Phil Holland…

I'm always excited to share my photography with new people. I'm thrilled that you're here! I'd like you to know a little about my story.

I am Phil Holland and I live in Texas near Dallas with my wife Lee. Lee is a Dallas Police officer and an amazing person. She inspires me more than I know how to tell her. The concept of doing something half-way does not exist to my wife. Together we are sharing the excitement of watching our amazing baby daughter grow! She just passed her first birthday...be sure to look for her on the blog!

My Mom is the greatest musician I have ever known. She is a pianist and went to the Eastman School of Music. I am a classical musician and have studied the trumpet my entire life, also at the Eastman School of Music. She taught us to create and think. I love her dearly.

After college I was a principal trumpet player in the United States Air Force Band. I'm proud to be a veteran. I still teach the trumpet in Plano, Texas. I have the best, most amazing students and love that I am both a photographer and a trumpet player.

My father is no longer living. I miss him more than I could have ever imagined. His father was a country photographer in rural Tennessee. He washed his prints in a creek. This was in the 1920's and I am amazed at the art he created with the tools he had. I never knew him, but he passed photography to me through Dad.

Did I mention that I miss Dad? I think of him often when I am photographing high energy, once in a lifetime moments. He would be excited. He will always be with me and that makes me smile.

I love sharing things I love. "Show and Tell" is big in my family! I'm excited when someone emails me about photography. I always will be. I hope the next email I get will be from you. It's your turn. Tell me your story, I can't wait to hear it!

Father’s Prayer-Dallas Wedding Photography

I always pay special attention to the fathers of the bride on a wedding day. I think sometimes with the excitement of the day they can be forgotten. I admire them with their quiet emotion.

There are two main reasons my thoughts tend to go their way.

My father’s passing led me to photography. I didn’t see it at the time but it’s obvious now.

I am now a father of a beautiful baby girl. One day (long from now) I hope to be that father.

Kevin, this slideshow is for you. I was honored to photograph YOUR daughter’s day. I know what you said is true. It will be here in the blink of an eye.

Tammy+Jeff:Plano Texas Bridal Session

Now that Tammy and Jeff’s wedding is in the past I can finally post a few from Tammy’s bridal session a few months ago. We spent a little time in the heat in Haggard Park of downtown Plano. Had a great time as always with Tammy and these are a few that I especially like.
