“Liz was professional, kind, and well organized. It’s clear that she has been in the photo industry for a while & she knows what she is doing in every which way. My photos turned out beautiful and timeless and now I get to cherish them for a lifetime.”
“Liz was so amazing to work with! I felt completely prepared… Liz was able to pose my daughter beautifully. She was so calming and kind to me and made the session a relaxing morning which doesn’t happen much when you have a new baby. The photos Liz provided are so beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for. Liz has a gift with babies and I will be hiring her again for our families future photography needs.”
“We absolutely loved working with Liz for my son’s newborn and 6-month milestone photos! She took the sweetest pictures in our home during those precious newborn days. Her studio in Forest, VA is also perfect for whatever your vision is! She is so well organized, always had our photos ready quickly, and was a joy to work with!”
