ZOEY HOLMSTROM PHOTO

Preserving your joy for a lifetime

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Zoey — a Chicago-based photographer with a big passion for storytelling.

We all deserve to have our precious moments captured. At my core, I care deeply about telling the stories of others and celebrating life! I’m here to preserve your memories in a way that’s true to you and your loved ones, and making being in front of the camera feel effortless and fun.

Ever heard the phrase, “Be your authentic self?” That’s what I capture in my photography – images that are true to you and your loved ones. My photography style leans heavily into documentary and candid captures, inspired by where I got my start: photojournalism.

Being in front of the camera doesn’t have to be scary! I make sure you feel calm, cool, and collected as I document moments of your beautiful life.
