Leading with empathy
Fostering authentic moments with expert prompting
This is me (Olivia), the face behind the camera.
Just how long have I been working with cameras?
I was 12 here.
That was my first "big girl" camera, a Canon Rebel t2i. Luckily, my photos have gotten a little more sophisticated than taking pictures of my Starbucks and movie theater glasses. In the time since this picture, I have acquired over a decade of experience with photography. I have explored every niche and every setting on my camera.
Now, I have the privilege of being paid to use my cameras (now a Canon R5 and R6). But photography is not merely about cameras. It's about being able to capture a moment and bring it to life. It's understanding the essence of the person you are shooting. It's a sense of passion and creativity that will drive you to go an extra mile for the shot.
At Olivia Thiel Photography, we provide photography services tailored to your needs—whether it’s a wedding, special event, portrait session, or branding project. Our team is committed to delivering both professionalism and artistry, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Every story is unique, and we take pride in capturing yours with authenticity, creativity, and care.
The NJ/NY/PA metro area is diverse in many ways, and naturally my portfolio has come to represent that. If you're looking for a photographer that is inclusive of different races, cultures, and body types, and is LGBTQ+ affirming, I am the right person for you.
Now that you know about me, let's learn about you and what you'd like me to capture!
