Katie Bartlett
Since being introduced to Olivia 2 ½ years ago to take photos of my then newborn daughter, I have been back to her every 9 months to capture expressions of my growing family. Olivia is a tremendous talent whose work I so greatly admire. She is warm and caring to her subjects with an amazing eye for capturing the little details that make an individual unique – a look in the eye, a loving smile, or a one year old who just discovered a new flower. Her dedication to complete photo perfection always leaves me knowing that each photo session will have the best quality results. She has also mastered photo editing tools so no task is too great – whether it is moving a person or part of a backdrop, she captures and molds the best parts together as if it were the original photo. I have the pleasure of looking at Olivia’s work every day as my upstairs hallway has become a collection of her work, gradually showing our family change over the years. It makes me smile every time I go by, and leaves so many visitors to our home asking “oh my gosh – who took those beautiful photos?” Thank you for the memories, Olivia, and looking forward to seeing you soon!

“I hired Olivia Holmes to do the photo for my forthcoming book, “African American Women Chemists” which will be published by Oxford U Press in December. She was my first choice. She had previously photographed me singing in church for a project that she was doing.
She is skilled photographer and she made me very comfortable in her studio as she arranged me so that I would make the best photo.
Then I was able to watch her work with the photo so that it was the best artistic expression of me as an author.
I would recommend that any authors out there use Olivia Holmes for the photos for their book jackets.
I will use her again for a “family photo” of me and my dog.” September 27, 2011

“As a landscape architect, I have used Olivia Holmes to photograph my head shot as well as my outdoor design projects. Her work is excellent. She reallcaptures the essence of the subject whether it be a landscape or a person. Because of her creativity, enthusiastic personality, and beautiful images, it is my pleasure to highly recommend her.”

“Olivia helped make our photography session a success by allaying the fears of a particularly shy individual, and explaining in clear detail what we should expect from our shoot. She is extremely sensitive to how others perceive themselves and creates an atmosphere of calmness. The results were cherished by us and many others. She was particularly adept at smoothing over our weak points and accentuating our strong points. I would definitely recommend Olivia to anyone considering her services. She is an enthusiastic and warm individual!”
