I’M Liv, THE CREATIVE BEHIND THE LENS.
I was that kid with a camera for as long as I can remember. After graduating high school in 2016 I began at a university in the exercise science field. I eventually shifted away from it and rediscovered my hobby in the meantime. I started this business at just 19 years old. At the time I was still in school, photographing and working two jobs. In 2018 I began renting out a studio that I happily had the duration of my career in Pennsylvania. In 2019 I went FULL TIME photographing and being a sole proprietor! Less than perfect timing as we got rocked by a global pandemic just a few months later.
Post pandemic is where I really began to soar. I was taking a wide variety of sessions, both indoors and out. I worked very close with my community on events and local spotlights. I started traveling out of state for weddings in 2021 and decided it was time for me to take my business to the next level. Couples are my absolute favorite to work with, and I wanted to center my focus on them as well as the idea of adventurous elopements. Tennessee was my home the last few years before deciding to return to original client base in PA. While there, I learned a lot about the travel industry and adventurous living. We will quickly become friends and capture an entire gallery of precious memories to last a life time.
