ABOUT ME

My name is Holly Neff. I am an aspiring photographer using a Nikon D3000. I am still new to photography and my D-SLR camera, so I do a lot of trial and error as well as learning as I go. Please comment if you like or don't like the pictures, and some constructive criticism is always welcome (just please be nice)!

Portraits

Over the last 6 months, I have been working on my portrait portfolio. I have been so blessed to have so many people willing to help me out with it! I've done individuals, groups, couples, babies, and even a photo shoot for an aspiring model. All of my models have been great and I have really enjoyed working with them! I'll just share some of my favorites!
[Shelby & Brenna]
This was back in the fall, the colors are so bright and vivid!

[Kaitie]
It was freezing this day, but she was a good sport!

[Julie]
Julie has such a pretty, classic look, it was easy to get some really good shot of her!

[Cassy, Autumn, & Tara]
These sisters are so photogenic! McCloud Nature Park in North Salem, IN.

[Amanda]
Amanda is so cute! She was up for anything...


Even though it was about 10 degrees on top of this parking garage!

The Past Few Months...

Well, I haven't been on here since November, but I figure since it has been snowing and icing like crazy here in central Indiana and the whole county has been shut down,  I have some time to get some stuff done. =]

This is what I have been doing in the last few months. 


Contrast

Natural Lighting

Stop Motion

Stop Motion 2

Stop Motion 3

Contrast is something I really like.  It adds something interesting to what is normally a boring object, such as a fire hydrant.  Natural lighting is the absolute best way to take pictures! Everything looks better in natural lighting!! Also, I really enjoyed working with motion. The water pictures were my favorite! Thanks to my hand model/water throw-er Brandon Tschannen! =]

Old Time-y

Brandon and I took a road trip around Fort Wayne, IN this past Halloween weekend.  He wanted to show me some cool parts of Fort Wayne, as well as some of the small surrounding towns.  We made our way out to Hoagland, IN just outside of Fort Wayne, where his step dad's dad lives.  We took a walk around his property and found some very cool, interesting things!

This is probably my favorite! I love old, antique things.

And we made a friend while we were there.  We felt bad for leaving him. =\

Engagement pictures: Katie and Chris

My older sister, Katie is getting married next year! Her and her fiancĂ©e Chris dated for 4 and a half years before they got engaged a year ago. They are the best couple! I am so happy to see them together and getting married!

These two lovebirds are so cute! They are perfect for each other.

They took a lot of really awesome pictures, and some goofy ones as well.


...and look at that bling!

Happy couple <3

Fountain Square

My first few experiences at Fountain Square were with some friends going to swing dance at the Fountain Square Theater. 
It wasn't until my next trip to Fountain Square that I realized how beautiful and historic Fountain Square really was.  I ended up driving there with a group of people from my new media class for a group project.  While we were there, I took some time to take pictures of the area.  We ended up using some of these in our presentation.
If you haven't been to the area yet, I strongly encourage a trip there.  There are a couple cafes, dinners, and family-owned restaurants that are worth checking out!

Bristol


            This is my dog, Bristol.  She's a 10 month old Malteese-Poodle mix.






 

Bristol, or sometimes we call her our "Beetle Bug" is my best model. She loves having her picture taken, even though it doesn't really seem like it sometimes.
