Midwest Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer

 

One photographer,
every season of life

 

 

There is no such thing as "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to capturing YOUR life's memories. I'm dedicated to creating a personalized, memorable gallery AND experience.

 

 

For Every Season of Life

 

 

Weddings

Timeless and true-to-you. That's my goal.

 

 

My approach to photography is a balance of guided posing and an eye for candid moments. You can expect your images to be edited true-to-color with a warm nostalgic glow. One of the things I hear most often from clients is "I don't know how to pose," or "I'm so awkward in front of a camera." Trust me, you're not alone. I come to every session prepared to guide you and make sure you know what to do with your hands. Posing you is practically second nature. I strive to keep our time together laid back and fun. Before you know it, you'll be laughing, making memories, and forgetting the camera is even there.

THe experience

Hi, I'm Olivia Venable. Better known as Livi.

I can't wait to connect!

KIND WORDS

Olivia is so sweet and did such an amazing job with our maternity photos. We ended up having to reschedule our session because of a snow storm, and there were several layers of logistics involved with the studio and such and she handled everything so professionally and was quick to communicate with us and accommodate our short timeline. She also did a great job working with our very distracted and energetic two year old.

We could not have asked for a more perfect outcome! The pictures captured so many sweet moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. She didn’t just take pictures, she froze time in this chapter of our lives so we can always look back on it! Highly recommend!

The Ryans

Olivia was the best photographer! She kept my six month old engaged and brought my vision to life. If you want to have photos that show your kid’s personalities, Olivia is THE photographer.

Testimonials

I have had photos done by Olivia twice and both times she delivered fantastic photos along with a great experience. I am a bit shy and awkward especially when it comes to photos but she is great about telling you how to pose and making you feel comfortable during the experience. I will ALWAYS use livi Lou photos, she is awesome!!

Rosie W.

Livi did photos for me twice and then my husband and I decided we wanted her to be the one to do our wedding photographs!  I would highly recommend booking her for any of your photo needs!

Emma & Dylan

Livi did my best friend and I’s college graduation photos! She traveled 3 hours both ways to come do them for us and they turned out amazing!! She had a handful of poses for us to do, it was super nice to not have to think about what to do. The photos were amazing and her editing style is very natural looking!
