Eleanor

2012-01-07T23:09:00.000-05:00

I photographed the Callow family last summer, a few weeks before little Ellie was born. I was so lucky to return to meet this sweet girl and get some holiday family photos. She is so beautiful and was so easy to photograph. What an amazing little family they have!

Mockler Family

2012-01-07T22:45:00.000-05:00

We got to take some photos of my best friend's family while visiting Montreal last November. I am just able to share now, since she was surprising some family with the photos. Love these guys so much!

Sneak Peak: Penny's Big Day!

2011-12-14T19:58:00.000-05:00

2011-12-14T19:56:00.001-05:00

A quick sneak peak of sweet little Eleanor. She was such a sweet little girl - more photos to come!

Baby Callow

2011-09-14T21:49:00.001-04:00

I was very privileged to photograph an amazing new family about a month ago and capture the love and excitement around their new addition! Can't wait to meet little girl Callow very soon.

Scott and Laura

2011-08-20T12:58:00.000-04:00

We have been busy lately - lots of fun shoots over the last few weeks! We finally got to finish the photos of Scott and Laura we took a few weeks ago. Wedding is next spring in Texas! Love you little brother (and sister-to-be)!

Sneak Peak: Janine and Mike

2011-08-15T23:05:00.000-04:00

Sneak Peak: Baby Callow

2011-08-15T21:23:00.000-04:00

A quick sneak peak of a maternity shoot I did on Sunday. Amy and Stuart were so great to work with and I am so happy they are weeks away from welcoming their little girl! Congrats to the momma- and daddy-to-be!

Baby Olivia

2011-08-11T21:08:00.000-04:00

I photographed the sweetest little girl a few weeks ago - 8 month old, Olivia. She was so happy, calm and unbelievably adorable. I can barely remember Milo at this age and it wasn't that long ago!

Demond Green

2011-08-09T20:31:00.000-04:00

I was given the opportunity to photograph a long-time friend of mine, Broadway actor Demond Green, last week. He's been a pleasure to work with through any medium for as long as I've known him and I'm grateful that he afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with him again. Thanks, Demond!

Sneak Peak: Casual shoot with the Mocklers

2011-08-02T20:47:00.002-04:00

I got to photograph an amazing couple a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share a few photos of their special day before we head on family vacation. More to come in a few weeks!

Geftman-Golds!

2011-04-26T20:49:00.000-04:00

I got to photograph our good friends Hayley, Ryan and Milo a few weeks ago. We wanted to get some family photos right after Milo's first birthday, so we took some at their home (with their puppy, Buffy) and then went out to Pierrepont Playground in Brooklyn Heights. Loved photographing this awesome little family!

Baby Penny

2011-02-15T20:18:00.000-05:00

Back into the swing of things! I have done very few shoots since Milo was born, but had the opportunity to photograph a friend's new little family. Baby Penny is 8 weeks old and a complete doll. I love that her little personality is starting to come out!

Otherwise occupied...

2010-06-17T07:39:00.000-04:00

Being parents to a three month old baby is hard work! We haven't done much with Oliver Pictures lately, but don't forget about us - photography is still such a huge part of both of our lives!

Keep up with Milo and see recent photos on his blog.

New addition to Oliver Pictures

2010-03-27T05:28:00.000-04:00

2009-10-17T18:37:00.012-04:00

Chris and I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing a wedding of our great friends, Scott and Jeremy, last weekend. While we process all the shots we took at the wedding, we wanted to share some images from the rehearsal dinner.

Life update

2009-10-09T20:04:00.007-04:00

So... in case you haven't heard, Chris and I are having a baby! I am 16 weeks along and feeling great - due at the end of March. Say hello to the Olive!

Enzo loves my new lens

2009-06-27T19:01:00.007-04:00

I got a new lens a few weeks ago (fixed 50mm, 1.4) and used Enzo as my model... per usual. As you can tell, he loves it.

Bad blogger

2009-06-10T21:30:00.001-04:00

I haven't posted in two weeks - so bad! I will try and post some in the next several days ... my buddy Sammie is having her birthday weekend and we should have some fun photos!

Texas Stories... Brizell Compound

2009-05-21T00:28:00.010-04:00

Chris and I are in Texas for a week visiting Austin, the Dallas area, and East Texas.

