it's not just about the visuals--it's about the people
Olive Thompson Photography is rooted in the belief that the most meaningful work lives at the intersection of creativity and connection. I welcome everyone to the lens—regardless of photo experience, body type, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity or expression, religion, or background. I know how vulnerable it can feel to be in front of the camera, and I’m here to ensure you feel seen, safe, and celebrated every step of the way.

ABout Olive
Biz Owner / Photographer / Cat Mom
Olive also also works in the AI space, focusing on innovations in psychology and health tech. She holds multiple AI-related certifications, including AI in Healthcare from Stanford University, and previously served as Co-Chair of the Therapists in Tech Mentorship Program Committee.
Bouncing between NYC and Colorado, Olive works with a range of brands—from local businesses to established names—merging luxury visuals into every project. Olive’s NYC highlights include her ongoing participation in NYFW since 2018, performing as a dancer in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and befriending Scottie the cat on 37th Street. In Colorado, she loves working with local businesses to bring their stories to life—and feels lucky to have so many local business owners as real life friends.
