As a former professional photographer Linda Holt is no stranger to merging her creative eye with aesthetic appeal, having worked with more than than 5,000 celebrities, actors and models as one of Boston's top commercial head shot photographers. After 25 years in the business, she closed up her photography studio and enrolled in Design School. Today she uses her skilled photographic eye to help homeowners create a stylish, fresh and relaxed home that is reflective of their unique personality and lifestyle.

Over the past few years Linda put aside her heavy DSLR cameras and now shoots exclusively with her iphone and Samsung phone. She has become an expert in both smartphone photography and smartphone photo editing. After much encouragement, Linda combined her two passions of design and photography in order to help other designers master their smartphone photography skills. She is the creator of the on-line classes “Smartphone Photography for Interior Designers” ,“Better iPhone Photos” and “How to Photograph Your Short Term Rental Using the Smartphone”.
