Testimonials
"Finding beauty and strength within your “mistakes” and in everyday moments. These are the main teachings that will take place if you find yourself lucky enough to learn photography from Liz.
Liz began by giving me the confidence in taking control of my camera. And beyond controlling the camera, she taught me to go beyond capturing an image - I learned to create the image. Liz gives training in the field where you want to most learn to capture art. If you are interested in portrait photography, be ready to take portraits - nature photography, you will be out in the wild. She customizes the lessons using your interests.
Liz will also go beyond controlling the camera and composing a photo. She gives opportunities to learn photo editing so you can take your photography beyond what the camera can do.
Liz is an open, positive and organized educator. Her lessons are detailed, yet she is open to going off the beaten trail if that’s what the moment needs.
Taking photography lessons with Liz didn’t just give me confidence to really dive into the art of photography, but also made me see life and the world around us more fully." - N.A.
“I started my photography business about a year and a half ago and a session with Liz was gifted to me, we laughed together and reminisced over a cup of coffee. As much as I enjoyed my time with her, I also learned so much, as far as manual settings, what they do, how to work with your camera, lighting, angles etc.! She was thorough & covered so much in just an hour that I had with her.” -J.O.
