Hey there, fabulous souls! I'm Holly Max, and I'm not just your photographer, I'm your second biggest cheerleader. Why? Because your body is your first! As someone that has existed in a fat 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 so they can feel confident taking up space as we showcase their bodies and brands to the world.

I’ve been behind the lens for over 16 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.
