I'm so glad you're here! Being comfortable in front of the camera is bunches easier when you vibe with your photographer. I hope after reading a little about me, you'll feel as if we're already friends!
My love for photography comes from studying old Polaroids of my dad and his travels. Even in black and white, those photos told stories. My goal as a photographer is to tell a story without words.
I started my journey as a photographer in the passenger seat of a farm truck. The stars of my early sessions were cows! Soon after, I decided to offer my photography skills to the public and that started the beginnings of Olivia Chmelik Photography. Along the way, I have added numerous weddings, rodeos, and lifestyle sessions to my portfolio!
My dream job is to be a published National Geographic photo-journalist. If you asked me this question as a child, the answer would've been Rodeo Clown.
I LOVE animals. Like really love animals. I have 4 dogs, 2 cats, 7 horses, and a goat named Billy Nelson.
I'm an avid hunter and outdoors woman. I hope to offer wildlife prints soon!

"Olivia worked tirelessly to make my engagement and wedding pictures perfectly capture "us" on our family farm. Where we plan to spend the rest of our days. There aren't enough words to describe our gratitude to her and her efforts in making our big day so special."

"On a last minute whim before the leaves fell, I reached out and asked Olivia to come out to my place to shoot some lifestyle/marketing pictures of me for my real estate business! I shared with her my insecurities as well as my love for the beauty of all the warm fall colors...We got so much great content in only an hour! I'll for sure be using Olivia again!"
