Hi there! My name is Vivien and I am a documentary photographer in the Manchester, CT area. I specialize in maternity, birth, newborn, and family photography. I am married to an amazing man and together we have three beautiful children, whom we homeschool.
In my camera bag, I have a Nikon D750 with a Sigma 35mm Art lens. As my backup, I have my trusty Nikon D7100 and an awesome ultra wide angle lens that I bought mainly for street photography- the Tokina 11-16mm.
I feel very honored and excited to be this week’s guest judge on the Dear Photographer Facebook page. Can’t wait to see all your amazing submissions!

Hi. I am Alexander from germany. I really love Viviens pictures. Cannot get enough from them.
I like the technical perfection and the mood. She always catches it in the right moment. The Moment that will never come back is caught in the photograph. Thank You Vivien.
Sorry for my english obviously not the best.
Thank you so much Alexander
