BIO / CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
BIOGRAPHY
For many years, Holly Lynch was known for her presence in front of the camera, modeling in campaigns for brands like Neutrogena, Guess, Apple, Forever 21 and Chanel to appearing in numerous television shows, including CSI: Miami/NY, Entourage, Necessary Roughness, The Vampire Diaries, Rules of Engagement and Ray Donovan. She's also appeared in over 50 national commercials as well. However, Lynch decided to add another skill to her growing list of talents when she chose to start a business behind the camera.
Holly Lynch Photo began after the model-actress’ hobby of taking exceptional photos on her phone turned into an opportunity to create something much greater than what she could’ve imagined. “With all my experience in front of the camera, I knew I could use it in my photography work, so one Black Friday, I decided to bite the bullet and get myself a high-end camera and just dive right into it.”
That risk quickly turned into reward when Lynch got a chance to put her natural talent to work with her modeling agency. After taking notice of her new endeavor, the agency asked if she’d like to test shoot with a handful of models, which in turn began what is now Lynch’s expansive and very impressive portfolio. Her photography work, which she says is always growing and perfecting, spans from headshots and portraits, to lifestyle photography. “Every photo tells a story and I love telling stories,” Lynch explains. “You’re capturing a moment in time, a piece of history in a single image that will last forever. I truly love that.”
When asked what she loves most about taking photo’s she says, “I love collaborating with my clients. I love seeing the huge smile on their faces when I show them their images. Making my clients feel beautiful and feel seen, is truly magical.”

Chad Collins, Actor
“Start to finish, working with the talented Holly Lynch for new headshots was a breeze. Flexibility of schedule, incredibly fast turnaround, and you simply can’t beat her very reasonable actor-friendly prices. I finished my session in about an hour, and we had a blast doing it! As someone who has as much experience in front of the camera as she does behind it, the results speak for themselves - I am extremely happy with the results, and will call on her again the next time the need arises. I can’t recommend her enough for your next photo shoot.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Holly Lynch. She made me feel comfortable from the beginning. The photoshoot that we did together was my favorite shoot yet! It was a lot of fun, lots of laughing. Her prices were unbeatable!! That same night she already edited two of my pictures!!! I love how fast I got my pictures back, SAME DAY! Not only did i get great pictures out of this experience i also gained a friend.”
CJ Hammond, Actor / Model / SINGER
"I have been one Holly’s luckiest customers I’d say. I’ve been shooting with her since her photography career began and I have always come back for updates and new looks… the biggest reason I always come back is because my agents & manger absolutely love her images because they (as well as Holly) know the looks that will get you in the casting office or on set. I believe in my talents and abilities when it comes to booking roles, but I also believe Holly’s shots give me a huge leg up when it comes to being seen.!"

"Holly Lynch is the best headshot photographer I have worked with in LA. Working with her is a true collaboration and she makes it a welcoming and warm working environment. Her approach is very chill and she listens to your vision for your headshots. You get your photos super fast and they look like YOU. Which I think is super important. Holly captures your true personality, her photos have gotten me some exciting opportunities! I won't work with another photographer again!"
NATALIE SAMPSON, ACTOR / FITNESS INSTRUCTOR
“Holly Lynch has been pivotal in allowing me to hit the ground running in the commercial acting world! I have done several shoots with Holly. The headshots from our first shoot got my foot in the door and quickly signed with an agency. Since then, we’ve added more looks to my portfolio. My agent loves them and best of all, I am getting auditions.
I always look forward to shooting with Holly! She is truly gifted! She has a way of making you feel comfortable just being yourself. I am always amazed when I see the shots. She captures your essence and all of the subtleties that make you who you truly are. The clarity and color are always on point, and Holly has the fastest turnaround of any photographer that I’ve ever worked with.
It’s a beautiful thing when you can work with someone who puts you at ease to play and be your authentic self!
Holly Lynch is my go-to photographer, and I am grateful to have found her!”

"I've had my picture taken by multiple professional photographers since the 80's from NY to Chicago and here in LA and while I got some great shots, NOTHING like this.

“I have worked with many photographers over the years as an actor/model and let me tell ya, I love working with Holly. I have done 3 shoots with her, two headshot sessions and one neon session. As an actor/model I know I need top-notch photos and content to best showcase myself, Holly delivers exactly that. I am blown away when I see just the raw images. She has a great eye at capturing people. I always have a hard time narrowing down my faves. She is nice and super easy to work with. I’ve known from personal experience that feeling comfortable or uncomfortable with the photographer reflects in the photos. Holly is awesome to work with...you will be in good hands. Her rates are also so affordable! I totally recommend Holly!!! You won’t be disappointed.”
JOHN ASHER, ACTOR / DIRECTOR / WRITER
“I was lucky enough to have Holly Lynch take my new headshots. She is a total pro that helped me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. This is the first time I’ve ever heard my agent say “These shots are amazing! They’re all so good we don’t know which one to pick.” Holly is the only one taking my headshots from now on!”
“I recently had my fist headshot photoshoot done and I couldn’t wait to share my experience working with Holly Lynch. I always wanted to do acting and decided to finally take the leap this year. I was referred to Holly by a trusted friend. I didn’t know what to expect, as all of this is new to me. Any nerves that I was feeling quickly vanished when I began working with her. Holly was friendly and made the experience fun. She was easy to talk to, making me feel relaxed and resulting in some amazing shots. Afterwards, Holly quickly delivered my photos allowing me to upload them to my Backstage profile. Soon after uploading my photos, I received three auditions and even booked one of them! Additionally after Holly posted my shots to her Instagram, an agency reached out to for a meeting. I’m so happy with my experience, I have referred other friends to Holly and I look forward to continue working with her in the future!
