your go-to, west michigan photographer
The Middle Root represents creating, connecting and documenting. I believe the middle moments throughout your life are important, they’re part of your story and they deserve to be remembered.
Your story is one-of-a-kind, and I’m here to soak it all in with you. I don’t just want to capture your wedding day – I want to document this whole season of life, with all the laughs, tears, and those little moments that make your love so real. With me, you get a laid-back photographer. We’ll keep it easy and fun, letting the authentic moments unfold naturally. No stiff poses, just real emotions and the kind of photos that feel like you. Together, we’ll create a visual story that’s full of heart and totally true to who you are.

9
years of sign languaage interpreting

year as a mama
My journey started in Michigan, where I grew up alongside the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan. The natural beauty of the Great Lakes has always held a special place in my heart.
After college, a summer in Colorado turned into seven years of adventure and growth. Recently, my husband and I decided to return to Michigan to raise our family and create a new home.
For the past several years, I've worked as a sign language interpreter, which has allowed me to connect with the Deaf community in meaningful ways. When I’m not behind the camera or interpreting, I love spending time with my family—my husband, our son, and our dog. We love exploring the outdoors, whether it’s camping, hiking, or relaxing at the beach. You’ll often find me with a beverage in hand, enjoying good conversation and the company of friends and family.
Becoming a new mom has been a transformative experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to balance motherhood with my love for photography and documenting the moments that matter most to you.
xx, Olivia
"Olivia was attentive to every detail and so patient and kind through the whole process.
They captured my wedding day perfectly and every single picture came out stunning. I cannot say enough about how much I loved working with middle root photography. Booking wedding vendors can be stressful, but Olivia was so helpful and her pictures are truly stunning!"

We absolutely loved having Olivia shoot our Wedding!! The day was such a whirlwind, and I am so amazed at how well she documented our special day. Working with her was very easy. She allowed us to have our input while also offering expert advice! She was flexible with our all needs and requests. I would definitely recommend her for your next big photo shoot!!!"
