About Me.

Hello! My name is Olivia Medrano.

​

I am a photographer, videographer, editor, and kite flying hobbyist born and raised in the Kansas plains. Like the wide-open skies I grew up under, my passion for capturing moments knows no bounds. For me, photography and videography aren't just about the content in the frame; they're about telling a story, sparking a sense of wonder, and pulsing with vibrant energy. Whether I'm right in the middle of a high-energy shoot or quietly documenting a precious memory, my goal is always to create content that resonates and leaves a lasting impression.
