San Francisco Bay Area (and beyond) photographer

Hello! My name is Holly and I’m a photographer based in the Bay Area, but I’m also available for travel (which I love.) I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California, and I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2013 to study at Stanford University. I was the first in my family to go to college, and I graduated with a degree in psychology and a minor in creative writing. I worked throughout college as a photographer for Stanford (and TA’d for a photography course), and I have been pursuing photography in my personal life since I began my photography journey in 2011. My work has been featured in publications such as Billboard, as well as on countless Stanford websites, publications, social media, and campaigns. I have photographed celebrities such as Sterling K. Brown, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Governor Gavin Newsom, Frank-Walter Steinmeier (the President of Germany), and more. I’m also a winner of a Congressional art competition. You get the idea. I don’t share these things to boast: I just want you to know that you’re in good hands! My priority is getting to know you and to capture the beauty I see in everyone. With my shoots, I want you to have a great time and leave feeling more confident and more at peace than when you arrived.
