About
My name is Holly and I have a passion for the creative world. With over 10 years of experience in both video and photography, I have dabbled in everything from commercials, music videos, event work and motion picture.
I am a commercial photographer full-time for an international real estate marketing company but my true passion will always be with people. I love being able to capture special moments in someone's life. Whether that be on your wedding day, announcing to the world a little addition to your family or helping extend your professional portfolio; I want to be here to help you capture these unforgettable moments.
I am constantly striving to better myself and my craft. I love the expression and impact you can create through something as simple as a camera lens. This is my world, my work and my soul. Let me share it with you.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to set up an initial meeting in person once we've connected online so we can go over what you'd like to accomplish from utilizing my services as a photographer/videographer.
We go over pricing and I draw up a contact that we will both sign. This is to protect your event and myself as I am being hired by you for a job.
A 25% holding fee will be due at the time of signing the contract. This will lock in your desired date and the 25% wll be applied to the overall cost of the session or event.
The remaining balance will be due the day of the session or event. Please allow 14 business days for your images or video to be ready for your viewing. I will supply all images digitally online along with a signed release form allowing you to make prints. If you have hired me for video purposes I will supply your video to you on a flash drive.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have my bachelor's degree in Video Production and Photography. I have worked in the industry since 2008 and have held a commerical marketing job in the field since 2013. I have freelanced since 2008 but created Holliwood Photography & Design in 2014.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I like to believe that not everyone's budget is the same. That being said I like to custom build packages for clients that fit their needs and their budget.
I do have a ballpark begininning estimate for session and events:
Portrait Sessions start at: $75
Event Sessions start at: $400
Video Services start at: $400
Traveling up to 15 miles: Free
Between 15-30 miles: $25
Between 30-60 miles: $50
*** If your event takes place over 60 miles away I can accomadate this but we would discuess cost and possibly a hotel/airBnB stay
How did you get started in this business?
I've had a passion for photography from a very young age. It started off with taking pictures of nature and my friends and eventually it blossumed into a passion that I wanted to do every day of my life. Commerical photography and videography I've become very seasoned in, I've been doing it professionally full-time for the past 5 years however my passion will always be with people. I've been finding beauty in life for over 10 years now and I'd love to help showcase your special moments in life.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with people from all different vacets of life from wedding photography, portrait family sessions and boudoir photography to music video and commerical marketing videos... That's what I love about photography and video is that you meet people with different backgrounds, from different cultures, different skin color and different beliefs. I've learned so much from doing this, I believe it's what drives my passion
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Make sure that you hire someone who truly knows what it is you want and what you're trying to accomplish. It's not always about who has the highest or lowest price but more about the quality of work and time they're willing to put into it for you.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Be willing to be open to new ideas. Make sure that whoever you hire actually listens to you. That's what matters the most. You want to feel confident in the services you're hiring
