Hi, I'm Sydney!


Hello!! My name is Sydney Maynard and I am the Owner/Photographer of Sydney Olivia Photography.


I have always loved taking photos. I started by photographing of a few of my friends when I was just 14. After lots of practice and learning I decided to officially start my business in February of 2020. I have loved every minute since!


In May of 2024 I graduated from South Dakota State University, earning my degree in Advertising. I loved Brookings so much that I decided to stay and am now based here!


Aside from photography, I love the simple joys of life. Traveling, learning, meeting new friends, and spending time with my people top the list. I also enjoy a good sunset, movie night, and hanging out with my goldendoodle, Mav :) I often find myself capturing the little things because they are so special to me!


My passion for photography has led me to many great people and I would love to connect with you as well!

“We’ve had Sydney capture all of our life’s milestones: engagement, wedding, newborn session- and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Her style and down-to-earth personality makes every time we shoot with her so memorable, easy, and fun. It also helps that we always love the outcome every time she sends us the gallery- she’s simply good at what she does. Can’t recommend her enough!!! We love Sydney Olivia Photography!”
