Liv Tiernan First exposed to the wonders of photography through a black and white film class in high school , Tiernan began her artistic journey of using images rather than words to express the moment and tell her subjects ’ story . As a constant observer of light , she loves to incorporate it as a way of helping convey the emotion of a moment and to illuminate the connection of her subjects . She spends her days photographing children and families , with a special focus on motherhood . Her role as a photographer is to be the storyteller of your family ’ s life and freeze those childhood moments that pass us by far too quickly . When not creating memories for other families , her favorite place to be is at home with her own family . Her greatest joy is being behind the camera capturing life , family and love for others .
