MADELYNN + BEN // “Olivia - from the both of our hearts we love you. You have been a friend of mine for many years and seeing you transform into this incredibly warm, powerful and kind human that takes fierce and challenging photos full of rawness and beauty has been amazing to witness. Having you be our wedding photographer was not even a question (I was willing to move my date to make it work with you even)! We admire you personally and professionally and that was very important for us to work with on our big day. You made us laugh, cry, hug and dance throughout the weekend keeping it light and joyous. The time you spent with us capturing the buildup and day off truly made my wedding photos tell a story. Joshua Tree sunset shoot with just Ben and I two days before the big day helped calm our nerves and bring us back to what this chaotic and pressure filled weekend was all about, just us and our love. From the meeting before the wedding to narrowing down what we wanted to express in the photos, to delivering them in a timely manner, working with you was a dream. You exceeded our expectations and we can not thank you enough. You caught the raw emotions and action spiraling around us on that day while focusing your lens on the secret hidden moments that make it so special. Thank you so much” -Madelynn + Ben

IZZY // “My experience being photographed by Olivia was pure magic. She has this innate ability to connect with people; seeing them for exactly who they are and capturing that on camera. I felt so seen, held, and given a space to express myself freely, without judgment and completely enveloped in love. I learned that I really do enjoy being photographed, so long as I feel comfortable to be my free and playful self which I immediately knew I could be around Olivia. Her work captures each individual so well, encapsulating their spirit in photograph, and I was truly emotional when I saw that she had captured me so deeply, like no one ever has before.

To be honest, I was nervous at first going into the experience, having no idea what to expect. As soon as we connected, all fear diminished, her energy so open and inviting. We felt like instant friends! Before our session, she asked me to journal some prompt questions and get in touch with my SELF to really see what I was hoping to honor and show up for when it came to our session. I really appreciated that container to get in touch with myself beforehand so I was even more comfortable. Olivia intuitively through talking over the phone, knew that my session should be held at the ocean before I even said it. That was serendipitous magic! Not only that, she also encouraged I create a personal music playlist that connects me to my spirit and soul, which helped me to get into my body and loosen up my mind through the day. I felt confident in a way I haven’t before during our session. The light we witnessed that evening and the light she saw in me was so powerful for me to truly embody my full goddess, as we danced and played together effortlessly in the forest and on the beach. Booking a Sacred Self Love Session with Olivia was one of the best things I decided to do on my spiritual journey and to deepen my connection to my self. I have already recommended her to many of my friends and will absolutely book another session with her in the future.” -Izzy


GRAYSON // “My Sacred Self Love Session with Olivia was food for my soul. Her energy with me from the first moment was so generous, so nourishing, so full of grace. The way she invited me into presence with myself and with her camera seemed effortless ... this simple presence was revelatory for me, especially considering the broken relationship I’d cultivated to being photographed. I felt transformed by the session itself, so receiving the actual photos was just like icing on the cake. So far, I’ve mainly chosen to keep them for myself, not out of shame but because I knew we made them for me... Olivia made that clear. Now, almost a year later, I find myself ready to come out of hiding in other areas of my life, and I’m finding these photos are helping me to do this. Thank you for sharing your gift, Olivia ... it is encouraging me to share mine.” -Grayson

FEY // “Olivia’s Sacred Self Love Sessions are a revolutionary dream to gift yourself from Beyond the Beyond. Fall in love with yourself, your unique beauty and medicine, and see that reflected in her capturing of your authentic essence. This experience is truly life changing and profound!

On the day of shooting my Sacred Self Love Session with Olivia, I felt as if I had climbed higher towards Spirit and Self Expression than I ever had before. Olivia held space for me to share what the Medicine of Fey Wolf Healing means to me, and in her own divinity was able to channel that into the vision of this shoot that I feel has captured it All. I was astounded and thrilled, riddled with ecstasy from beginning to end, as I felt her higher vision carrying us in that gentle yet fierce way that led magic into every shot. Olivia created safe and feminine space for me to unleash all that I felt was coming up to be explored. That is some Sacred Self Love magic, baby!” -Fey Wolf


JESSICA // "I hold my Sacred Self Love Session very close to my heart. Olivia creates an expansive, love-soaked container like no other photographer I've worked with before... The session was way more than a photoshoot. It was a space for me to design my own healing journey and unfold into it, and Olivia facilitated my unfolding so skillfully and with such ease and generosity. I was craving an opportunity to dance freely, in nature, and be witnessed in all my authentic expression. And that's exactly what we did. She took me out to a stunning spot in the Columbia River Gorge, and we played into the sunset. I danced barefoot to my favorite music. 

What made it even more meaningful for me was the fact that I had just left my full time job to go do my heart's work - mindfulness coaching. This shoot was a ceremony of sorts for me, a graceful transition into my new chapter. If you're in a transition of any kind in your life, or if you're simply seeking a space and opportunity to unfold into your deepest self-expression, I strongly recommend embarking this work with Olivia. She gently calls you into your divine highest energy, and invites you to play in your own spirit juice - no judgment, no reigns. Just lots of heart, spaciousness, and potential. I cannot wait for my next session.” -Jessica

RACHEL // “It’s been an incredible gift to have been showered in Olivia's Ashton's compassionate ever growing creative light since the first time we met, over three years ago. This beloved Woman holds a most beautiful frequency of love and care that she came to Earth to share. When I look closely into the energy of Olivia's lifes work I see time after time that she offers us all a powerful gift to be captured in our authenticity. I have had the personal pleasure to have been in closeness with this beautiful woman in many different ways. I've journeyed with her and her camera within some of the most monumental moments of my life. Olivia has held space to celebrate the growth of my own lifes work timeless amounts. I have seen her artistry touch sisters right before my eyes at our Retreats and in the light of the every day. She is the sweetest Creative with a passion to share into the depths of human and heart connections. I will never forget our Sacred Self Love session at the Colombia River Gorge. This was a powerful time for me as I was laying down many life transitional intentions and she was there to full heartedly capture my experience of merging into the sunset and revealing into the truest shades of my own beauty. Together we opened an experienced something "so much more" then our precious minds could have ever imagined. It was a soulful journey and for me personally it was a lifting of the veil.

I hold all images that this beloved sister has gifted my way as true treasures, they are my touch stones, pure medicine pieces representing the most personal symbols that empower my lifes path of sacred self love. “ -Rachel


HANNAH DYSON // “I have been so fortunate to work with Olivia multiple times - each, such a gift and an experience I'll forever treasure. First, with our For Women Who Want To Change The World immersion in Costa Rica, Olivia's keen eye captured the most magical moments without ever feeling intrusive — this is such an art-form! Her Sacred Self Love Sessions were an incredible way to close the experience, for each participant being able to self express authentically and also come away with professional photos for their businesses. Then for Soul Seed Gathering Chapter 2 in Colombia, Olivia was once again able to capture the essence of the experience, remaining sensitive to the indigenous Kogi women, the sacred work taking place, and making all feel comfortable and at ease with her lens.

Olivia is not only a world-class photographer but an incredible light and source of good energy to be around - so much so, that I am so excited I get to work with her again, not only in the capacity as a photographer but as a supportive space holder in our up-coming silent retreat. So grateful to know her and consider her a friend and colleague. She is one of a kind.” -Hannah
