The artist
hi, I’m Olivia
Meet Olivia Hernandez
I’m a college student photographer based in San Luis Obispo, California. Photography has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl, and my hope is to bring kindness and a touch of magic to every client’s experience.
I used to beg my mom to borrow her phone so I could take pictures of nature. I bought my first DSLR in my sophomore year of high school and started filming for our sports teams. My freshman year at Cal Poly, I photographed graduating seniors for the first time, and I’ve loved capturing big moments ever since.
I believe in spreading kindness to everyone I meet, and I aim to be a vessel for God, shining His light through my actions and words.
When I love something, I truly put my heart and soul into it.

Olivia was the absolute best!
She was super helpful with talking us through posing and she even came prepared to the shoot with multiple pose ideas and options. She was very aware as well, making sure that our hair was in the right place and the lighting was perfect. After the shoot she got our pictures to us very quickly and made sharing the photos easy. I took two sets of graduation photos with her, and if I need pictures for any other occasion she would 100% be my go to!!
