Welcome to the Almond Leaf Blog!

I (Elizabeth) am a photographer who loves to see people relax, laugh and enjoy life. I thoroughly enjoy the simple delights of life, and love having the opportunity to capture them through my lens.

I see my camera as a means to reveal the beauty I see in people, objects, and Light that usually go unnoticed. While I adore children, weddings, and families enjoying life together, the driving force behind Almond Leaf Studios is a deep desire to see that same freedom and joy realized in the lives of women and children suffering injustice throughout the world. Photographing your family, your engagement, or your wedding day directly contributes to my ability to help in the fight against human trafficking and other social injustices throughout the world. 

In this blog you'll find professional posts about what we're doing at Almond Leaf Studios, silly details about my quirky little life, and hopefully a funny story or two that'll put a smile on your face. Check back regularly for the latest happenings, and don't forget to leave a comment!

Alaska

More India

Home from India

I’m back … and totally jet-lagged. I’ve managed to bring back a pretty miserable head cold along with all my images and wonderful memories, so I’m movin’ a bit slow, but I’m back! Please bear with me as I continue sorting through emails and returning phone calls. I do have to say that while I...

a favorite from India

I would love to write about the rich culture here, the constant noise, the insane traffic, the intense stares that my blond curly hair attracts … or about the art classes I’m honored to teach to underprivileged kids here … or living with an Anglo-Indian family for a week … on and on the list...
