wonderful year, their Senior year. Senior pictures are a right of passage and a monumental event in our young people's lives. I have photographed all types of teens.

session. From there I will pair that vision with beautifl photography locations. Being in Salem, Oregon we have no shortage of beautiful locations. Once we have our locations, props and outfits figured out all that's left is for you to shine at your session. I have so many fun prompts and poses that will elicit geniune reactions that will capture your true personality, I just love it!
just be chit chatting the whole time - while of course throwing in some of my fun prompts and poses that will bring out authentic smiles making your senior pictures uniquely yours! "But I'm so awkward!" I hear this all the time from my seniors, take heart in knowing that very few of us are actual models but you are beautiful and I will get that on camera, trust me I take 1000's of images during our session!
getting to play with your edits on my computer. I feel that senior pictures spur my editing creativity like no other! On top of the creative artistry I get to play with, I absolutely love getting to know this generation. I find 99% of my seniors are joyful, ambitious, kind and respectful...they inspire me so much!
Let's chat! I'd love to hear about you've been dreaming up for your senior picture session! I always ask if my client's have a vision or vibe for their session. I'd say it's 50/50 in responses. Half of my seniors have an idea of what they'd like to get out of their senior photography session, the other half is open to my experience guiding their locations and outfits to produce a stunning senior gallery.
I'd love chance to be your senior photographer, it's an adventure I'm excited to go on with you!

Check out my work! My best piece of advice as you are looking for a senior photographer is to make sure their style matches up with your vision and then second, make sure their personality is one you can vibe with.
1. check out my style
2. let's chat
Once you've selected and booked your senior picture session with me, I'll then organize a phone chat. We'll go over all the necessary details but I always start off with nailing down our locations. I always ask if my clients have a specific location in mind and I try and pair that with one of my tried and true locations that always turn out gorgeous light & scenery. We'll also talk about outfits, props and other fun things to make your senior pictures a blast!
Come prepared to have a good time during our session! Think of it as 2 friends hanging out except I'm asking you tons of questions about your life, cracking jokes, and posing you along the way. We'll play games, you'll feel silly - don't worry though, you won't look silly in your photos, just beautiful! I'll also be checking our weather. In case of rain, I'll reach out the day before or even the morning of our session to reschedule us. Usually this is only an issue with late October and November sessions.
3. session day!
Not long after our session I'll send you your proofing gallery. These images have gone through my basic color editing. A proofing gallery will usually have between 100-200 images in it for you to choose your 50 favorites! Once you have selected your favorites, these images will go through my entire editing process. They'll be enhanced & beautified. I will also refine my crops and remove distractions like blemishes, undergarments, wild hair and other distractions.

Holly was very professional and so much fun to work with. She was very creative and took amazing pictures. I am beyond happy with my daughter’s senior pictures!

"...took amazing pictures."
"Holly is simply the best! I feel so fortunate to have found Holly early on in my wedding photographer search. I met Holly for coffee and knew right away she was the right photographer to work with for my wedding. She is down to earth, professional, and is extremely talented. She also helped me with my wedding timeline and always responded so promptly. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable on our wedding day and we could not be happier with our photos."

"Holly is simply the best!"
I can’t say enough about Holly’s work. The recent photos of my son are exceptional. By far, the best professional photos we’ve had taken. She captured so many special moments. I also can’t say enough about Holly as a person. She was so kind, attentive and responsive to our requests. The whole experience was wonderful, from our very first contact to the ease of ordering our photos. Thank you, Holly! I am so grateful to have these amazing photos.

She is extremely professional, personable, and extremely talented at what she does and not to mention, efficient. She kept the environment stress free and took care of everything. The photos came out so beautifully and my Husband and I couldn’t be happier!"

"Holly was the best wedding photographer I have ever worked with, and I have been in at least 9 weddings. She was very skilled- she knew how to help us relax yet get good poses. She was discreet- I don't remember seeing her the entire wedding although she was definitely around as her photographs from many angles show. She got all the shots we wanted yet was not stressed or uptight. She took initiative and was prepared. She was very warm and friendly; we felt really good about having her join our family for the special day. Also her development of our photos was timely and professional. I have no negative things to say, only positive."

"Holly was an amazing photographer for our wedding! She was accommodating, easy to work with, and her photos are incredible! Neither me or my husband are very comfortable in front of a camera but she gave great direction and made us feel comfortable.
