  • "Holly did the best job on my 6 month old granddaughters photos! She met us super early at the Grapevine Arboretum, was patient and willing to do what it took to get good pictures. She laid flat on the ground, stood up on rocks, whatever it took to get the right angle! She was able to capture the joy and beauty all in the golden hour, we will treasure these photos forever."

    —Kim C.

  • "Our session with Holly was fun, supportive and incredibly comfortable. She quickly got my daughter to open up was able to capture exactly what I was looking for and made sure she loved her pictures too. Holly continued to support and cheer on our daughter through the end of her senior year and now into her going off to college. Holly is not just a phenomenal photographer, but an incredible human being."

    —Whitney G.

  • "We had the most wonderful experience with Holly! She came to our home to take newborn photos of our son and also captured some beautiful family moments, including the sweetest shots of our daughter with her new baby brother. She was so calm, patient, and creative throughout the session, making us all feel comfortable in front of the camera."

    —Tara G.

  • "Holly completely blew away our expectations for this family photo session and captured some of the most amazing pics of my little family that I will forever cherish! With two 3 year old toddlers and one that was refusing to take pictures when we started she made us feel so comfortable, made my boys laugh and warm up by tackling her! At the end they didn’t want the session to end because they were having so much fun! She is so talented and I was in aw when I saw the final gallery of what she captured in a 15 min mini session!!"

    —Corri W.

  • "In just a 15-minute mini-session, Holly captured beautiful family photos for us that I'll cherish forever. I was blown away at how gorgeous the photos turned out and would highly recommend her! She is calm and great with kids, we had a wonderful experience."

Kia ora y’all *

Howdy, I’m Holly! I’m a mom of three (two humans and a fur baby) and a bunch of houseplants. After twelve years living in New Zealand we decided to be closer to our families (Texas and the UK) and now live in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.

Growing up, I was always the creative type — guess it’s in my blood, being the daughter of an art teacher! I sewed my own prom dress, designed jewellery, and embraced every quirky, colorful part of me.

I’m all about celebrating who we are right here, right now, and that’s exactly what I want to create with you — something fun, bold, and totally you. Beautiful art that celebrates the incredible, strong, smart, and resilient human you are today. You are worth celebrating right now and so are the people you love.

“I have never been so excited to have somebody photograph my family. She picked the perfect location and captured everyone's personality perfectly. I can't wait to have Holly photography my family for years to come.” - Kim
