I want you to find confidence by capturing your unique beauty. I want to find what makes you completely and wholly YOU. I want to help foster a sense of profound happiness while aiding you in embracing and celebrating your body just as it is.
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.

My ultimate goal is to help you
take up space and feel AMAZING doing so.
From the moment you reach out to the day you receive your gallery, my mission is to make you feel celebrated in your body. This is more than just a photoshoot-it’s a transcendent experience. I want you to access your highest potential and be able to carry an unmatched confidence with you beyond our session. The photos are evidence you have to cherish how you showed up for yourself, and prove to yourself that you are
A GODDAMN MASTERPIECE.
Taking up space goes beyond my lens. I want you to carry the confidence and knowledge that you ARE a worthy being. Not only do you deserve to take up space,
you deserve to feel phenomenal.
Wherever you are in your journey, I want to guide you into a space that celebrates you.

I'm @FatDarlingPhotography on all platforms. Tag me so we can be friends!
If I’m sharing my photo on social media, how should I tag/give attribution?
You'll receive and email from my platform Pixie Set with your edited photos. Check the bottom of that email for your password and pin to download your photos. Then get ready to share them!
What’s the process for receiving my photos after the shoot?
Your digital gallery will be available to download for 1 year after it has been uploaded. We strongly recommend downloading your full gallery and backing them up to your own computer or hard drive before that date.
How long do I have access to my digital gallery?
Come to your shoot camera ready! Most studios have a place to change, but it's always best to be in your outfit and have your hair and makeup done. If you are using the client closet or getting hair and makeup as part of your package, we'll discuss that in your consultation.
What do I need to bring with me to the studio for our shoot?
I do edit photos to set the tone, or address stray hairs and anything that’s out of place. Beyond that, I don’t make further adjustments. I want to make it super duper clear that I DO NOT edit photos to alter bodies. If there is a concern about something you would like to edit, let’s talk about it!
WHAT DO YOU EDIT?
There's an ongoing societal pressure to conform to an ideal of "picture-perfect" beauty, but here's a spoiler alert: I genuinely believe that you already embody that ideal. We are constantly bombarded with content attempting to dictate our appearance, and I aim to challenge and transform that narrative. You are stunning and your body is normal. We’re here to empower you to love that body as it is.
wILL MY BODY BE EDITED IN THE PHOTOS?
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!”

“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!!
