  • 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!:)

In Pictures:Jeep Time

05.07.12

lila got some walker time today! of course it’s not as cool as the one i ordered for her..it’s purple and will be arriving in a month or so! she knows how to push back in it..so cute to watch her!

miss lila has been under the weather lately:( between her seizure a few days ago (and if you didn’t already know, seizures can take a HUGE toll on people and their energy levels for a day or two after) and this horrid teething process..she hasn’t been wanting to do much but snuggle or sleep! she did muster enough energy to sit in her jeep though..so darn adorable!

In Pictures:The Park…Again.

05.06.12

dane has been begging me to bring lila back to cedar works–since he hasn’t been there yet. so last night, in between lila’s grumpy moods, we took her there. i’m not sure why, but my family has been really inspiring me lately in the photography form. if i could get paid to photograph them all day-every day, i WOULD (along with my clients of course)!

lila’s been looking more like a toddler these days..seriously!

and we start off our photo journey’s with my husbands amazing smile! one of his best features..i know it sounds so cliche, but it’s really true!

i’m sure i’ll more photo’s to share of this weekends adventures! now to update lila’s album:)

oh and i wanted to add-lila has been learning about her tongue lately and when she smiles-she sticks it out! hahaha! this doesn’t surprise me considering dane and emma do something similar!

it’s a jackson thing i guess..hahaha!

God: No Mistakes

05.04.12

i saw this..and totally thought of my lila lou lou. God is so good, so amazing, so wonderful. his creativity with lila (and humans in general) seize to amaze me every day! i hope one day, when lila grows up, she’ll realize that her imperfections are to be celebrated, embraced, and to praise and thank God for…because he doesn’t make mistakes, ever.

“You are made in the image of God. You are a child, created to be known, seen, and connected to. Your physical body is to be celebrated, enjoyed, reflecting the complexity of your Creator. You are a wondrous part of this universe. Human. This is the truth.”

li lately. puffy heart her!
