Lovely to meet you!


I'm Olivia Myska

But you can call me Liv!


That's what all the people near and dear to my heart call me and I want us to have that type of connection too!


A little about myself...


I am 23-years old and originally from St. Louis, Missouri.


I graduated high school in the COVID-19-stricken year of 2020 and went on to get my Associate's Degree in Fine Arts-Graphic Design in 2022, and finally my Bachelor's Degree in Journalism in 2025. I was a staff photographer and photo editor for the Columbia Missourian newspaper my senior year and fell more in love with photography than when I did initially from taking yearbook my senior year of high school.


My goal is to approach your photos from a fly-on-the-wall, documentary-style perspective capturing the candid, quiet moments rather than stiff and too posed.

My favorite concert ever was Post Malone— it stormed and the venue parking lot flooded—I literally think about it monthly


My wedding Approach

 

Your wedding day isn’t just about the big moments—it’s about the quiet, fleeting ones too. The way your partner squeezes your hand before you walk down the aisle. The tears your loved ones try to hide. The laughter that bubbles up when something doesn’t go exactly as planned. My approach to photography is about noticing those moments and preserving them in a way that feels true to you.


I believe the best photos are the ones that tell a story. Instead of overly posed images, I focus on capturing the emotions and connections that make your day unique. From the intimate details to the grand celebrations, I want your photos to reflect the real, unscripted beauty of the moment—so when you look back years from now, you’ll be transported right back into those memories.


At the same time, I know how important it is to create portraits you’ll treasure. I’ll guide you when needed, helping you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, while still leaving room for your personalities and your love to shine through.



For me, photography is more than just documenting—it’s storytelling. Whether it’s your wedding, an engagement, or a family session, my goal is always the same: to create images that not only show how life looked, but how it felt. Because every season of your story deserves to be remembered in all its joy, intimacy, and authenticity.
