About
Holly Lepere photographs architecture, interiors, and landscape with a refined eye for atmosphere, detail, and design story.
"Good design expressed in color and line is always irresistible to me."
Holly Lepere is a Santa Barbara-based photographer whose work centers on architecture, interiors, landscape, and refined design environments. A graduate of Brooks Institute, she began her career as an in-house advertising photographer at JCPenney’s corporate headquarters, an experience that shaped her understanding of photography as both craft and communication.
Holly collaborates closely with architects, interior designers, landscape designers, design brands, and publications to create intimate, detail-rich photographs that translate completed projects into editorial, marketing, and brand imagery. Her images reflect the atmosphere and quiet character of a place while honoring the vision, care, and imagination behind each project.
Her book projects include Private Gardens of Santa Barbara and the forthcoming Private Homes of Santa Barbara, scheduled for release in fall 2026. Holly brings a distinct West Coast sensibility to images that help clients share the beauty, atmosphere, and intention of their work.
