“So

I took photos for my high school newspaper and senior year was the Photo Editor. As most busy adults know all too well, work gets in the way and life and the goal of having a photo of mine be published in a newspaper by age 30. I took the photos I had taken and brought them to a local newspaper and actually got a job as a "stringer" photographer. I had my first photo assignment ON my birthday (was actually late to my own birthday party!) and had my first photo in the paper three days later. (I gave myself a 3-day window so I met my goal) Since that time I have been a stringer photographer for Pioneer Press Newspapers, Wednesday Journal and Northwest News Group. Here's a sample of Liz's work. As a photojournalist I tell stories. So how would I shoot a wedding? I would tell the story of the day itself. The bride for instance getting ready, your family getting ready and your soon to be husband pacing and maybe a little nervous getting support from his friends. Candid shots of your family looking at you, the subtle smile and warmth. I basically start in the am and continue to the pm. I generally shoot digital but since my love of film- black and white in particular, allows me to capture special moments that I believe makes a photograph special and not be the usual staged photographs. 12 years of professional
