Hi there — I’m Brian Williams, a photographer based in Lima, Ohio, serving Northwest Ohio and beyond. I was born and raised in Lima and getting to photograph the people, stories and moments throughout the community I call home is something I truly love.

My journey into photography actually started at a Julie Roberts and Shooter Jennings concert in Newport, Kentucky back in 2017. That night led to connections in the music industry I never could have imagined and before long, I picked up my first Canon camera and discovered how much I loved telling stories through photography.

Since then, my camera has taken me everywhere from family sessions, senior portraits and couples to backstage, tour buses and the Grand Ole Opry stage. I've had the opportunity to photograph artists including Ashley McBryde, Walker Hayes, Lainey Wilson, Jamey Johnson, Selah and many more.

My photography has been featured by People Magazine (twice!), Billboard, MusicRow Magazine and other publications. My images have also appeared on album covers and liner notes for artists including Amy Perry of Selah, Julie Roberts and Scott Stevens.

No matter what I'm photographing, I want the experience to feel comfortable, genuine and like you. Whether you're updating family photos, celebrating your senior year, building your brand, documenting your relationship or creating something for your next music project, I'd love to have you in front of my camera.

I'd love to get to know you and capture your story next.

My photos have been seen in:

People, Second People feature, Billboard, Music Row Magazine, and more
