Introducing Holly Max:
Your Photographer, Hype Human, and Confidence Guide
ll y'all belong here
Howdy angels! I'm Holly Max, and I'm not just your photographer, I'm your second biggest cheerleader. Why only second? Because your body is your first! As someone that has existed in a fat queer body for the majority of my life, I understand what it’s like to walk through life in a body that defies society's norms. That’s why I’m here to help you on your journey to self-love, confidence, and embracing your magic within.
My mission is to stand for the liberation of marginalized bodies because we deserve to reclaim our identities. That’s why I create a safe space for people to see their true inner beauty through my lens and help them radiate it out to the world.
I create inclusive and gender affirming portraits, boudoir shoots, and branded sessions for fat, queer, and marginalized folks. Let me guide you to feel confident taking up space.
i’ve been behind the lens for over 18 years and hold a BFA in Photography from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I’m also a certified fitness instructor, informing my knowledge on how to guide you through our sessions. It's not just about the photos; it's about the confidence, the self-love, and the radiant energy that will emanate from every shot, and I’ll help you capture that moment so it can last a lifetime.
I’m fueled by iced lavender lattes, breakfast tacos, and my current obsession, MUNA. I love spending free time with my dogs/assistants, Louie and Alaska.
