Jennifer Holman, Owner – Once Upon a Shooting Camera LLC

Born and raised in southeast Michigan, Jennifer is the proud owner of Once Upon a Shooting Camera LLC. She and her husband, Jerry, married on October 1, 2005, and spent their early years together living in five different states over an eight-year span before falling in love with Tennessee. They have now called the Volunteer State home for 12½ years, with the last 6½ years happily rooted in Sevierville.

Facing infertility, Jennifer and Jerry’s four dogs became their beloved family: Angel Lexie, Angel Layla, Lea (17½), and Lucy (13). Each holds a cherished place in their hearts and story.

Jennifer earned an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice from Henry Ford Community College and spent 20 years in the security field before pursuing her passion for photography and event experiences. Today, she blends her creative vision with her professional background to deliver safe, memorable, high-quality photo booth experiences for every client.

Engaged in her community, Jennifer is currently participating in Leadership Sevier, class of 2025, serves as a Pigeon Forge Chamber of Commerce Ambassador, and regularly attends chamber, hospitality, Smoky Mountain Wedding Association, and fierce meetings and events.

Jennifer is a passionate pug lover. In her spare time, she enjoys time with their extended family, especially with all her nieces and nephews, window shopping with friends, exploring the Smoky Mountains, and above all, sharing life’s adventures with Jerry and their two rescue pugs. While dancing may not be her usual line of work, Jennifer is honored and excited (and terrified) to trade the camera for the dance floor to help support this year’s fundraiser. Her left is her right and her right is her left, but she’s ready to give it her best twirl!
