You know when you are nearing the end of a shoot and it’s going so well and there is the most beautiful light and you just don’t.want.it.to.stop. Lisa Holloway took it up a notch……after finishing up a shoot with her client. They found themeselves in front of an old abandoned house, Lisa’s daughter was there as well so they decided to play dress up (big girl dress up) with Lisa’s Grandmother’s old dresses. She made these dresses herself, and they are over 70 years old; genuine vintage! Danielle was wearing HER Grandmother’s necklace in the photos as well.
They are hauntingly beautiful.
{In February Lens Baby introduced a new lens that Lisa was test driving during this shoot.
It’s a new optic called the Edge 80 that will work with any of their lens bodies
(Composer, Composer Pro, etc). It’s an 80mm f/2.8 flat field of focus
optic, with an internal 12 blade aperture system (aperture range is f/2.8
through f/22). You change aperture like you do with Sweet 35, by rotating
a dial on the front of the optic. The optic itself will give you a tilt
photography look – that is, a slice of focus through your image. The
placement of the slice will depend on which direction you tilt, and the
aperture and the amount of tilt used will affect the size of the slice.}
And of course we know you want to know more about Lisa…..so here we go! And remember if there is anything you are DYING to know write us a note and we’ll make sure to find out for you!!
Why do you shoot? What drives you? What inspires you?
I shoot because I have a deep desire to let my artistic side out once in a while. This gives me something that is mine alone, and doesn’t involve potty training, cooking dinner, or doing dishes. Not that I don’t LOVE doing those things as well (ok, maybe not the dishes so much), but this is filling a gap that I had in my life. I’m inspired by so many things…my children, nature, interesting colors and textures found in urban areas, the love a mother has for her child…
I’m off to San Francisco for spring break and looking forward to some personal shooting!!

These are stunning images! I love Lisa’s work.
Rebecca Baker – Kristian!I remember riedang that your true love (aside from Cody, of course) is SHOES! Mine too. I just love a new pair of heels. I remember seeing a picture of you, I believe on your website, of you in some hot pink heels. I just loved them. I think a great pair of shoes is the perfect accessory to any outfit. So, for your wonderful birthday, I would give you a whole closet full of them! All kinds, ranging from atheletic (nike free’s, my fav), to cowboy boots (an essential for any southern belle), to high heels, to wedges (adorable with jeans), to ballet flats (tory burch, my fav). I would have all different colors to match your wonderful outfits, so you can dress to the nine’s during your shoots. Nothing is more fun than going out on the town with a new pair of kicks Then I would also give you some sweet time with your family. You could take a much needed vacation away from work & life, and just relax with Cody & your family. If it were a real cruise (cross my fingers, yes) I would give you a cruise with all of your favorite country artists performing on it, all week. Sidebar, okay I would LOVE to go on that cruise. Especially if Jason Aldean was singing. So in conclusion, I would give you a closet full of you favorite things (shoes) and a much deserved vacation away with your family. I hope you have an amazing birthday, you are very special in so many ways, and you deserve all that you will recieve on Friday. God bless you, may you grow in Him this year.RebeccaJanuary 24, 2011 4:32 PM
