Studio. Underwater. Nature.
Whether you prefer refined studio portraits, artistic underwater imagery, or photographs created in natural outdoor settings, there’s a session designed to suit how you want your images to feel.
Each option offers a different visual language, guided by the same fine-art approach and attention to detail.
framed in
nature
Artistic narratives captured in the heart of nature. It's where Mother-Earth and Mothers-to-be come together.

fine art studio
For the woman whose only photo of her pregnant body is a bathroom mirror selfie.
For the woman who's ready to see herself as art.
This is for you.
The
underwater experience
An exploration of femininity, strength and grace on an underwater canvas.
The level of creativity and detail Holly brings is really unmatched in this area - the photos really stand out and are works of art! I feel so lucky to have found her and will have these photos forever!

— Dijana
this is my why —
every woman deserves to see herself as
art
I love creating beautiful photos for women — and it’s not just the finished product but the journey of creating itself. Every session feels meaningful, whether it’s capturing the changes of motherhood or simply taking the time to celebrate yourself. These moments don’t last forever, but the images do. The best part is when the photographs are revealed, and there’s that feeling of “I’m so glad I did this.” Knowing you’ll always have them to look back on — reminders of your beauty, confidence, and this season of life.
