I provide joyful, happy photography for those who find magic in their everyday chaos. I specialize in families, children, and babies and hold sessions in homes and on location (places like our beautiful Lexington parks!).
Bring me your sleepy newborns, your wild toddlers, your goofy kids and too-cool big kids. I work with real families who embrace the perfectly imperfect in their every day lives.
Let’s make something beautiful together that celebrates your family–the silliness, the sweetness, and all.
Holly was so patient, she was engaging, and she made this entire experience easy and fun! – Cindy
Joy does not arrive with a fanfare
on a red carpet strewn
with the flowers of a perfect life
joy sneaks in
as you pour a cup of coffee
watching the sunlight
hit your favorite tree, just right
– Donna Ashworth
Hey, y’all! I’m Holly – a photographer, Mom, and pro at working with kids.
I know how fast these moments pass, and I want to help you ensure your memories last a lifetime, without adding extra stress to your life. Babies and kids are my jam, and I absolutely adore capturing the warmth, chaos, and love that make your family yours.
If you want a mix of genuine, candid moments and timeless frame-ready portraits, we might be the perfect fit.
I’m here when you’re ready—no pressure, just sunshine, smiles, and beautiful photos.
