ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Holly, I photograph weddings and families, and I’m all about real moments, good light, and keeping things easy so it actually feels like you.
I was raised by incredible artists, a garden architect and a decorator who worked in mosaic, pottery, and stained glass. We didn’t grow up with much money, but we were surrounded by color, texture, and thoughtful design. Beauty filled our home and gardens, and that early exposure continues to shape how I see light, composition, and detail.
As an only child, I grew up observing. Listening. Reading the room. My community became an extension of family, and I developed a deep curiosity about people, their stories, their dynamics, their connections. That curiosity is what draws me to weddings and family photography. The layered relationships, the emotion, the history. It all matters.
After losing our home in the Sonoma Glass Fire, and later losing both of my parents, I’ve come to understand how fleeting and precious life is and just how powerful photographs can be. When the dust settles, it’s these frozen moments that remain, windows into the people, places, and emotions that define us. Photography, for me, is more than a profession. It is a way of honoring what matters most.
Whether it is a wedding day or an ordinary afternoon with the people you love most, these are the moments that shape your story. And when time moves on, it’s the photographs that remain, quiet, powerful reminders of what matters most.
Holly is one of those people you meet and you feel like you’ve known them forever. She made the seemingly nerve wracking family photo shoot so incredibly easy and fun! She’s a true GEM and I cannot wait to hire her again in the future.
