Meet Holly 

Holly M. Smith Photography

I have been taking pictures since I was 9 years old.  My first camera was a Canon AE-1, and yes it used real film!  I grew up participating in  4-H activities and taking pictures with my mom and one of my close friends.  Over the years I have always had my camera close by and now I have turned my hobby into my own business.  I would not be where I am today without the support of my family and friends, especially their willingness to be my test models.

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, especially horses.  I grew up showing Saddlebreds and I am very comfortable in the barn and around horses.  One of the most of exciting experiences I have had as a photographer is following American Pharoah during his training  for the Triple Crown at Churchill Downs.
  However, animals are not my only focus.  I enjoy capturing life's milestones with clients.  Holly M. Smith Photography can provide clients with family, newborn, senior, weddings, and birthday party sessions.  
I shoot with a Canon 70D and 7D Mark II cameras.   I  added a 70-200mm lens to my collection and its my pride and joy!

When I'm not working my full time job or taking pictures, I enjoy all things related to University of Kentucky, catching up on all my DVR'd shows or checking my social media.  I am a self proclaimed social media junkie !
