You step into a realm where you are safe to be yourself. This is a place where showing up wholly and authentically you is sacred.
Your beauty is seen from the inside out, and your bright light is embraced. Each step you take is with the knowledge that you are worthy of taking up every inch of space you need. You are powerful. You are a vision. Your unique beauty is unmatched.
I want all bodies to find confidence by capturing the beauty of individuals from all walks of life, embracing diverse identities and expressions, and fostering a sense of profound happiness while aiding you in embracing and celebrating your body just as it is.

THE EXPERIENCE
BOOK
Just finished my milk bath photo shoot with Holly and holy shit y’all! I’ve never felt so sexy and beautiful. Holly is the master of the female gaze. She makes her vision come to life with her ability to tastefully create scenes, and give posing guidance and direction. And the words of affirmation? Holly is THE number one hype woman. She had me giggling and blushing throughout our shoot. I can’t say enough good things about her and if you’re thinking of doing a milk bath photo shoot (or any photo session) with her, just fucking do it!

“My team and I had our first brand photo shoot with Holly last week, and I can honestly say it was the most incredible photography experience I’ve ever had. She was very professional and showed early to set up, thoughtfully introduced herself to each member of our team to create a personal connection, posed us so we didn’t have to think of poses ourselves (a huge gift), and was very receptive to feedback about where we’d like pictures taken, how we’d like them to look, and what “vibes” we were feeling. She quoted a speedy turnaround time and has been communicative throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a photographer in the ATX area who knows how to make the experience warm, supportive, and a true joy, you absolutely need to schedule with Holly!”
Sam, Creative Director
“Going into my session with Holly, I was admittedly nervous. As a genderqueer person, I find it hard to see myself in photos without feeling dysphoric. But I needed to get some new portraits for my website. Holly listened to me share all of the things that make me feel uncomfortable. She paid attention and made me feel so confident and at ease and it showed in my photos! I did a 3 outfit shoot and was able to fully express the multitudes of my identity. I’m so happy with how they came out and cannot recommend working with Holly enough! ”

Holly was great- I loved the experience of my empowerment photo shoot.. From the consultation to styling session to photo shoot to photo viewing, Holly really tried to make me feel comfortable, ensure we were meeting my goals, and make sure the process felt enjoyable to me. She was patient while negotiating my travel since I was only in Austin for a short time for an entirely different purpose. Highly recommend that anyone (especially plus sized folks of all genders) shoot with Holly Max Taylor for fun, a project or your own healing. I would definitely do it again!!
