hi, I’m Olivia
Meet Olivia Hernandez
I’m a student photographer based in San Luis Obispo, originally from Encinitas, 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 anything I could see. I bought my first DSLR in my sophomore year of high school and started filming for different 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!!

Olivia did a phenomenal job taking my grad photos at Morro Bay! She made the experience extremely memorable and we also had a lot of fun doing it! I would recommend her for anyone hoping to capture a moment!
