KOrey Howell
Creative Director
Founder, creative director, and only sometimes photographer, and with over 30 years’ experience, Korey is the first to laugh at her own jokes and hopes you will, too!
Korey has been described as talented, energetic, and dedicated. She got her start in the photography business in 1990 with a mall-based glamour photography franchise company that she grew to 20 franchises nationwide.
A graduate of The University of Texas, Korey calls Austin home with her husband, Christopher. Korey is most comfortable in jeans, loves coffee and Netflix, and if you ask her about her dogs, be prepared for a 20-minute slideshow on her phone!
She often turns her focus to the community to support organizations such as Young Women’s Alliance, Girl Scouts of Central Texas, Susan G. Komen, Texas Humane Heroes, and The American Heart Association.
She is also not afraid to speak in public and will take the microphone whenever she is given a chance to educate fellow women entrepreneurs.
Olympia Roll
B.F.A Lead Photographer
A ten-year veteran of Korey Howell Photography, Olympia is so much cooler than Korey. 😉 She will put you at ease and get great shots of you before you even notice.
Being born and raised in Austin Texas, Olympia surrounded herself with creativity in as many ways as she could find. She enjoys sewing, crocheting, movies, cross-stitching, and most of all being a mother, in addition to her many talents in the photography world.
Olympia received a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from the Art Institute of Austin. Her skills include Digital Photography, Film Photography, and Digital Retouching.
Olympia feeds her creative soul with her fine art photography, telling stories of strength and feminism through beautiful imagery.
Outside of work, Olympia enjoys spoiling her dog, Pixie! And watching Battlestar Galactica – the new version. She also has THE cutest toddler you have ever seen in your whole life, @lilmissmeadow on IG

Everyone can benefit from a little pre-shoot grooming. Whether it is a full-on makeup application including false lashes or as simple as an evening out the skin, removing shine, beard, and brow grooming to just a once over with a lint roller, you will feel camera ready.
