About
I’m endlessly inspired by people - the way love shows up in the quiet gestures, the shared laughter, the moments that pass quickly but mean everything.
The wind catching your veil.
A hand reaching for yours without thinking.
The kind of moments you don’t plan - but never want to forget.
That’s what I’m drawn to.
When you work with me, there’s no pressure to perform or be anything other than yourselves.
I’ll guide you when you need it, but most of the time, I’m simply there to witness, letting things unfold naturally, honestly, and beautifully imperfect.
I’m calm, present, and deeply tuned into the in-between moments. The ones that often go unnoticed, but end up meaning the most.
My role isn’t just to take photos. It’s to help you feel at ease, connected, and truly seen.
Whether you’re celebrating with all your people, running off into the mountains, or holding something small and quiet close to your heart. I’ll be there, documenting it exactly as it felt.
Fully. Genuinely. Without forcing a thing.
This is your story and I’m here to preserve it in a way that feels like you.
The little things about me:
- I’m a mom of three, which means I feel deeply how fast time moves and why these moments matter
- I went to school for archaeology (basically a lifelong reminder that stories, past and present, are everything)
- I’ve travelled to 44 countries and still feel in awe of the world every time I step somewhere new
- I speak two languages and am slowly working on a third
- Slow mornings, good conversation, and breakfast food are my kind of perfect
- Thrifting is my version of therapy
- Lattes will always have my heart
- And my top three loves all start with P: photography, pasta, and poutine

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect photographer than Liv for our destination wedding in Italy.
Not only did Liv join us in Italy for our wedding but she also shot our legal ceremony and our wedding celebration in Edmonton after our Europe trip. Every event was special, unique from the other and she was able to capture the special moments from each wedding event with perfection.

Liv, WOW. So many great things to say.
I have never had an experience with a photographer like I have with her, she is professional, personal and overall a kind and amazing human.
She took two photo newbies and made us models - from the engagement session to our wedding day, my husband and I felt safe to be silly and awkward when we were.
Liv was my first Boudoir shoot EVER and I am speechless about the whole experience. I was nervous at first as I had never done that before but she knew what she was doing

My wife and I could not have been happier booking Liv as our photographer. A wedding day is one of those days that passes by SO quick that you just cant take it all in but to see Liv share sneak peaks, we get to relive those memories over and over again. The style, the hustle carrying multiple devices, the way she was involved and how helpful she was, I just cannot imagine anyone better to handle this perfect day. One of the best photographers, if not THE BEST!

Liv is an excellent photographer who genuinely cares for her clients. We had an Indian wedding, so we had a few events held leading up to our special day. Liv was present at our engagement shoot, Haldi ceremony, Mehendi ceremony and the wedding day. Liv not only takes amazing photos, but she is also fantastic at giving directions and noticing the fine details that can enhance each and every picture she takes. Along with her professionalism, Liv is also a caring person.

Liv was so lovely to work with on our wedding day. I appreciated that she was cool, calm, collected and knew exactly what she was doing. It was helpful for me to have her tell me what to do and offered so many suggestions! We had a great time laughing over some quirks of our wedding day and Liv was just so sweet. Liv also stayed a bit past her cut-off time to get us some extra photos of our dance party which was completely unexpected and such a nice surprise. Thanks for everything, Liv!!!

I need to start this off by saying if you are thinking about booking with Liv do it !!!! Don’t hesitate!!! You will have no regrets and here’s why. In the photos from my wedding she captured stories from my childhood in faces and smiles. She captured the feeling of one of grandmas big hugs. She captured the love and warmth of the butterflies I felt. She captured emotions in interactions I never ever want to forget. She did that. That’s all you Liv! I cherish my photos so much!

Best decision we made was hiring Liv for our wedding photography.
She is accommodative, a great person and extremely talented. She was the perfect balance of professional and down to earth.
I asked my husband what he would say about Liv and he said this, “she’s almost instinctual with a camera in her hand and has the ability to see light and objects in a way us normal folk cannot”.
Thank you Liv for EVERYTHING.

Liv is an absolute wizard at what she does. She went above and beyond our expectations in carefully guiding us through our photo shoot, to editing our photos in her own beautifully unique style, giving us the best product possible. We actually couldn't get our original shoot location at first and she even went the extra mile, persistently calling the location to get it for us outside of their actual work hours. She's a star and is a blessing for us to have shot with her!!! 5 stars is too little for how amaz
