Get to know me

Hi there, my name is Holly Schwaller. I am currently a communications/advertising major at UW-Whitewater. I dream of one day making my favorite hobby into my full time job, which is photography. Photography has been one of my favorite things to do since I was very little. I have always been snapping pictures of everything I see. I have now taken photography to the next level, and I am currently working on building my own brand and website. I decided to create my blog based on photography, to hopefully inspire people to follow their dreams. I also hope that this blog will help those who are interested in photography, to take the next step and start working toward their dreams as well. In my blog, I will be covering many basics about photography, as well as my own personal experience with it.

When I first became interested in photography, I mostly liked to work on editing cool effects into pictures of myself. I didn’t have a professional camera at the time, so I did what I could with my IPhone. I practiced editing and taking pictures without a real camera for about two years before I purchased the Canon Rebel T3I. Ever since I purchased my camera, I switched my focus from myself, to other people.