My parents have lake property south of Ft. Worth and plan on building their dream house there over the next several years. Here are some shots from the city nearby (Grandbury), their land, and my husband and brother on the ATV (I rode as well, but no photos)...

No longer barren

2009-05-07T22:26:00.006-04:00

There are finally leaves on the trees in the NY area. All it took was 3 weeks of nonstop rain!!

Prom 1984

2009-04-25T21:09:00.008-04:00

Two of my close friends, Sammie and Jacob, went to an 80's prom last night and I was the yearbook photographer selected for this event...
I jammed all afternoon to 80's music getting the photos for these two posts together!

Barry and Susan

2009-04-25T20:02:00.000-04:00

Chris and I did our first husband-wife shoot with some of our closest friends, Barry and Susan, a few weeks ago in New York... Despite the crappy weather, we had a great time!

Sneak Preview: Barry and Susan

2009-04-11T23:15:00.004-04:00

Chris and I photographed our close friends, Barry and Susan, last weekend while they were in NY for a visit. They are getting married this fall in Austin.

We wanted to give you a sneak peak of the photos to come... This is by far the best shot of day; we feel that it really captures their love for each other.

Flowers in NY continued...

2009-04-11T18:53:00.002-04:00

Some beautiful tulips in the Upper East Side that we found last weekend, when Barry and Susan were visiting.

Spring via iphone

2009-04-02T08:20:00.000-04:00

I have been wanting to photograph the daffodils in the park all week, but have not been with camera during daylight hours (work has been busy this week!) So, prepare yourself for the masterpiece that is my iphone daffodil photo!!

Guitar Awesome-ness

2009-03-26T22:50:00.003-04:00

Had some friends over tonight for some dinner and Guitar Hero! Some action shots of the crew rockin' out to some Slayer and Metallica!

Daylight savings...

2009-03-25T21:16:00.000-04:00

I am so happy that I can take photos in the park at 7:20pm with available light... Spring is on it's way!

As you can see from my recent posts, I am trying to be better about updating my blog - to keep friends and family, near and far, updated with my life. I hope to post at least once a week, so check back often!

Jacob Jiles and Eleanor Whitmore at Pete's

2009-03-23T20:00:00.007-04:00

I had a great music-filled Saturday night, with Eleanor Whitmore and Jacob Jiles (with a little help from Ishaq Clayton) playing at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn. An amazing venue, amazing music, and amazing friends...

Visit to Montreal: PJ

2009-03-22T21:56:00.013-04:00

I am finally beginning to catch up on posting some photos from the past month. Chris and I made a trip up to Montreal to visit the Mocklers and I of course had to take some photos of PJ! Current obsessions - trampolines, sparkle "tap" shoes, and Uncle Chris.

I will post some photos soon from Pete's Candy Store this past weekend.

Allison and Lance

2009-03-21T18:27:00.030-04:00

Allison and Lance had a beautiful wedding last month and were surrounded by their amazing friends and family. Congratulations on your new family!

Snow Day!

2009-03-02T08:53:00.010-05:00

I got an unexpected surprise day off yesterday, because of the awesome winter storm that has hit the north east! Here are some photos (with the point and shoot) of the huge amounts of snow that hit us (over 8 inches)!

Enzo is really loving the snow (he loves chasing you and eats the snow), but doesn't like that it is cold!

Winter in New York

2009-01-19T13:32:00.008-05:00

We have really enjoyed the snow storms in the last few weeks and I finally took some shots of our winter weather this morning (with my photo assistant, Enzo).

(Enzo is wondering why I am taking so long when it is below 30 degrees)

... And we're back

2009-01-04T11:16:00.001-05:00

The site is finally back up and I hope to add some new images and update it some more in the next few days!! Hooray!

Happy Holidays!

2008-12-23T16:53:00.014-05:00

Happy Holidays to everyone! We have definitely had winter weather in NY the past few days and it feels like Christmas! Here are some lovely point and shoot shots of us in the snow!

I am working on getting my site up over the holidays, so it will be new and improved for 2009!!

www.mysiteisdown.com

2008-12-08T20:23:00.001-05:00

My site is down temporarily while I change hosting companies. Email me at lisbetholiver@gmail.com if there are any photography requests!

