Budget
Introduction
My work is different from many other photographers because of the way I view the world. Being born blind in one eye, I tended to compensate by doing my best to take in MORE of the world around. Raised by an artist, I learned that "less" doesn't mean "handicap." In many ways, less is more. My photography heroes are people like Jacob Riis, who braved the hatred and shunning of his own people to tell the story of places like Mullins Alley. I work with several agencies who work with the homeless, and those images are among my favorites, second only to my work with Hospice. I am without a doubt, a lifestyle photographer. I love to "tell a story" with my images. I'd enjoy the opportunity to help you tell yours. I *love* working with clients to help them discover themselves through photography. Many times, people have an idea of what they look like, but are disappointed to actually see it on paper. I encourage my clients to embrace who they are, and to work with me to give them a final product that is authentic, as well as beautiful.

I recently met with Holli for a boudoir session for my Husband for his wedding present. Holli was so professional, made me feel beautiful and was so reasonably priced! Not to mention, she got everything together for me in time for our wedding! Beautiful photos and my husband loved them! Thank you soo much Holli!!

I was searching for a Boudoir Photographer for awhile when I came across Thumbtack. Holli responded with wonderful email introducing herself and she seemed like the perfect fit. I had spoken to and or emailed several other photographers but Holli stood out among all of them. We had our boudoir session and she put us totally at easy. The photos are wonderful and we are already planning another session.

Holli at Courageous Photography was absolutely amazing! We changed our date and location at the last minute and she accomadated us with no problem at all! She worked extremely hard at our ceremony and her partner jumped in at the reception for some Tag Team action! I would definitely use them again. Thanks for everything Holli!!!

Holli shot a boudoir photo session for me so that I could give my husband a very special anniversary gift. For the one hour shoot, she created a warm, comfortable atmosphere in which to work and made me feel at ease in what could have been a very uncomfortable situation considering the lack of clothing involved in boudoir! Holli was professional and it was clear she was skilled in this style of photography, She provided candles and roses for background and props as well as additional jewelry and clothing that I could use for the pictures. The photos are wonderful and she made me look and feel beautiful. I cannot think of anything that could have been better. I would recommend Holli to anyone seeking a skilled and personable professional photographer.

Boudoir is becoming a personal favorite b/c it allows me to show you just how beautiful you truly are! I tell my interns that boudoir photographers have to be equal parts photographer, girlfriend, sister, and counselor. Getting women to be comfortable in their own skin can be challenging b/c we tend to see *only* our flaws. I love showing you guys the amazing beauty and ROCKING, sultry, sexiness that you possess! My favorite is when the husbands tell me, "thank you!"

I'm a very shy person and generally hate getting my photo taken. Holli was understanding, fun, relaxing and made the experience as painless as possible. I look forward to doing more business with her in the future!

Ashley was a joy to work with, and by far one of my favorite boudoir clients to date. Eager to try our suggestions, we were happy to give Ashley a book full of beautiful portraits to surprise her husband with for Valentine's Day.
