Olivia was incredible to work with from start to finish! I gave her my vision & she made it come to life better than I could’ve imagined. We cannot wait to have her on our special day!

"I always have a great time working with Olivia, she always makes me laugh and manages to capture the candid moments that I love! She came prepared with poses but also was willing to recreate poses that I saw or wanted to try!"

EMILY & CARSON

After waiting years to get pictures, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to capture who we are.

Tori & Jessie

The best!! Had so many fun ideas. Very flexible. Smooth process, executed my vision perfectly! She was easy to work with and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire session. The photos exceeded our expectations and we will cherish them for years!

I had the absolute best time getting my pictures done with Liv; she made my boyfriend & I feel super comfortable and made the overall experience such a blast! Liv is highly talented and I will be coming back to her to get all my pictures done. I couldn’t ask for a better experience and a better photographer!!

FAQ

What types of photography services do you offer?

I offer a wide range of photography services, including wedding photography, portrait photography (including family photography and branding). If you have ideas outside of my listed services, let's chat; let's see what we can do!

How do I book a photography session with you?

Booking a photography session is easy! Simply reach out to me through my email, phone, or on the "contact" page. Let me know the type of session you're interested in. I'll guide you through the process, discuss pricing and contracts, and find a convenient date and time for your session.

Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?

Absolutely! I believe that location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at your home, a scenic outdoor location, or a venue of your choice, I'm open to capturing your portraits in a place that you love and feel comfortable at.

I don't know what to wear. What do you suggest?

What's more important is what not to wear. Steer clear of bright, neon, or distracting colors. Sometimes these colors reflect onto other surfaces such as your skin and may look unflattering. I always recommend wearing outfits that make you feel confident, comfortable, and true to yourself. Neutral tones, soft colors, and simple patterns photograph beautifully and allow the focus to stay on your connection. Flowy dresses, layered textures, and well-fitted clothing can add depth and movement to your photos.

How long does a typical photo session last?

The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type of shoot you want and the package you want (if applicable). Portrait sessions typically range anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, while weddings can span several hours. I strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments and ensure you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the session.

I happen to feel uncomfortable in front of a camera; how do you help with this?

I know being photographed can feel a little intimidating at first, but my goal is to make the experience easy, natural, and even fun. I’ll give you gentle direction when needed—like how to stand or where to place your hands—but I’ll never force stiff or unnatural poses. Instead, I focus on creating moments that feel real, whether that’s walking together, sharing a quiet laugh, or simply holding each other close.

I like to keep things lighthearted, so there will be plenty of laughs along the way. Many couples tell me it feels less like a photo shoot and more like spending time together while I just happen to be there with a camera. By the end, you’ll be surprised at how relaxed you feel—and how much the photos reflect your genuine connection.

How long does it take to receive my photos?

I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. Weddings will have about a 5-6 week turnaround. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations. But if I have absolutely nothing taking up my time, you could receive your photos within 48 hours!

When is the best time to book the session type i want?

Photography is not a one-size-fits-all deal. You can really have any shoot whenever you want, especially if you are looking for a studio environment. But I have a very in-depth document that lays out what the most common months, days, and even the best times of day for each kind of session. I even take Central Time daylight savings into account! Check it out HERE!

What happens if I need to reschedule?

As long as you let me know as soon as you can, we will find another day; however, anything within 24 hours before the shoot may incur a "last minute rescheduling" fee. I understand last minute changes happen, but there is a lot of preparation that goes into getting ready for each session. As for weather, if it doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss other alternatives first such as finding an indoor location.

Will you travel for sessions or weddings?

I would LOVE to! I typically will not charge for any wedding within the State of Missouri. However, other sessions may incur a travel fee to put towards gas costs. Anything outside of the State of Missouri will definitely have a travel fee, but I will always strive to seek out the cheapest way to get to where you need me to be. If that means having an 8 hour layover just to save you a couple hundred dollars, I will do it!
