Hi, I’m Carlee holyoak.
I am a portrait photographer based in Colorado Springs. I specialize in Family, Maternity, Fresh 48, and Military sessions. As a mother to five children and a former military spouse, I get how beautiful and chaotic life can be. The desire to capture my own family’s story quickly turned into a passion for telling others' stories. I fell in love with the emotion a single image can hold.
My passion lies in capturing the beautiful and fleeting moments of life, from family portraits to the glow of maternity, the laughter of children, and the love shared between couples. I believe every picture tells a unique story.
My Approach
I believe the best photos are felt. This is why my sessions combine guided poses with candid photos. I work to make my sessions comfortable and fun. Whether it’s a quiet moment of connection or a full-blown, beautiful chaos, I am there to capture the beauty of your story.
I strive to create timeless images that reflect the authentic emotions and connections between people. My goal is to make each session fun and relaxed, allowing genuine moments to unfold. I am excited to help you preserve your cherished memories in a way you can hold on to forever. Let’s create something beautiful and memorable together!
