for the comment! It is so hard to decide on what to do with my new galleries! I AM going to post bridals- I have had lots of inquiries for that.
How are your first married holidays going? I hope you and Gerron are doing awesome! Merry Christmas! Talk with you soon!

admin - Hi Rachel! Thank you for not being a lurker anymore! I actually do sessions for people ALL the time that have been married for awhile but didnt get the pics they wanted from their wedding or maybe they just want newer ones. I call them my “married-engagement” shoots! Nice to “meet” you. You should comment more- really lets be friends!

Kimberly (Cave) Smith - Hi Holli! Being a frequent stocker of your blog (I must admit), I think you should sort of do a combo of both. I think you should have an arrangement of different couples on your engagement tab and wedding tab. For awhile you had a tab for bridals but my computer would never pull anything up on it so I wasn’t sure if you had pics uploaded or not but I definitely think you should have that tab too with an assortment of different brides. Then like how you have highlighted certain couples with their own tabs, keep doing that with two or three or however many you choose but rotate them out monthly or whenever so we can see from start to finish of weddings that we only get to see a small portion of in your blog. Those are just my suggestions! I hope you have a blessed Christmas and hope you are enjoying your new house! God bless your amazing talent!
P.S. You should put pics up of your new home and office so we can see!
December 14, 2008 - 9:41 pm
rachel - hi! I guess I will no longer be a lurker. My vote is to see your fav’s from the weddings rather than lots of pics from just a few pics.
You are very talented and I wish I could get married again so you could take my pics!

Marc and Chase are the sweetest children of my best friend from high school. I do their pics every year. They came out for a red couch photo shoot this year and my kids made silly faces at them to make them smile.
