Lifestyle photography lies somewhere between documentary photography and classic portraiture.
A documentary photographer will tell the story of real life, as it happens, while trying to be as transparent as possible. A classic portraiture photographer has complete control over what is in frame: light, backgrounds, clothes, poses, props.
As a lifestyle photographer, I mix these two approaches.
I strive to make your experience one-of-a-kind, and capture true connection and emotion in my photos. Just as no two families are the same, neither are my photoshoots! My job is to feel your vibe and create the mood that enkindles the natural beauty of your life. For me, it’s less about technicality and posing, and more about the relationships in front of me.
Michelle is the best photographer in Savannah and the low country. She is there every step of the way, whether you need wardrobe inspo for the chosen location or suggesting fun spots for the shoot based on your ideas. Michelle makes it a really fun, engaging & exciting experience from start to finish. Her passion really shines through, she gets excited during the shoots when she sees a cool shot, and wants to send out sneak peaks literally as soon as she gets home. I highly recommend Michelle Holloway Photography!! You will not regret it.

"Michelle did a romantic photoshoot for us in downtown Savannah. She captured what was a very special day, and I will cherish the photos forever. I also worked with her many times to create fun and unique brand photography. I recommend her to everyone!!"
"Our daughters Senior pictures were beautiful and so much fun for our shy girl. Michelle made her feel relaxed and a natural in front of the camera. Michelle is creative with her posing suggestions and truly made her session a blast! We are so happy with these pictures and treasured memories."
"Michelle's photos are breathtaking! She is so personable and kind when she's taking our photos. She has taken my son and I's pictures for four years now and each year she leaves me speechless! I highly recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful memories to look back on. We look forward to seeing you each year!"
I knew we NEEDED to have Michelle cover our wedding after an incredible experience with her for our engagement photos. Not only is Michelle professional and kind, we just vibed with her on a wavelength that every bride and groom dreams of. She’s family now, as far as we’re concerned. We cannot stop bragging about our incredible wedding photos — which are not only impeccable, but got turned around in record time. I get teary-eyed every time I look, and I’m so proud to share them with my friends and family.
