about me

i'm so glad you're here!

hey, i'm

OLIVIA

I was born & raised on Hilton Head Island, SC, and am now located in Charleston, SC. I am a beach bum at heart! 

Nostalgia is my jam. I thrive on those sweet memories that warm the heart and bring a smile to your face. Through my lens, I aim to freeze those moments in time, so you can relive them over and over again. 

My photography experience is all over the map but, it started ​with my love for film photography! I used to take photos on an old Minolta and spend hours in the dark room. I would drag my friends around and make them pose EVERYWHERE, just to get the shot I envisioned. 

My deep passion for photography has been non-stop ever since!
