Olivia - Aurora High School

With her softspoken demeanor, you may be under the impression Olivia is meek and passive but that would be a wrong assumption. This girl has jumped from airplanes! She graduated early from Aurora High School and is currently serving her country in the Air Force. Her assignment there is photojournalism! She’s clearly not afraid of adventure or putting herself out there.

Olivia is a girl with cool, edgy confidence that was sooooo fun to photograph as a member of the BND MOD Squad!

In addition to her warm-up, in-studio shoot we did two long sessions to cover all the concepts she wanted. Our first full shoot was summertime in Joplin. We began downtown with graffiti and an abandoned parking garage and then moved to Grand Falls. Her second session was shot downtown Springfield and explored coffee shops, record stores, and the city streets at night with her car and smoke bombs. Of course, we honored her military service as well!

Here are only a FEW of our favorites!

Be sure to leave Olivia a note in the comments below thanking her for her service to our country!!
