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! 

the fun and amazing toni turns 30 {oklahoma}

You know those people that bring out the best in you and light up your life? My friend, Toni, is one of those. She’s been through a lot with me. She’s loved me through it all and has patiently waited for me to work through seasons of sadness and loss, which makes our time together even sweeter. Sadly, I don’t get to see her often, but when I do, it’s loads of fun!

She is comfortable and confident, which makes being around her (and even living with her) so peaceful. To top that off, she’s got this great laugh and she lets it out often … this is a girl who knows how to laugh at life and enjoy the little things! In a moment’s notice, she can go from laughing to tear-filled eyes, and more often than not, they’re tears of joy and thankfulness. It’s a beautiful thing.

Toni just had her 30th birthday, and to celebrate it, we did a really quick little photo shoot as I was leaving her place in Oklahoma City.

Thanks, Toni, for an super-fun stay with you out in good ‘ol OKC … and, once more, Happy Birthday, friend! :)

P.S. Did I mention she’s stunningly beautiful?

Even though she can totally rock the serious model face, this (below) is the real Toni. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be her friend? We decided that this is what 30 should look like. :)