Birthday in Central Park with my guys

2008-10-06T22:06:00.008-04:00

We spent my 31st birthday last weekend at Central Park. Chris and I took Enzo on his first subway ride (over 40 minutes one way and he did great!), so he could explore the city and see the biggest backyard in the city! My work is one block from Central Park (in Columbus Circle), so I was also able to get some shots so everyone can see where I work! I had a great birthday weekend thanks to my loving family and wonderful friends!

P.S. Photos by Chris and me - who knew we had two photographers in the family?!

Loser...

2008-09-18T09:18:00.001-04:00

I have been so bad about new photos on my blog! I hope to get back into the swing of things soon and have more images to share! Life has been crazy!

PJ's Second Birthday: Imagination Playground

2008-09-02T22:32:00.003-04:00

Second stop for the birthday celebration - Imagination Playground in Prospect Park! Mr. Oliver Pictures took all these great shots of PJ getting soaked and having a great time. Miss her already!

PJ's Second Birthday: Prospect Park

2008-09-01T22:29:00.015-04:00

We celebrated two my favorite people's birthdays in New York this weekend - Mandi and PJ! We had PJ's party in Prospect Park - flew kites, ate cupcakes, and played on an amazing playground. She is amazingly beautiful and photogenic, so we have so many great shots (including the last one, which Chris took!) More photos tomorrow of a soggy PJ playing at the Imagination Playground!

Stacey and Jacob

2008-08-13T17:52:00.011-04:00

I am so excited to post my first New York shoot! I had the wonderful opportunity to take engagement photos of Stacey and Jacob, some friends from Texas that have been living in New York for over five years now. I had a great time exploring the city and getting some great shots of them. Congratulations to you guys!

Great news!

2008-08-13T11:00:00.001-04:00

After a 3 month plus job search, I am excited to announce I have a new job as a Senior Graphic Designer starting next week! I can't wait and am so excited about a new creative opportunity!!

Happy birthday Chris!

2008-08-08T11:36:00.001-04:00

My lovely husband, Chris, turns 30 today... finally I am not the only 30 year old in our house! I love you so much and can't wait to spend your birthday weekend with you.

Sorry no photos this week!

2008-07-16T12:14:00.003-04:00

I am trying to get some projects done, get the house together before my parents (and Sammie) get here in a few days... I will try and get some good shots of my family's adventures in New York up next week!!

It's tough...

2008-07-09T01:00:00.001-04:00

It's tough being a dog in the city...

Eleanor and Chris at Pete's Candy Store

2008-07-08T00:55:00.000-04:00

Our friends, Eleanor Whitmore and Chris Masterson, are playing in Brooklyn every Monday for the month of July at Pete's Candy Store. Their set was amazing tonight and I had such a fun time - you will see me there every Monday for the next month! Check them out...

P.S. Chris and I had some good Mexican food in Brooklyn tonight - hooray!!

Exploring New York: 5 Pointz

2008-07-01T23:02:00.008-04:00

Today, my good friend Amy B took me to a great place to take photos. We are planning on having "photo dates" about every week-ish, so we can explore the city (check back for postings)!

5 Pointz is a living collage of graffiti art covering a converted warehouse full of artist studios in Long Island City... AWESOME!!

Jacob Jiles in Brooklyn

2008-06-27T23:05:00.010-04:00

This evening I got to listen to one of my best friends in the world, Ishaq, play in his band, Jacob Jiles. They played a cool bar in Brooklyn for the Brooklyn Royalty party, a new local fashion label. Love you Ishaq!

Ishaq is a model...

Our new neighborhood!

2008-06-18T00:55:00.010-04:00

Our street

A beautiful Catholic church on our street

We have a great park two blocks from our house - McGorlick Park

We love this park!

We made it!

2008-06-09T19:58:00.005-04:00

Chris and I made it to New York! We have an apartment in Greenpoint (move in this weekend) and I am on the job hunt! I went into the city today to take some photos, and of course, my camera battery was dead. Check back in a few days for some photos of my hood... Here is a quick one from my iPhone.

