i'm elizabeth...

photographer, educator, artist,
online marketing guru

I'm a wedding photographer with a degree in art, a love for travel, and over 13 years of experience capturing weddings. I'm an educator, online marketing guru, and an entrepreneur with big dreams. 

I'm obsessed with: landscaping with rock, homemade pickles, vinegar based hot sauce, a perfect manhattan, and being outdoors.

hey there,

With a degree in art, I still find my fingers stained with ink or soaked in paint from time to time. My camera just happens to be my most often used medium.

My idea of a perfect guilty pleasure day is going on a hike in the woods alone, with silence, my handcrafted journal, and plenty of pens to write and sketch with on top of the mountain.

In my previous life before Almond Leaf, I sat in a cubicle designing a magazine that went out to almost a million people each month. Now I get to explore the world, and I love it.

I started capturing weddings as a way to fund my passion for traveling the world and giving back to those in need. I never imagined myself becoming a wedding photographer, but I love it!

While I certainly know how to kick some *** at business, and can direct a wedding party into cooperating for group photos like the best of them, I am actually pretty laid back and love to go with the flow. I'm a total introvert, too.

For real ... I'm obsessed with pickles. Spicy, sour, salty ... just not sweet. I could eat a jar in one sitting!

Wether it's the mountains in our backyard, or a foreign city abroad, I am ALWAYS down for an adventure ... especially if it involves the outdoors.

with a degree in art, I still find my hands covered in ink, dirt, wax, or paint often. 

Most days you can find me working from my home studio (that we had built in our backyard), playing with my little girl, or sipping a glass of sparkling rose. 

I love helping other creative entrepreneurs refine their businesses, build out successful marketing plans, and grow their business in a way that allows them to experience the work life balance they always dreamed of! I'm all about efficient, profitable, lifestyle brands!

I am passionate about seeing this world become a better place through adding beauty in simplicity, caring for my neighbors, doing my best to raise a kind human, and beautifying my yard. 

I captured my first wedding in 2005 after months of begging from some close friends, and haven't stopped since! Well over a decade later, I am still photographing brides looking for timeless, elegant, intentionally crafted images during the most intimate, magical moments on their wedding days.  

I am lucky enough to show them my brides just HOW gorgeous they are on their wedding day, and how much joy and celebration there was as they were surrounded by their absolute favorite people on earth. 

It's my absolute honor to be trusted to capture and showcase their vision in an artful, timeless, beautiful way. 

If you, or someone you know, is getting married soon, I'd be honored to capture the day!
