Hi! I’m Holly!
Hi there! I'm Holly! I've been a photographer for over a decade, starting as a typical mom-tog. I've evolved along the way, and while I still love capturing my family, I have transitioned into the macro and nature genres as the children have gotten older. I shoot with a Nikon Z6 Mirrorless Camera and use a variety of standard and Lensbaby lenses. As a proud Lensbaby Ambassador, I've had the pleasure of beta testing many Lensbaby products have worked closely with the company for several years.
I'm married to my high school sweetheart, and we live in a rural town in Michigan with our three kids. We are animal lovers and have many pets – 6 dogs, 5 cats, and a bunch of chickens. We love our country life, even though we grew up and started our family in the suburbs. We moved to the country in 2016 and haven't looked back since.
I absolutely love nature and being outside. Traveling is a passion of mine, but I also cherish my time at home. I value deep connections and prefer having a few great friends over many acquaintances. You'll often find me outdoors, no matter the season, enjoying nature with my family and fur-babies. I'm inspired by the elements and how we interact with them in our daily lives. My goal is to evoke emotion in my work using light, movement, and the environment. If I can make my viewers feel even a fraction of what I felt while capturing the moment, then I've done my job.
My passion for photography has blossomed into a love for community and helping others on their photography journeys. I hope you'll see me as a friendly resource and feel comfortable reaching out with any photography questions.
