Boy mum, punk rocker at heart and harry potter obbsessed.
WEDDING & Family PHOTOGRAPHER
hey
I'M HOLLY
How it all started...
And where I am now
I studied film photography in college 10 years ago and dropped out (cuz i'm cool) My "career" took several detours but somehow ended up back to photography!
During my last C-section birth, I had photos taken, and while things didn’t go exactly as planned, seeing the joy on my face made me realise just how powerful these moments are.
That’s what drives me - freezing time for people, so those memories never slip away.
For me, photography isn’t about cheesy poses or pretending to be someone you’re not. I’m here for the real bits, the tiny details, the stuff that makes your day actually yours. Think documentary at heart, with a little editorial polish around the edges.
My shoots are super relaxed. I want you to feel like I’m hardly there — just a friendly presence in the background while life carries on as normal. No pressure, no awkward “what do I do with my hands?” moments… just genuine, easygoing time together.
I’ve always been drawn to the honesty of Diane Arbus and the style of old Vogue spreads, so my work naturally leans into that mix of raw and refined. A bit punk, a bit polished — the perfect in-between.
Clients often tell me the whole experience feels calm, fun, and surprisingly natural, which is exactly what I aim for. When you’re comfortable, the real moments appear without trying.
And those are the moments I love most.
My journey into photography started in a deeply personal way.
During my last C-section birth, I had photos taken, and while things didn’t go exactly as planned, seeing the joy on my face made me realise just how powerful these moments are.
That’s what drives me - freezing time for families, so those memories never slip away.
For me, photography isn’t about stiff poses or forced smiles. It’s about catching those blink and you’ll miss it moments, the ones that make you laugh, cry, and feel everything in between.
I get a rush every time I’m behind the camera,
knowing I’m capturing life as it really is: raw, messy, and filled with love.
I’m all about making my sessions fun and easygoing.
No need to be nervous or stressed - I want you to feel totally comfortable and just have a blast being yourselves.
One client said, “We were both rather nervous, but it felt so natural to be spending time together, and we see that in the precious images you captured.”
That’s the vibe I aim for in every session.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a mum of three wild boys, Wife to a graphic designer

You'll find me playing video and board games,
-
crocheting,
-
jamming out to punk rock,
-
diving into Harry Potter marathons,
-
or devouring Japanese food.
WHEN IM NOT BEHIND THE CAMERA
My answer was no - and that’s when I picked up my camera to capture the loud, messy, beautiful moments of my own family and inspire others to do the same. Life might be unpredictable, but the memories? They’re yours to keep forever. I want your photos to show the love, the chaos, and everything that makes your world wildly imperfect.
If you died tomorrow, would you have enough your children who you were?”
There’s a quote that really stuck with me:

"WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS.. WE HAVE THEM FRAMED ALL OVER OUR HOUSE!"