On the road

2008-06-01T17:29:00.003-04:00

Calli

2008-05-28T19:04:00.006-04:00

I got to photograph Calli (and her awesome parents) earlier this month. She is a very sweet little girl and I had alot of fun documenting her play time at the park!
This will be the last post until we get to New York - I will share some travel photos then!

Yucatan trip

2008-05-26T22:24:00.013-04:00

Chris and I just got back from an amazing 10 day vacation with my best friend Mandi and her husband, Ken ... we explored most of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. We had an amazing time - hiked Mayan ruins, explored colonial cities, and relaxed in a little beach town. Enjoy the a sampling of the photos - we took over 1000 photos on the trip! I should have one more post this week, before we head out on our New York adventure!

The first ruins we visited - Chichen Itza

San Felipe, a small fishing village on the northern coast

Beautiful church in the capital city of the Yucatan, Mérida

We saw these beautiful door-knockers all over the country

The Continental Patio restaurant in Mérida. We had an amazing meal and got to hear the most entertaining stories from the owner, Alberto (seen here).

The beautiful city of Campeche

Beetles are all over Mexico, so of course I had to capture them!

The view from the top of Structure II in Calakmul - we climbed all the way to the top!

Tulum Ruins

Our travel partners, Mandi and Ken, in Tulum.

Our flight back to the States was canceled because of mechanical problems... we really didn't want to stay in Cancun one more night!

One last hurrah!!

2008-05-14T20:30:00.002-04:00

Chris and I are on our way to the Yucatan for an awesome pre-move vacation with the Mocklers. I will post photos when we return!!

Lindsay's portraits

2008-05-12T12:44:00.009-04:00

I photographed Lindsay a few weeks ago - she is an amazing young woman that is graduating high school next month. Lindsay and her mom made laugh the entire time we were shooting! Good luck, Lindsay!

The reality of moving...

2008-05-10T14:19:00.007-04:00

Nothing makes moving more real than finishing up work and selling your car in 3 days... Wow, it is really happening!

A photo for the road of me and Rockwell, when I first got him...

Cindy and Tom (and Gabes!)

2008-04-27T23:11:00.026-04:00

One of my very best friends, Cindy, had her wedding reception this weekend in Austin. I shot some photos of the amazing event, that included most of our best friends, blue hair, and a few banged up nieces and nephews. We had an amazing time and I am so lucky to have such amazing friends in my life... This post is extra long!!

Adorable Gabes!

I photographed the Tyree girls a couple of weeks ago - they are adorable sisters with the greatest personalities!

I (heart) NY!

2008-04-09T21:40:00.004-04:00

Chris and I are moving to New York City at the end of May! It is a huge step for us and we are scared, but so very excited for this new adventure in our lives. We hope the city inspires us both creatively, so you will see Oliver Pictures in NY!

I'm back!!

2008-02-24T16:06:00.006-05:00

I just got back from my week-long vacation in England... had a blast, but it is good to be home!
I don't have many photo jobs scheduled in the coming months, so please let me know if anyone needs some photography work by yours truly!!

Gabes!

2008-02-22T06:03:00.007-05:00

The Big 3-0!

2007-10-04T11:38:00.001-04:00

Today is the first day of my thirties... wow! I keep thinking back to when I was in my early twenties, and 30 was so far away and so old! Well, I made it and I am looking forward to many exciting things- my new photography business and enjoying married life with Chris... here's to a great first year!

Here is me many years ago... reminds me that I still kinda look like this scruffy kid!

PJ's first birthday!

2007-09-16T19:37:00.003-04:00

My best friend Mandi and her beautiful daughter PJ had their 30th and 1st birthdays on September 4th. Chris and I went to Montreal to celebrate with them and their families and had such a wonderful time. Love you both and bonne fête!

Enjoying one of her presents!

Chris wants to steal PJ and bring her back to Austin.

Website in progress!

Keep checking back for updates on Oliver Pictures!

My favorite ladies!

2007-06-27T22:58:00.002-04:00

Chris and I had the wonderful fortune to spend a long weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida with my best friend and her family. While we were there, I took some portraits of Mandi, her daughter PJ (my god daughter), sister Sammie and their beautiful mother, Suzanne- I love these ladies! We also did a few candid shots of Mandi, PJ and Poppa Ken! Love you Hoopers/Bradens/Mocklers!
