About

I'm Holli and I think I've been a photographer most of my life. Blind in one eye, I've come to see the world a little differently than most people do. My perspective is always about the bigger story, and I'm always focused on the details.

I started this gig as just a mom with a camera who was sick of mug shot style school pictures. In the last nine years I've been honored to be invited into my clients most intimate moments. From birth to death, I strive to be the last photographer you'll ever hire. When I'm not weilding my camera, I'm just a mom, a wife, a sister, & a daughter. I'm an activist and lover of people. I can be found in the inner city and out in the woods. I spend my "free" time as a search and rescue paramedic responding to natural disasters. I lead mission trips with photographers who give so much of themselves to give back to communities striving to survive. Stop by sometime - you're liable to find something you like around here.

We have recently added a THIRD location to our business. While Cincinnati is still our home base, we've also expanded to the Goshen/Elkhart area of Northern Indiana and now serve all of Northern Indiana, Southern Michigan, and Chicago. Our newest location is the Southern Region, stretching from Texas to SC and down into FL. We are working hard to establish a national presence in our market.

Chris Pennington is our dedicated second shooter. Chris is a mom to four, and loves helping us capture your most memorable events.

Paul Stevenson is our "sports" and kid photographer. Father to two, and husband to Holli, Paul works with us part time and is a favorite among our families. Paul is available for bookings for school pictures, and sporting events. He will often work as an assistant at weddings as well.
