Nell Hoving is a commercial freelance photographer with 20+ years of industry experience. She specializes in product, portrait, and architectural photography as well as high profile corporate and political events. 

Nell's style of photography is quick and confident while keeping high quality consistency. She can roll out hundreds of shots in a short amount of time, making her the ideal photographer for clients with bulk product, repetitive setups, or clients needing quality, non invasive, candid captures in a high profile setting. 

Over the years, Nell has had the opportunity to photograph high level executives, top restaurateurs, professional athletes, actors, and politicians, including Governor Shapiro, Senator Warren, President Clinton, President Obama, and the late Beau Biden. Nell has been listed as one of the top product photographers in Philadelphia and her former Philadelphia photo studio was highlighted in the "You Wish You Worked Here" series by Philadelphia Magazine. 

During the pandemic, Nell let go of her Philadelphia photo studio, and in 2023, she and her father built a photo studio off of her home in Glen Mills, PA. When she's not behind the camera, Nell can be found at the yoga studio, hanging out with her two amazing kids, and enjoying time spent with friends and family.
