Photographer. Mom. Wife. Dog mom. Ordained minister. Yooper.

Hi there! My name’s Molly Holmstrom-Bolster, and I’m the Molly Jo of Molly Jo Photography. I was born & raised in Calumet, MI (in the beautiful Upper Peninsula). I picked up a camera over six years ago to get some shots of my younger brothers racing cars & playing hockey, but realized very quickly that my passion was not sports photography - it was capturing love.

Speaking of love, I met my Yinzer (Pittsburgh native) husband (who many of you will meet as he’s often my amazing assistant on shoots & second shooter for weddings) on Plenty of Fish (the worst dating website of all time). He quickly convinced me to make the move to the Queen City, Marquette. I didn’t mind - as long as I didn’t have to leave my beloved UP.

Together, we have 2 daughters & 4 dogs. By day, I work in healthcare - my other passion. I’m a Quality Manager for a local healthcare organization & a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality, meaning problem solving is my speciality. Rain on your wedding day? Broken earring? MIA minister? I’ll figure it out, don’t you worry. I’m also a member of the Board of Directors for Connect Marquette, an organization focused on building connections, community, and leadership. When I’m not juggling those things, I enjoy watching my husband race his Molly Jo Photography Camaro at Norway Speedway, reading a good Colleen Hoover novel, or enjoying our beautiful Upper Peninsula.
