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! 

get involved

It’s decision time. Now that you know, what are you going to do about it? 

Here are some ways you can get involved:

• HOST A HOME PARTY | You set out some food and invite your friends. I will gladly come and show a short video and then have a brief Q&A time afterwards … and I’ll even bring some of the amazing hand-crafted journals made by some of my rescued friends in Nepal for your friends to buy!

• TELL YOUR FRIENDS | Tell them about Almond Leaf Studios, but, more importantly, tell them about what’s going on in the world (the U.S. included!) 

• BOOK A SHOOT OR WEDDING WITH US | Every shoot we do contributes to my ability to go, give, and educate others about this injustice and the ways we can all fight against it.

• EDUCATE YOURSELF | There’s seriously tons of great information out there on the web about this issue. Start with some of our links and then dive into researching it yourself … and tell us if you find any cool new links!

• GIVE YOUR RESOURCES | Whether you’ve got some time you can give (an hour or a month) or some mula you can part with for the sake of the cause (5 bucks, or 500 bucks … we’re happy with either!), we’d love for you to support us in our endeavors … or any of the organizations we’re connected to. Contact us for more info.

• VOLUNTEER | Ask the organization of your choice how you might be able to help. If you’d like some help with this, just give us a call. We’d love to get you connected!
