MY PASSION

My journey into the world of photography began in high school when my father gifted me his cherished old 35mm camera. From that moment, I was captivated by the art of film and made the decision to delve deeper by pursuing fine art in college. It was within the confines of the darkroom that I truly discovered my inner peace and creative sanctuary. I adore the deliberate, slow process of developing film, the intoxicating smell of developer, and the thrilling suspense that comes with each exposure. There is something profoundly magical about capturing images created with light, only to have them come to life in the darkness. It fills me with immense pride to offer photography that resonates deeply with my clients, evoking emotions that are often hard to articulate. Photography is an art form steeped in emotion, and there is no one on this planet who understands its power and depth more than I do.

Photography runs much deeper than shoot and click

Its the moments we cherish and hold close to our hearts forever, even when the promise of forever feels uncertain. I am dedicated to crafting a uniquely customized wedding experience for each couple I have the privilege to work with. After all, no two weddings are ever the same! This incredible journey has been thriving for seven wonderful years, and I wake up each day filled with gratitude for the path I am on. I often say that when you pursue what you truly love, that passion radiates from within you! That vibrant energy is what I seek to capture in every frame. Love is the thread that weaves us all together, and we pour our hearts into that beautiful connection.

If you’re not hiring Liz as your photographer for your wedding, engagement shoot, mini shoot, pregnancy shoot, or any shoot, you’re doing it wrong. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Honestly, that to me doesn’t even cover it!!! The most fun, creative, talented, passionate, and professional person I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I used Liz for my engagement shoot, bridal boudoir and my wedding. Every single picture is literally stunning. Every single shoot was so freaking fun- I was sad when they were over. Liz’ personality makes anyone feel comfortable behind a camera. She is extremely dedicated to her clients – we happened to be one of her COVID couples and had to cancel/reschedule our wedding but Liz stuck by our side every step of the way. She bent over backwards for us to make sure our new wedding day was set. She gives sneak peeks(which literally blew me away every time and had me wanting more) & provides all your photos in a timely manner. I have gotten SO many compliments on our photos and asked who our photographer was and I’m always SO proud to flaunt her stuff (literally obsessed over her work). I cannot wait to continue to work with her. LADIES & GENTS, YOU WANT THIS PHOTOGRAPHER- trust me. It seriously doesn’t get better than her.

I hired Liz from Have Heart Photography to capture our beach proposal in Cape May. She did an amazing job! She was able to capture every moment and tell a story with her photos. Her editing style is perfect for the beach and gives a gorgeous light and airy look. I’d recommend 100%
