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! 

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 love to travel, I am so excited for wedding season to start! There are so many beautiful brides that I can’t wait to get my camera in front of … and to celebrate with them one of the most beautiful moments of their lives!

Here’s a small taste of the trip. We spent some time walking around getting some cultural shots in any of our “spare” time.

Doors and alleys always intrigue me, but especially in Southeast Asia.

24_37_india_favsA typical street scene. Laundry hung out to dry over the veggie stand man who’s staked out his territory on the curb in front of the oh-so-common snack shop. Oh, India. :)
40_india_favsThis guy was somethin’ else. He was hilarious and kept asking for more pics … and he was adamant that I get a good close up!

I just thought the environment was one of the most charming spaces I have ever seen in India. Look how cute it is!

… And beautiful, too!
