Meet Me
I truly believe that God brings a type of joy you can’t find anywhere else. I also believe photography provides the perfect medium to capture that happiness and beauty so that it can be cherished for years to come.
My name is Elizabeth and my vision is to capture photos of each joyful, emotional, beautiful moment in a family’s story and preserve them, so that the feelings of love, warmth, and growth can be revisited time and again.

“Family portraiture lets children learn who they are and where they fit (…) They learn their genealogy and the uniqueness of their own family and its story. When a child sees a family portrait with them included in the photograph they say to themselves: ‘These people have me as part of what they are, that’s why I belong here. This is where I come from.’”
How I ensure your photos are magical:
01
Movement and silliness are encouraged - not prohibited!
Kids can feel free to express themselves in a way that is authentic and showcases their personalities, even if it means they’re squirmy!
02
Cue allLLLL the fun and games!
Families are encouraged to play, laugh, joke around, and generally be themselves, without worrying about the camera.
03
comfort is key.
My goal is to create a candid environment that doesn’t feel stuffy or formal so that you can truly relax and let your joy shine through in photos.
It’s like chatting with an old friend...
We’ve used “Joy in Photos” twice and plan to use go back again and again! We did a family fall mini and just recently and infant shoot. The photos turned out absolutely stunning both times!
Elizabeth is super accommodating! She listens to what you want, she provides guidance when needed, her editing is fantastic, and her turn around time is short. She’s a fantastic photographer but also very personable. It’s like chatting with an old friend- which helps not feeling awkward in front of the camera.

Elizabeth was incredible in every way!
Our 2 year old son was not going to sit still and pose. She gave us all the advice to follow his lead and follow him around and ended up with the most amazing pictures capturing his sweet personality and our love in our family. We have never had professional photos done before and will be doing these yearly with her. Her passion for photography is evident through working with her and seeing her photos. The quality of photos was incredible and are now all over our home for decorations. I love seeing her photos for other shoots as well, they are stunning!
RACHEL
She is a miracle worker for babies and toddlers!
She captures their personalities beautifully and is so easy and fun to work with. She was extremely patient and understanding of my "inspo pics" and encouraged me to send them to her and was willing to make my vision come to life! I will continue to use her for future photos of my family as well.. she truly is a joy to work with and the photos turned out better than I could have imaged! I will love them and treasure them forever.
