Photoshoots with me are slow-paced and easeful; your experience being photographed is just as important to me as creating an amazing final product.

From the very first time we discuss working together, I am deeply intentional about this process, with the goal that you will feel held each moment along the way.

It would be my honor to capture your unique story, creating beautiful photographs that you will cherish for years to come.

Let's do it!

    "Even though we’d never met, working with Holly felt like having a friend capture photos of our family.

    They made us feel so safe, comfortable, and seen throughout the whole process. And the pictures turned out even better than I expected. We can’t wait to come back for more as our family grows."

    “Holly was not only clear, communicative, and professional, but also genuinely expressed an interest in me and my needs to be photographed. They not only affirmed my gender and queerness without hesitation but, made me feel seen in all parts of myself and created a secure environment to be expressive in the ways I desired."

    "Holly brings such a safe, joyful, and supportive attitude and energy to the experience. I have recommended Holly to countless people, especially folks with intersecting marginalized identities, because Holly really values celebrating ALL bodies. Seeing how amazing the photos came out was simply the icing on the cake of such a wonderful and affirming experience. :)"

    It can be very nerve wracking to do a photoshoot of any variety. Holly’s warmth, guidance, attention to detail and amazing camera skills make for a one of a kind experience. I’ve worked with her multiple times and will continue to do so to capture all my many beautiful changes through life in picture."
