Liv Brown is a wife, mom and photographer based in Spokane, Washington.
Brown said she currently lives in Tekoa, Washington, which is a town in Whitman County, right between Spokane and Pullman.
“I’m going down to WSU to do some grad pictures,” she said. “[I do] lots of traveling.”
Brown said she got into photography because she used to always take photos on her phone and enjoyed taking pictures. One of her close family friends gave her a camera one day, which resulted in her becoming more serious about photography.
“I started offering everyone I know photos, and tried to get really creative with it,” she said. “[I would shoot] in front of old buildings and stuff and from there it kind of like grew in interest.”
