  • Welcome to MyHolland Blog

    Welcome to my little neck of the internet world.

    This is my personal blog and if you're a client looking for my photography please head on over to my photography website Sierra Kristen Photography!

    We currently reside in Mid-Coast Maine and have been living here our entire lives. I've been married to my soulmate, Dana (but you can call him Dane) for almost 5 years! He has a daughter, Emma, who is 7 years old and lives in Iowa. We talk webcam twice a month with her and travel to the west 1-2 times a year for visits with her. Though we're separated by miles, we still love her dearly and try to make her apart of our family up here in Maine as much as possible! Dane and I currently have a sweet little daughter together, Lila, she's pretty much the cutest, the most unique, happy, lovable, determined baby. We are blessed!

    I'm a lover of....
    Christ. Photography. My family. DIY. Sewing. Dessert making. Traveling. Exploring. Painting. Cheese. Swimming. Ice Skating. My hot husband. Chocolate covered strawberries. Exercise. You got the point right?:)

    Enjoy your stay and come back again!:)

Lila Lou Lou:Patriots Fan

i don’t want to brag, but we got ourselves probably the cutest patriots fan EVER known to man kind:)HA! seriously adorable. i had to bribe her with food to cooperate, because she just woke up from a nap and was moody (just like her momma).

and she even smiled for us! which she’s been doing a lot lately. i just can’t get enough of them:)

i know the patriots are in their second quarter and not doing to well…but we’re not fair weather fans! GO PAT’s!!!

lila’s first patriots super bowl!

meanwhile daddy is on the couch having minor heart attacks. seriously men only get emotional over one thing..and it’s sports..or better yet FOOTBALL! my husband is angry one second, screaming with excitement the next….then completely upset/sad..and then yelling at the TV. hahaha! my dad is EXACTLY the same way! i don’t get it.

and the black stuff under her eyes is mascara. it’s all i had:)

also i plan to do a valentines card with lila at the end of the week. i have to go to the mall for an exchange and maybe an outfit for the shoot! i just want to say that this card will be in your mail boxes after V-day! ha! i’m so late already getting them done. i have an essay due tomorrow (that i haven’t even started yet) and a accounting test (3 hours worth) this week. busy week!

Lila Lou Lou:Independent eating

lila is seeing a speach therapist this week and we will be discussing how lila eats, if she’s doing it the right way or the wrong way. how well her mouth tones work and get her started on my chunkier solids. before every bath, we’re going to let her have full range of the food and will be teaching her how to pick up food and put it in her mouth.

here’s the end result of today’s teaching. EVERYWHERE!

and i understand i posted like 6 blogs in two days. HA! i had a lot of catching up to do i guess:)

today is lila’s first super bowl with the patriots, so i’m sure you’ll see a few images on her and her jersey!

happy sunday!

Projects:Album Making

i’ve been a slacker. i might be a photographer, but i stink at printing and organizing my own pictures. last week i decided to make and print an album for emma and lila. every visit with emma, i make her an album to look back on and remember all our special memories together:) so i’m sending out her album below for valentines day. i have  yet to print any albums of her trips, ugh. it’s not cheap at all. i figured we’ll get emma’s images out to her first and one day i’ll scrap enough money and print all of them for us! i also made an album from lila’s 1st birthday bash. i still need to edit last year images and make a BIG album..before the spring is my goal OR maybe before she’s two! ha!

Work Stuff: For Sale

Canon 5D and Canon 50mm 1.8 Lens.

$800

Or Camera $750 & Lens $50

I used the camera for 1.5 years before purchasing the Canon 5D Mark II. Obviously the camera is no longer for sale at B&H so it’s a little outdated. I used it as a primiary camera for 1.5 years and then a back up (which was hardly used after the 1.5 years). It has a few scratches.

It comes with two batteries. Battery charger. Battery Pack (shown). And maybe the strap, if I can find it.

I would highly suggest sending it away for a good cleaning. But other then that in good working order. I’ll take a picture with it in a few mintues and post it below. Just so you have an idea that it’s working and pictures turn out fine.

Remember folks, FULL frame without the full frame cost.

The funds will go towards another 5D Mark II back up camera. This summer I plan on purchasing the Canon 85mm 1.2 L lens too..eeks! I haven’t purchased a new toy in a long time!

Email me at sierra@sierrakphotography.com if interested.

Test image below. I only made it a bit darker, since i slightly over exposed (not used to the screen!). I have to admit, after using it, the camera feels like better quality then my mark II and it’s so much more quiet too!

Remember (again) there are dust spots on the images, you need to send this away for a cleaning (like any other camera).
