Family Photographer in Guelph, Ontario


I know your time is valuable, and that is why I created a one of a kind portrait experience that takes all the chores off of your plate. I document your most treasured memories and create beautiful artwork for your home.

Let’s make sure your photos finally make it to the wall!

I have so much empathy for busy moms who are just trying to do it all for their kids. On top of your already endless list of tasks and responsibilities, mothers are expected to be the memory keepers of the family. They take all the photos, make the scrapbooks, and find creative ways to keep little tokens of your baby’s growth. Allow me to shoulder the task of being your family’s memory keeper. I want to help you not just get stunning images of your family, but have a memorable experience while doing so, and walk away with actual wall art for your home.

Planning and executing a family photoshoot is no simple task. At the end of it all, the last thing you want to do is research print companies, and put more time and effort into getting them on your wall. As a professional family photographer who has done all the research and testing, I am here to take on that task and guide you through the process seemlessly.

Hi, I’m Holly

MATERNITY, NEWBORN, AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER IN GUELPH ONTARIO

I’m the owner and lead photographer at Glass Rose Productions. Taking photos with a stranger can be quite intimidating. Every family, every child, and every parent are unique. So let’s produce a photoshoot customized to YOU. To do this, I avoid asking for stiff poses and forced smiles. Instead, I like to use prompts that initiate genuine moments and capture that magic!


“Our photoshoot with Holly was wonderful. She was so great with my son and I and gave us direction and ideas for outfits and poses which turned out great. The photos she captured are amazing and are something I will cherish forever. I hope to work with Holly again for more family portraits. She was very organized and helpful leading up to the shoot, keeping me updated and sending directions/information for both the studio and parking. If you are considering getting some photos taken I highly recommend you use Holly and Glass Rose Productions!”

This is a judgement free zone!

I get it - toddlers are monsters, babies never smile when you want them to, your 6 year old gets easily distracted, and your husband hates having his photo taken. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 5 years as a professional photographer and 12 years of working with children, it’s that all families are perfectly imperfect and that’s okay. I have zero judgement to hold. We will use positivity and patience, and we WILL get those picture perfect moments captured!

Unlike traditional photo sessions where your kids are continuously asked to smile and behave, I like to let the little ones lead the session. This means playing games when they’re feeling energetic, snuggling with mom and dad when they’re feeling shy, or exploring the environment when they’re feeling adventurous.

A judgement free shoot creates images where your kids are ACTUALLY having fun and your family is creating REAL memories.

I do not follow firm time constraints. I don’t want you feeling stressed, or your kids feeling pressure. Some sessions we get a full gallery worth of photos in 30 minutes, other times we need more time for warming up and taking breaks - and that’s totally fine!
