embrace THE UNEXPECTED.
“Chance Encounters” means valuing each moment as a unique and irreplaceable experience. Every meeting, gathering, and exchange is a singular event that will never occur again in the same way. Our name emphasizes the importance of being present, recognizing that cherished moments are fleeting.
For us, photography is about preserving a feeling, an emotion, and a story. Each photograph is an opportunity to capture an encounter that will never be repeated. We craft narratives of vulnerable, delicate, and raw emotions that make milestones unforgettable and real. Through our lens, we celebrate life's chance encounters and the beauty of imperfection.
Olivia Burke and Erin Cuevas are two women coming from diverse life experiences, who became best friends in college in part through a shared passion for photography that they developed during their studies abroad. Their cameras are Cammy and Sonya, respectively. When not behind the lens, Erin works as an architect and designer in Portland; Olivia is a film and visual effects talent recruiter in New York.
