I'm Holly and I'm that crazy lady behind the camera, jumping up and down and singing, trying to get your kids to smile and snuggling the alpaca in the photo above.
First and foremost, I am a fire wife and a mommy to two littles, a 7 year old little boy and a 5 year old little girl. They are my full time job. I'm just your typical mom who's addicted to Pinterest, obsessed over The Housewives, a total foodie, and I'm allergic to working out. Unless you count running after my kids and clients kids during sessions, then in that case, I work out all the time.
In addition to being a full time mommy, I somehow stumbled my way into being a photographer. My main motivation is to be able to provide affordable, quality photography to everyone. Getting into this I truly understand and recognize why photographers charge what they do, it's a very expensive and time consuming business to be in. It's more than click and filter. But on the other end, I am a mom, a mom who sacrificed maternity and newborn photos with my son because I just could not afford it. And I regret it. I wish I had just charged it on a credit card and figured it out later. I can't go back and get those tiny moments back. But maybe I can save another mommy from having the same regrets I have.
At the end of a long, hard day, the most rewarding feeling is to get a message from a client saying "thank you so much for these photos, I am in tears and this would have never happened if I hadn't of found you!" It's the best feeling in the world. I may not be able to change the world, but maybe I can just make a bright spot in another mommy's day through photos.
