Hey there!

Get to know me!

Starting as a fresh college graduate pursuing teaching, my journey took an unexpected turn towards photography. Captivated by my boys' growth, I began capturing life's moments in 2016. This passion evolved into a full-time photography career, intertwining love, emotion, and family bonds. Yet, my educator's heart remained. Today, I blend my photographic artistry with teaching, offering an enriched, diverse learning experience. Capturing love, emotion, and connection between families and couples brings me immense joy.

 

We chose Elizabeth for our wedding photographer because she was passionate about sharing important moments as a story. As we look back on our engagement, wedding, maternity, and newborn photos, we truly believe that she did exactly that! The memories are captured perfectly, honestly, and beautifully.
