ABOUT HOLLY
Hi! I am Holly and I am so glad our paths have crossed.
I have been a professional photographer since I was 22 years old. What started as a hobby in childhood and throughout high school, turned into a passion in college and then a profession following graduation. I have now been photographing families, seniors and weddings for nearly 12 years. How has it been that long!?
I have been married to my husband Ty since 2011. We met as students at Ohio State and very quickly realized there was no one else we could imagine doing life with. We were and STILL are best friends.
I am pretty certain we belly laugh about something every single day, which is a good sign our humor is still intact. :P
Six years ago we welcomed our beautiful little girl, Caroline into the world. She's the best. I wish I could bring her to all of my sessions so clients could meet her...but she would definitely take over and run the show. So it's best I leave her at home.
A huge part of my life outside of photography is inspired by my daughter, Caroline, actually. In hundreds of ways, she is just like many other six year olds; she loves playing outside, looking for bugs, pretending to be a mermaid and calling anything muticolored "Unicorn." Unlike most children though, Caroline was born with a genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and she is also profoundly autistic ('profoundly autistic' meaning she has high support needs for communicating and safety).
My world was changed when she was born, in so many really beautiul ways. It's difficult to see her struggle with chronic illness and the challenges she faces on a daily basis because of autism. However, she is literally the happiest, pure hearted child I know. She has shown me how to see beauty in the world in ways I never had before, which as a photographer, is pretty cool.
So outside of photography you will find me fundraising for a cure for CF (check out The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for more information!) or trying to make the world a more kind and accomodating place for autistic individuals like Caroline (follow me on instagram @the.williams.fam to learn more!).
Alright! That's me! Now I want to hear about YOU! Contact me at the link below so we can talk!
