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! 

why almond leaf?

Almond Leaf Studios exists so that I (Elizabeth) can have the flexible schedule I need to continue giving my time, energy, and abilities to help in the fight to end human trafficking. Whether it’s traveling the world to love on amazingly resilient girls who have been rescued out of the brothels, moving my life to a third-world country, or sitting in front of my computer designing promotional materials for partnering organizations, I am committed to doing any and everything I can. By supporting Almond Leaf Studios and becoming a client, you make this possible!

… And, if one day I just disappear from the U.S., you can rest assured that I’ll undoubtedly be surrounded by wonderfully dirty and awesome street kids somewhere in the world, or a room full of girls rediscovering their identity after experiencing significant trauma, and I’ll probably have tears in my eyes and a huge smile on my face. I’ll be lovin’ every minute of it.
