Hey there! I'm Hollie Welch.

Let's get to know each other!! With that in mind here are some (interesting?) (and completely worthless!) facts about me:

• I have a photography problem and I'm not afraid to admit it.
• The members of my family are enablers.
• I enjoy taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets.
• I feel naked without my camera.
• Despite my picture taking problem, my two youngest daughters still don't have completed baby books.
• Sometimes, my life feels like a stand up comic routine.

I adore the artistic expression that can come from the power of editing, but I strive to capture great photos straight out of the camera.

My preferred photography style is "what just happened?" It's not all "light and airy", or "moody" or "peaches and cream". What happened? What's the story? How can I elicit emotion from that moment? There will likely be a mix of styles in every session! If you have something in mind, let's collaborate! (I'll listen!)

Note : I love seeing inspiration images. I have a collection too! It can help communicate what we love about photography. Inspiration doesn't equal imitating or recreating. We're all familiar with the "Pinterest Fail" outcome. Bring your ideas. Together, we'll make personal memories with a snap.
