Hold Still is a photography service centered on honest, timeless moments with a calm, intentional feel. The focus is on natural images that feel effortless and real -  meant to be lived with, not just looked at.

The images shown in the Portfolio are largely candid moments, captured naturally, without forced poses or interruption. While this style reflects authenticity, Hold Still also offers full professional photography services, thoughtfully guided to meet the needs of each client and project.

All photos are captured using both an iPhone and a professional Nikon camera, allowing for flexibility between spontaneous, candid moments and high-quality, polished imagery.

Hold Still also offers instructional design work, creating clear, thoughtful learning experiences for digital and in-person use. Projects focus on structure, clarity, and visual storytelling to make complex information approachable and engaging. Example modules shown below are created through Articulate and Adobe Creative Suite.
