Hi, I'm Liv!

Wedding, Senior + Lifestyle photographer in Minnesota and beyond

 

I am so happy you found your way here!


Welcome to Liv and A Lens Photography. As your photographer, my goal is to allow you to be yourself while I capture all the best parts. I believe the best photos happen when we're having fun, because life is whatever we make of it! Expect a good time, some OK jokes (bonus points if you laugh at them), and a relaxed experience where you get to be you. The best part? You will end with a full gallery of photos you will love forever. Trust me, the only person who wants stunning photos, besides you, is me!

Kind words
Family of six walking together on a path surrounded by golden autumn foliage.

"We absolutely love working with Olivia! She has taken our family pictures twice now and we fell in love with her work both times. She not only picked beautiful locations for our sessions, but she also gave us a variety of poses/backgrounds within those sessions. We felt totally comfortable with Olivia and she never made us feel rushed. She was able to capture each of our kiddos' true personalities through her photography. We can't wait to work with Olivia again!"

"I saw Liv's photography through mutual friends, and reached out to book. I was super nervous with someone taking pictures of me by myself, but her bubble personality made the experience so fun and easygoing! I was laughing the whole time. She was so understanding and willing to accommodate whatever I wanted to do. A bonus was she let me bring as many outfits as I wanted! Liv is great!"

Madison Grunst

Let's connect

 

Every session is more than a photoshoot—it’s an experience, a chance to celebrate life and capture it exactly as it is, with all its energy, emotion, and personality. Your life, your story, and your essence deserve to be seen in a way that’s natural, intentional, and unforgettable. That’s what I strive to do with every click of the camera.
