I believe in a thing called love, and I know that that’s both cliché and a song title. I also believe that the most important part of your wedding day is that you end up married, and the rest is just details. Of course it's important you find someone whose photography work you love (because it’s going to be hanging on your wall for the rest of your life!

Her prices are very reasonable and she is so sweet. My two year old son was having a temper tantrum right before we went to the photoshoot. ...I was worried he was going to be hard to photograph. She worked with him and the pictures came out AMAZING! Thanks again ❤️ More...

I have used Holly twice now and she is such a pleasure to work with. Once for family portraits and then again as an event photographer. She has a wonderful eye for unique shots and captured exactly what I was looking for. Beyond the sessions, she does great and quick post production. I had my edited photos within a week or two. Overall, a wonderful photographer with great communication. Thank you, Holly :) More...

We booked Holly for our family photos and she did so great! Our 1.5 year old son was being less than cooperative but Holly was so patient and friendly. Somehow she still managed to get some great shots! Also very quick to get our photos to us and really easy to download them. More...

Holly is an absolute gem. Beyond having an unbeatable eye for detail and a true gift for making her "models" feel relaxed, Holly demonstrated pure professionalism and passion by going above and beyond to find a perfect shooting location. She is bubbly, easy to work with, and a true artist in the composition of her shots. I would trust her with any shoot big or small. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Candid moments! Stiff poses aren't ever the best option. I prefer natural smiles, and real lovve.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
How many hours of coverage are you hoping for? I charge hourly rather than with confusing packages.
Also what day and where will your wedding/ event take place?
What do you love most about your job?
The weddings! I have worked with such kind and wonderful people, and viewed so many unique and wonderful weddings, and every one makes me slightly emotional. I think weddings are beautiful, and each is special.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always had a love of photography, and found that I so very much enjoyed working with others and capturing special once in a lifetime moments for them.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am happy to create custom packages for clients, I do not stick to rigid rates or packages. I love to make clients happy and I am very flexible with details!
