Portrait Photographer
based in knoxville, tn
Being a highly visual person, it’s both my joy and ultimate goal to create quality imagery. I want excellence and generosity to flow into every aspect of what I do for my clients. I aim for a very relaxed, documentary experience so that when I photograph you or your business, you have images that have life in them.
I want to give you all that you need to remember this time in your life or to clarify your brand identity.
Singer-Songwriter-Musician
All of who I am exists because of the kindness of Jesus. Because He reached out his hand and offered me something I could never have received on my own. It’s for that reason I sing. It’s for that reason I create. It’s for that reason I have joy and life.
It’s my hope that you can feel the love of God in every part of my music. I can’t tell you how much fun I have making it and I’m so thankful I get to share it with you.
Writing and recording my own songs has allowed me such honesty as a creative. Sometimes it’s hard to express all that I think and feel. I’m thankful for what music does. We were created to sing songs to praise, to remember, to lament, to dig deeper, to connect.

I found Holly on Instagram and scheduled a 30 minute portrait session with her. She took the time to get to know my vision through an introductory call and Pinterest board inspiration. Her timely communication, professionalism, and calming personality made the entire process super easy. On the day of the shoot, she helped me not feel awkward in front of the camera which I was nervous about. Holly sourced the perfect location for my session and directed the session with so much creativity. I absolutely love the photos she captured! Can't recommend her enough for all of your portrait, lifestyle, and branding photo needs.

I'm a musician based out of Knoxville, TN and I recently needed some new photos for concert announcements. A mutual friend connected me with Holly, and I can't tell you how grateful I am for that! It's usually very difficult for me to be comfortable in front of a camera, but Holly is one of those people who puts you at ease and makes you feel like you have permission to be completely yourself. I so enjoyed the session and I was thrilled when I (quickly) received the photos from Holly. I truly loved my experience and I've already told all of my friends to call Holly if they ever need a photographer. Holly has wonderful creative vision, is a great communicator, has incredible talent, and is an overall joy to work with.

I found Holly through the Maker City Directory and I'm so glad I did! Her warm personality eliminated all the usual awkwardness that comes with taking pictures. She took the time beforehand, and during the photoshoot to get to know me so she could really tailor the experience to exactly what I wanted. I presented Holly with an abstract idea and she helped pick the locations to bring it to life. I've received so many compliments from just one picture she took! They all turned out great though. I would recommend Holly to anyone looking for a warm, tailored photoshoot experience!

I can’t even begin to express how much we love our wedding photos. I’ve been a fan of Holly’s work for a long time, so I knew she would be the perfect fit for us. As someone who doesn’t like to be the center of attention, I was worried about feeling uncomfortable being photographed. Holly made me feel so comfortable. She was so kind and friendly and willing to try new things. We even asked her to stand on an unstable dock to take photos. She agreed without even hesitating, and the results are absolutely incredible. Her attention to detail is great, and the candid photos she captured are some of my favorites. She definitely captured the emotions of the day. If you are looking for a photographer, you won’t find much better than Holly!
